| Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire/target in sight could've been an easy 11/10 if they didn't rush it, which is why this game is known for its terrible performance on the original PS3 consoles.
Graphics: 4 The Suits themselves actually look incredible but the terrain and the locations are severely lacking in detail, variety and graphic quality. It certainly doesn't ruin the game's visuals entirely as I think that the empty locations do somewhat fit the vibe of a post-apocalyptic type setting, but sometimes it feels too dull and boring. Sound: 7 The sound design isn't anything too special, but it's good. The sounds make me feel as if I'm actually fighting and using these big clunky mobile suits. I did also like a couple of the songs that were playing in the background. Gameplay: 8 The gameplay is alright, it does vary from time to time. You get different objectives like protecting your allies, defending an area and more. The mobile suits are also pretty slow and sometimes even annoying to use if you aren't familiar with the game, but I take it as a good thing as I don't like these fast paced mecha games where the suits just fly around the entire map. The slowness and clunkyness of the mobile suits makes the game feel more realistic and strategic because you won't be able to escape that easy once you're engaged in a fight. The upgrade system pairs super well with date system. It forces you to actually think about your next moves because the amount of days you can spend is limited. Maybe you should upgrade a certain suit or repair it or maybe even buy a whole new suit as well as a pilot who will be your new support. The upgrades, repairs and orders also take time to come to you, so you should always have a backup in your back pocket in case your suit is in a critical state (the damage you took during a mission saves for the next ones, and more damage = longer repair time). Overall: 8 While objectively the game has tons of mistakes and issues that would not let the game be an 8/10 for most people. I still had so much fun playing this game (maybe I was also a little blinded by nostalgia haha) I also love myself some mecha games with realistic graphic so this one is certainly getting some extra points for it. As I said before, this game had tons of potential and the developers simply missed out on it because they wanted to release this game as fast as possible. A solid 8.5/10 and I will never stop hoping for a new Gundam game like this one. |
