    Gundam Extreme Versus Maxiboost ON is easily the best console release available for these games. Not only does it represent a decade’s worth of serious arcade multiplayer balancing, it also has an extensive singleplayer setup to keep any Gundam fan occupied. Put simply, this is a thoroughbred multiplayer game with an immense amount of depth and variety. The sheer scale of this undertaking may seem daunting at first but stick with it and your path towards becoming a Newtype will be assured.

    Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxiboost ON is a fantastic arena fighter that is sure to not only grab Gundam fans who are already in love with the franchise, but arcade players who are looking for that next addictive fighting experience.

    Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxiboost On may not be newcomer friendly, but it is one of the best Gundam gaming experiences available. It takes everything that makes the arcade version great and brings it to console players. The expanded roster of Mobile Suits with both online and offline modes makes every moment spent playing rewarding. The tutorial desperately needs some addressing, but this is the Versus game we’ve been waiting for.

    Arcade aficionados and Gundam fans alike will have an absolute blast with Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON. While there is a bit of a learning curve, the sheer speed, depth, and fanservice on display make it a shining example of the fighting game genre.

    I absolutely have to give Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs Maxi Boost ON credit for its sheer depth of goods as a Gundam fighting game. It packs a lot of fanservice into one game for a franchise so vast and full of different mechs, and it doesn’t lose out on offering a quality fighting system to do it.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxiboost On is the best Gundam arcade fighter on PlayStation 4 but as entertaining as it is it's still a 4 years old game with lackluster visuals and very few people playing online.

    Extreme Vs isn't going to make a Gundam fan out of anyone that isn't already one, but there's a lot to love for any existing fans. The core fighting mechanics are solid, although it's disappointing there isn't more variation in terms of match types. Even still the incredible roster makes up for any shortcomings the game might have, and it's plenty of fun to spend hours trying out scores of different suits with ridiculous flashy attacks.

Visuals effectively capture pseudo-realistic but also somewhat animated lookingOutstanding and expanded version of the fantastic arcade game. Visuals effectively capture pseudo-realistic but also somewhat animated looking on their style as well. Fast paced action game that delivers for those looking for high-speed and well made multiplayer or someone that just wants to grind away at what will seem like a near infinite number of suits available in the game. Connections as well have been solid in most instances with the Also in my experience the match finding process has been pretty intuitive and easy to find lobbies at all but the strangest hours (assuming your are searching for games within in your region). All in all I think the game is a legitimate 9. The lack of compelling SP content is a bit disappointing particularly after then taking a bit of time pre-release to highlight that was to be more robust SP offerings. While that is not and never should be the primary focus of this or any such type game, it would certainly be nice and provide a better rounded package fo those not planning rand as much time with. The MP matches. (Forced to bump to a ten as a result of short-sighted reviewers giving out genuinely irresponsible scores like 2 which is just objectively wrong based on every past and current metric we have from this and prior titles. Such things can impact the future fa faint more than we think and it bothers be too see this. Also please think about reasons YOU may be experiencing these network issues. Maybe something is there but as of now I've seen no others with this issue so please consider providing information about your connection method and quality if your going to eviscerate a game and rate it as a terrible nealy unplayable mess (something I think a two would and SHOULD generally indicate)....

    Also, you should be playing on a wired connection and using regional matchmaking like any decent upstanding citizen should when playing fast action or fighting games online.    … Expand

The other ones behind this one don't seem as fluid-like towards Maxiboost. Feel like when it comes to the balancing part and actually caring for a game that people enjoy. It definitely shows! Again. Like some people mentioned. There is a steep learning curve and I had to reteach myself since it's been quite a while, but once you get the hang of it. Just a matter of looking for a Gundam that suits you best and you're well on your way! One thing that I have to give the rating a 9 and not a solid 10. There's no tutorial mode in this game! Why?! Don't know, but the best way to get some work in. Do free battles, or work on some single-player battles. Understand the button layout and your Gundam you want to stick with. Other than that! Enjoy the game, guys! See you on the battlefield!… Expand

    Bad netcode with sudden cancels matches before begining and communication error when match starts. Green planet stuck screen, very badBad netcode with sudden cancels matches before begining and communication error when match starts. Green planet stuck screen, very bad matchmaking with too much difference skill level. Penalty for ragequit in rankes is lame, you only get -3sp(when losing match properly you lose 2-10) and 10 min bat if you ragequit. 2vs2 mode only also bad because this is just lazy port from arcade game, versus have 1vs1 and 3vs3 game modes.

    Mission mode just boring and have problems with balance.    … Expand
