    Transforming robots, stylish graphics and a huge variety of missions make up for the occasional bump in the road. [Nov 2002, p.72]

    Brilliant use of cell shading to create an animated effect and the surprisingly workable control scheme.

    Battlecry gives you some blistering combat, but the franchise could truly explode if it tapped into the series' rich subtleties. [Nov 2002, p.140]

    Fans of the Robotech series should be highly impressed. Others … well maybe, maybe not.
  7. Media and Games Online Network

    The A.I and such may seem rather disappointing at times, but when you get down to the bare bones of it all, this is just a fun game to play and enjoy.
  8. Gamer's Pulse

    The game play is exciting and difficult at times but all in all it is an astounding chance to take on the role of a Veritech fighter pilot.

    A must have for fans of the series, or lovers of mechs, but a definite avoid for pirates, and people with two fingers.
  10. IGN

    If the show could be slowed down by the multiple drawn out love stories, then the game certainly gets bogged down by gameplay that eventually gets repetitive and cheesy AI that doesn't present enough new challenges.
  11. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    It does an incredible job of re-creating the show's fast-paced mech combat by combining slick animation and spot-on controls. [Nov 2002, p.302]

    Very impressive capturing the feel of the anime series, but too bad the game itself is above average at best. Just doesn't feel like you Very impressive capturing the feel of the anime series, but too bad the game itself is above average at best. Just doesn't feel like you are flying a fighter, more like Top Gun for Nintendo back in the day. The worse part is the multiplayer is a complete waste. What's up with only having one level to start out? … Full Review »
