    If you like the cel shading technique, prepare to be literally blown away...TDK does a splendid job with the color schemes, and most of the little effects compliment the main graphics perfectly.

    Even my friends, those who hate anime with a burning passion have found love in this cel-shaded action game. Definitely the best mech game in existence.

    Some might find the control a tad complicated and some missions overly difficult, but the action is very solid, overall.

    This brilliant re-creation of the Robotech universe is a dream come true for fans of the animated series -- but it won't appeal to many others.

    I have to say it. I felt a little disappointed. The game is not bad, but I expected something better. The cinematics are just picturesI have to say it. I felt a little disappointed. The game is not bad, but I expected something better. The cinematics are just pictures (remember that this game is based on a anime), the graphics could be better, the voices sound a little unprofessional. And where is Rick Hunter???. In the other hand we have a nice design of mechas, a lot of missions, nice gameplay and a good replay value. Nice game but incomplete.… Expand
