Step into the giant, mechanized suit of the Gundam. There, across battlefields of a war-beaten Earth, you'll command your forces against units of the Zeon army. You'll need to master every move in your suit--and weapon in your arsenal--to outflank the Zeon and complete each mission. And although you've got armored vehicles and ant-sized infantry on your side, the battle will be lost or won by your ability to jump, hover, and fly into battle while zooming in your weapons on the enemy. A cross between first-person shooter and strategy game, Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From the Ashes comes from a series that originated on the Sega Saturn. This title features such enhancements as detailed 3-D mobile suits, cinematic interstitial scenes, a dramatic soundtrack, and actual sound effects from the anime TV series, Gundam Wing.

Why isn't there more Gundam games that let you play from the cockpit POV?? This game was wicked. Made playing a jobber strike force of GMs interesting, and it actually felt like you were piloting a giant metal machine. Unfortunately the game is very short and the craziest thing you get to fight is a GOUF. Get the Japanese version with the bonus disc that lets you fight against Amuro and the white base crew for an actual challenge.

It was alright, I liked how you played in the first person and how clunky the controls are and such. The biggest crime here is that you don't get to play as any of the iconic Mobile Suits like the RX-78 or a Zaku, instead you play as the RGM-79 or 80.
