Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam takes place seven years after the end of the devastating One-Year War, with the Titans police force assuming dictatorial powers. As the A.E.U.G. rebel group struggles to defeat the Titans, the heroes and villains of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series find themselves on the same side of this new conflict. You can choose whether to play as a member of the A.E.U.G. or Titans, and strap yourself into one of 31 new mobile suits. Practice your maneuvering skills in single-player story mode or take on a friend in multiplayer battles.

this is actually such a terribly controlling game im shocked there are people who like it
É a mesma coisa praticamente do federation vs zeon só que agora tem todos os MS do Zeta Gundam e eu senti uma leve melhora na gameplay
Now here is a game that is unabashed in its love for the source material. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam features units, characters, and story concepts from the first three entries in the Universal Century timeline, with music from that wide range as well. The major features here are the arcade mode and the Universal Century mode, with the latter being a sort of campaign initially set during the Gryps Conflict that can be expanded further after making certain decisions during missions. The alternate routes are the real draw here, providing different scenarios like "what would happen if you saved Lalah" and "what if Lilia survived her encounter with Kamille".
My main problem with Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam is that the combat can be pretty frustrating. The lock-on system is NOT suited for taking on multiple opponents at once, as it prioritizes newly spawned enemies over anything else. Fighting three units at once and just killed one of them? Are you expecting the lock-on to switch to the target that's in front of you? No, it will switch to the enemy who's basically in the next solar system over, and now the unit who's beside you can get a whole combo's worth of hits on you! It's just a bad system that nearly invalidates the rest of the combat's merits, and those merits are real: beam weapons are lethal like in the shows, melee is a high risk proposition that is insanely rewarding, and the missions in space are an absolute blast when the lock-on problems don't rear their ugly head.
Despite feeling a bit lukewarm on it, I would still recommend this game to any Gundam fan. The stages are all very well done, and the presentation in general really sells the whole package.

This is the best Gundam game for the PS2 but at its core it's an arcade 3D fighting game. Scratched an itch due to its use of the anime's soundtrack, sound effects, and the singleplayer content focusing on alternative routes.
