Summary

Welcome to a future world where gigantic robots piloted by humans wage a hi-tech winner-take all war. Your fighting skills will be put to the ultimate test as you challenge other pilots for the right to be called the best. Follow 3 different story lines - G Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Mobile Suit Gundam - and fight across 6 modes of battle. As Burning Gundam, you're a martial arts specialist in search of your brother. Then, as Heero Yuy in Gundam Wing, attempt to destroy Treize Khushrenada. And finally, use Gundam RX-78 to wage war against the Principality of Zeon. Based on "Mobile Suit Gundam," the hugely popular Japanese anime series, seen on TV and available on DVD, Gundam Battle Assault 2 proves once and for all the Bigger they Are, the Harder they Brawl! Suit Up Or Shut Up! [Bandai]

The graphics have a grainy low-resolution edge (similar to all 2D fighting games), but there's no denying the gorgeous colors, beautifully meticulous hand-drawn art and vibrant animation.

Graphically, this is a great looking PSX title. Each MS, pilot, and background was hand drawn and colored to provide a bright, anime style presentation overall.

PSX Nation

A poor-man’s 32-bit alternative to the fun Gundam antics recently unleashed on PS2’s the world over via “Federation Vs. Zeon.” It’s not a bad game per se as much as a generic and uninspired one.

This is the best gundam game yet and i think one of the best fighting games ever period.

Josh H. gave it a 9:
It was all right.

Kage T. gave it a 10:
This has to be one of the two best fighting games I've ever played. Burning Gundam and Gundam Heavy Arms rock. It's great how all the controls are the same for each suit (v>Tri=vulchans, etc.), unlike old Street Fighter games. Plus, for a 2D game, these graphics kick butt!

Gundam Heavy Arms Custom gave it a 10:
The best psone game ever.

Hottt H. gave it a 10:

Acman G. gave it a 10:
