    The bottom line is if you're smart enough to read the title, you're smart enough to know what you're buying. So anime fans play to your heart's content. I know I am!

    It can be fun at times, and leveling your pilots up does encourage multiple play throughs, but this game is much more suitable for Gundam enthusiasts than the average gamer.

    Aside from replacing ancient Chinese warlords with robots from the all-pervasive classic anime series' mythology, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam changes as little as possible. [Oct 2007, p.81]

    Well, for what it's worth, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam wins the distinction of being the first game that made me fall asleep while playing it. [Sept 2007, p.92]

    Dynasty Warriors: Gundam takes the worst elements of both franchises, and smashes them together into a dismally vapid action game.

    Dynasty Warriors is as stagnated as ever and now carries the weight of a niche franchise upon its back. An overhaul is long overdue.

    Middling fun in small doses, but how many times can you play the same game? [Dec 2007, p.85]

    Too many people put this game down just because they played the other Dynasty Warrior games to death. If you're new to the franchise, orToo many people put this game down just because they played the other Dynasty Warrior games to death. If you're new to the franchise, or even Gundam, I'd highly recommend this. A good veriety of mechs, intense gameplay, and interesting story quirks, you won't be bored. Especially with all the characters you'll unlock.… Expand

I really enjoy the selection of Gundams. I think the Gundam series works well with the style of gameplay Dynasty Warriors has to offer. It isn't super in depth but it gets the job done. The boss fights are always a blast when you are boosting all over the place and firing off super attacks. I really have nothing bad to particularly say about this game, I really can not wait for the next one!… Expand

    A lot of people who hate the game probably have never played a DW game before. They probably didn't know what they were getting into.A lot of people who hate the game probably have never played a DW game before. They probably didn't know what they were getting into. However, I love DW BECAUSE it is a game where you just wade through 600 weak enemies with the simple push of a button. The Gundam thing is cool, too. I like Gundam, so that was a bonus. If you don't like DW, you won't like this game, guaranteed. Oh, and the unimpressive graphics and cheezy dialogue are to be expected from a DW game, but you may be too busy wading through enemies and keeping an eye on your kill count to notice.… Expand

    Excellent graphics make it seem like you're part of an anime series. Fans of DW won't be disappointed.

    As a Gundam fan I was impressed by the breadth of mobile suits represented. I have only the 100,000 units achievement left to get to 1000.

    I've played basically every Dynasty Warriors game, and this one's not a bad one. The mechs are something new, and the space battles I've played basically every Dynasty Warriors game, and this one's not a bad one. The mechs are something new, and the space battles are novel (while still flat-plane). The area-securing gameplay works well, too. It's a good option when you need a quick melee fix -- after all, DW games are the new(-ish?) Double Dragon. Don't expect much (it's repetitive, doesn't look that great, and is uber-simplistic), and you'll have some fun for a weekend or so.… Expand

    Vous prenez un gros étron de la dynastie des étrons "Dynasty Warriors", vous mettez des robots d'un mauvais goût manga-niais à hurler de rireVous prenez un gros étron de la dynastie des étrons "Dynasty Warriors", vous mettez des robots d'un mauvais goût manga-niais à hurler de rire dedans et le tour est joué : voilà "Dynasty Warriors Gundam". Tout un programme... Chez Koei on est écolo : on recycle la même merde régulièrement !

    Boulotté à la va-vite, c'est exactement le même jeu affligeant, consternant qu'un Dynasty Warriors, le niveau zéro multiplié à l'infini sauf que ça fait toujours zéro... au final. A noter que pour rigoler 5 mn (avant d'appuyer sur eject), on peut avoir les voix japonaises (on se croirait dans San Ku Kaï).    … Expand
