   Pretty good. I was simply impressed by the fact that a Gundam game (FINALLY!!) get's out of the One Year War for at least some of it9;s storylines. Honestly, the One Year War is as much of a beaten, dead horse as World War II. The graphics are excellent, and the game fully captures the fast paced dogfighting aspect of Gundam, but the controls are hard to get used to, and the game is overall quite difficult. If you're a gundam fan, you'll love it. If you're not a Gundam fan, I don't see why you're even looking this game up.… Expand

   I love the Gundam series to death, but this game just doesn't do it justice. Sure, the anime sequences and mobile suits you can pilot here are quite awesome, (Though I thought they could have put more emphasis on series OTHER than 0079 and 0083) but the gameplay is less than impressive. My least favorite thing is the horrid lock-on system, which is SUPPOSED to first lock on the target closest to you, and then each successive target according to distance. However, I find myself getting hit with a beam sword if I rely on that. Locking on to essential targets, i.e. cruisers that have to be destroyed before leaving the target area to complete the mission, should be a whole hell of a lot easier and given priority (Since it IS for mission completion). The control scheme is difficult to get used to, and you can not make custom adjustments to remedy this; there are 3 control schemes, and you like 'em or lump 'em, pretty much. The two modes of combat are inside of sphere and free course going straight. The second is my favorite, as it somewhat resembles games like StarFox. If only the gameplay were better...giving one all of these great options and ruining it by making combat confusing and unnecessarily difficult makes for a CRYIN' SHAME! Maybe next time...… Expand

   A horrible disappointment of a game; perhaps I was unfairly biased by playing AEUG vs Titans, with its magnificent play control and adjustable difficulty scale, but Encounters in Space is just painfully bad. As other reviewers have mentioned, the dub voices are abysmal and totally inappropriate. The controls are unresponsive and not at all intuitive, and the missions seem either mindless or impossible, with no space in between. The 'targeting system' doesn't even succeed in keeping you locked on a target and letting you move around, but instead it breaks targeting at the slightest provocation as your mobile suit zips wildly around the confusing and bizarre battlefield, which for some reason has been covered with spherical lines and marks. Furthermore, unlike the superior AEUG vs Titans, your 'allies' give you little support and in fact often prove to be your undoing as they fly off randomly into space and do nothing useful, leaving you to be blasted into space dust by your foes, who all simultaneously converge on your spot. Couple this with the 'helpful' bridge crew screaming at you every time you or they get hit, and you have one of the most deeply unfulfilling games ever created for any system, but certainly one of the worst in the prolific line of Gundam games. This is one to avoid unless you're willing to spend literally days accustomizing yourself with the horrible controls that seem fully intent on getting you blown up. Pick up AEUG vs Titans instead; even if they never translate it to English (which I'm hoping will never happen since this game was butchered by its hideous English voice acting) its play control is ten times more intuitive at least, and it's much more fun to play. A high count of mobile suits doesn't really make me care about Encounters in Space, since the interesting pilots weren't included...just the pathetic, whiny, unlikable non-entities from 0079, with a few from 0083 peppered around for interest. One to skip.… Expand
