Pretty much the platonic ideal of a licensed anime game. It's got a new story set in the UC timeline which is elevated by knowledge of the source material, it's got a structure that makes it feel in line with an anime (I'm a sucker for the OPs and EDs in games), and it's not an arena fighter. I'm not sure I 100% loved the tone and all the Zeon apologism, but what was here was pretty damn solid.
