    This game is a great one but there is one problem the computer is to weak its just to easy, after u unlock all the moblie suits there is nothing left to do exect try to do better in your time modes, I like the idea of the game it just needs to be harder.

    Lots of gundams to chose from but needed a more animated aproach towards the grapics and cut scenes.

    This has to be one of the two best fighting games I've ever played. Burning Gundam and Gundam Heavy Arms rock. It's great how all the controls are the same for each suit (v>Tri=vulchans, etc.), unlike old Street Fighter games. Plus, for a 2D game, these graphics kick butt!

    A great attempt of a 2d fighter with a Gundam aesthetic. It improves upon the 1st Battle Assault, but still has all the same problems. I rather play encounter in spaces.

    Graphics aged beautiful for a retro game.

  1. Graphically, this is a great looking PSX title. Each MS, pilot, and background was hand drawn and colored to provide a bright, anime style presentation overall.
  2. The graphics have a grainy low-resolution edge (similar to all 2D fighting games), but there's no denying the gorgeous colors, beautifully meticulous hand-drawn art and vibrant animation.
  3. A poor-man’s 32-bit alternative to the fun Gundam antics recently unleashed on PS2’s the world over via “Federation Vs. Zeon.” It’s not a bad game per se as much as a generic and uninspired one.
