Gundam Battle Tactics [J]

Game Info:
The One Year War flares up once again with Federation and Zeon at each other's collective throats in a new and original 3D action game from Bandai. Players choose a side at the outset, select a male or female mobile suit driver, and rush into battle against the opposition. Episodes are cut into missions where objectives are laid out at the outset and a difficulty ranking is assigned to the mission.

Upon starting the game, the following options appear:
Mission - Select the side of the Earth Federation or Zeon and start ops
VS Mode - Select a 1P Battle or network wirelessly again up to 3 gamers
Gallery - MS Viewer / War Record / Museum galleries
Option - Set BGM Level, Voice Level, SE Level, and configure controls

• Select Mission on the side of the Federation and the game starts with an encounter at Alice Springs. From the primer screen, we learn that the Field is Canyon and the difficulty level is ranked "D". Two Mobile Suits are selectable in this level, a GM with a default Beam Spray Gun and a GM[G] who hefts a default 100mm MG. Other weapons are available by moving the D-Pad left and right. If the game is started on the side of the Zeon, the first mission takes place in Hong Kong.

• The game runs fast with well animated Gundam movement as clunky robots roam the landscape with convincing weight - each running step juts down like a heavy leg and each move has apparent gravity. A Search Radar is located on the lower left corner which tracks enemies on the field. Weapons are listed on the middle right of the screen and the thruster reserve is on the lower right. Players may jump jet around the screen for short distances to close in on a target or flee from trouble. Each mission has a time limit which counts down on the upper left corner.

The controls are as follows:
D-Pad - Move the Mobile Suit around
Analog Pad - Change world perspective
X - Launch thrusters for a short hop. Press again for sustained flight.
O - Fire primary weapon
SQUARE - Activate secondary weapon
TRIANGLE - Sword attack
R TRIGGER - Lock-on to enemy
L TRIGGER - Raise shield

Double-tapping the D-pad in any direction will force the mech to thrust in that direction.
