    The single most impressive thing about this game is the visuals. It ‘s quite remarkable to behold. Not in a “isn’t that pretty as an oil painting” kind of way, but in the sheer grand scale of it.

    Looks great, controls well, and has more explosions per square inch than any three other games. We love it. [Feb 2003, p.34]

    The striking visual design, the intensity of the battles, and the seamlessness of the mech's transformation add up to an engaging experience.

    There's nothing like towering over a squad of infantry troops in a mech and obliterating them with a flick of your retro rockets rather then wasting ammo. I felt that was a nice touch.

    This is a pretty amazing game with more than just goin around in a giant robot that can also turn into plane and blowing things up. there is a certain element of tactics involved. i love games based on robots so this is a great game by me, if you are less into giant robot warefare then i wud still recomend this as a high choice as its gameplay is phenominal. So says Phalanx Dream.… Collapse

    It's quite a fun game, challenging and interesting. It loses out on the wingmates - most of them die quite easily, and on the storyline, which felt more of an extra, pasted onto the end of each scene rather than part of the game itself. Overall it was a good game, but is less immersive than many games I've played… Expand
