Especially with the new Gundam and Mobile Armour additions. Don’t get me wrong, the updated line-up is fantastic. Four games into the series with that lack of aesthetics is sad to see, I was expecting more from this front.Īnother problem that I have with the game is the roster of characters and mobile suits. It would be great to have walls that can open up shortcuts to enemy areas, rocks or buildings that will get damaged and destroyed as you fight and even holes or cracks left in the ground when an enemy gets slammed. ![]() It is a shame however that there is not that much in the way of world destruction apart from a few small structures which are barely noticeable. More free flowing areas are complimented by an assortment of fancy laser fireworks, huge explosions and outrageous levels of destruction. The game seems smoother and more colourful than ever before. These two little enhancements go a long way to make iconic suits work as they do in the anime. Doing this will either turn your suit into flight mode allowing you to travel around faster or to switch out your equipped weapon for different combos. On top of this, transformable mobile suits can now be fully utilised by double tapping the X button. If you successfully kill an enemy with this their mobile suit explodes starting a chain reaction of explosions, scoring you more K.Os. This can be handy in some cases, especially when you are facing a single enemy ace. ![]() This can be fired at anytime during a combo which can effectively cancel it out. Now in the middle of a combo you can hold down the triangle button to set up a charge shot. With the basic game modes covered, how is the gameplay this time around? Keeping to the Dynasty Warriors combat system, each suit can use basic melee and ranged attacks to string together combos to annihilate a huge amount of enemies at once. This can help you get through tough missions or allow you to simply help other players out. You can also assist someone online with an SOS call of their own simply by going through the menu. As an added bonus, players will also be able to call in an SOS during their scenarios to ask for help from someone online. It also allows you to unlock the remaining characters and mobile suits that you did not receive after completing Official Mode. The mode is great as it allows you to play as your favourite pilots and suits. This is the game mode that players should dabble into first if they have not played either a Dynasty Warriors or Dynasty Warriors Gundam game before as the first scenario is a tutorial of basic mechanics. You can go back and replay every mission, as well as the missions that were restricted due to choice, in Select Area mode. ![]() Throughout the scenario you can then come to branching paths that will have you chose one mission over another to decide how the story goes. These objectives can be anything from completing a mission as a particular suit, defeating a certain amount of enemies or completing the mission on a particular difficulty. These scenarios are then split into missions which come with their own set of restrictions and objectives. Here you play in a variety of scenarios featuring a mixture of different mobile suits and characters from throughout all the series. Ultimate Mode plays completely differently. Then you can include some of the lesser known series or more of the iconic series such as Gundam Wing, Gundam F91 and G Fighter Gundam. It would have been very interesting to see more become available as unlocks. I was however disappointed that the mode was restricted to these scenarios. Gundam Seed & Seed Destiny is also great to see on the line up. It is great to see the first four scenarios as they all tie in with one another in chronological order. This time we are able to play through Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. Official by name, Official by nature as this mode is a true representation of some of the more iconic series in the Gundam franchise. Let’s cover these modes one at a time, starting with Official Mode. The other is called Ultimate Mode that plays out scenarios involving a mix of different characters and suits from all the series. First off is Official Mode that allows you to play through some of the most iconic scenarios in the Gundam TV series. This time around there are two main single player game modes. The game brings to the table a lot of new content along with the old but is it enough to satisfy our hunger? There is only one way to find out. Not just do we get an updated roster of mobile suits and pilots, we also have updated partners, movesets and even the chance to pilot one of the mobile armours. ![]() Gundam Reborn introduces a lot more this time around from the predecessors. The fourth iteration in the Dynasty Warriors Gundam series has arrived on the PS3.
