    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?

    Terrific game for fans of the animation series. The cel shading helps the feel and they have done an awesome job creating a game that lets you get into the frantic firefights just like in the show! My only 2 regrets are that at times it is slow/difficult to control in Mech mode and the story could be improved.

    Great game, good graphics and ok story, i'm not a fan of the Robotech series, the only downside i see about this game is that is really difficult, you can get stuck in one mission, and never get out of it, and the difficulty is not the one you would like...getting 1/3 of energy down with just one oponent's shot?? ...

    The graphics and atmosphere are definitely neat, but I dislike the gameplay. The controls feel awkward, and the missions aren't exactly well designed.

    Despite the inclusion of original voice-talent from the show, cel-shaded graphics that closely mimick the Robotech universe, and the ability to transform the Veritech at will, the title still comes off as an average mech game with bland objectives and sloppy play-control.

    A decent, but unremarkable game. The story, graphics, music, and voice acting will greatly appeal to fans of the show, but I don't see these aspects bringing new fans into the fold.

    The engine is slick and the action thick... Just know that the gameplay mechanics throughout fail to present the depth needed to truly engage long-term.
