  • Summary: Control a Veritech fighter, switching from ground to hover to flight mode instantly, as you battle in the ultimate combat experience! It's a desperate struggle to save the earth in over 40+ missions with 40 Veritech fighters on land, air and outer space. Take the role of intrepid fighter pilot Jack Archer, who must put his skills to the test in the ultimate battle against the forces of the alien Zentraedi. Sit at the controls of a Veritech fighter, a unique mecha capable of ground-based fighting in robot form. Or have the option to instantaneously change into a fast attack fighter for aerial dog fighting plus the hybrid Guardian mode that blends some of the strengths and weaknesses of the other two modes. The fast-paced gameplay and freedom of movement, combined with the well known space opera, makes Robotech: BattleCry impossible to put down! [TDK Mediactive]… Expand

    This is the game all of us transforming robot fans have been waiting for...sign petitions, buy two copies, solicit your Congressman, just make sure you get this game and work to make sure it gets a sequel.

    Constrained environments, sluggish controls, and a lack of overall mission variety keep it from realizing its full potential.

    This lack of polish could be forgiven in a game with tight gameplay, but that's not Battlecry. Your Veritech feels wimpy and clunky in every mode.

    Ok, I'm a big fan of RoboTech, I think the game flat out rocks! But if you don't like RoboTech, then you may not like the game.

    The graphics move well, but otherwise look horrible. The various mecha all look like construction paper cutouts on bland backgrounds. The Zentraedi starships are a particular disappointment. And the SDF-1 looks VERY crude. The control is similarly iffy. It feels like trying to fly through mud. Mode changing is awkward because of its placement on the D-Pad. No other control schemes are available. As for action, it is bland and surprisingly non-interactive. Most missions you simply fly around and wait for a red targeting display to appear, then you fire. Often you don't see your enemy except as a tiny dot. There is hardly ever any sense of urgency or action. The missions are all very uninspired, and there is a recurring problem with the game not really filling you in on what your mission objectives are supposed to be. Many times you'll pass or fail a mission without having any idea why. The game can be somewhat enjoyable if you're a fan. Otherwise, its a stinker that gamers should avoid. … Expand
