Video Game Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Assault
Customer Review: You Reap What You Sow
Summary: 3 Stars
In yet another move to cash in on "Gundam SEED," the last Gundam show to air on American TV, Bandai released a 2D fighting game for the Game Boy Advance. "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Battle Assault" is the third installment in the "Battle Assault" game series (and the first to feature robotic mecha from only one show). You start off choosing one of 12 Gundam mobile suits to fight with, 4 of which are unlockable. Of course you can access these and other goodies either by beating the game several times or entering cheat codes in the game's "Password" section. But without a save feature, get really to enter those codes over and over if you want to, say, select your favorite fighter.
Each fighting mech has its own assortment of special attacks (which are a pain to do with the GBA's controls), a "Berserker" mode (which raises the power of your attacks), and super attacks (which can only be performed in Berserker mode, once). Each mech also has "Phase Shift" armor that cushions the blows of projectile and physical attacks but not from beam attacks. Keep this in mind and you'll come up with the one strategy you need to beat the whole game. Because somebody finally realized the problem with playing fighting games on the GBA, you can set the controls from manual to automatic, the latter of which simplifies gameplay dramatically by reducing all attacks to a single direction on the D-pad and an attack button. You also have the option of increasing the strength of your fighter while lowering other attributes.
"SEED" also includes several game modes which are of standard fare in fighting games and don't offer anything memorable. Normal (Story) Mode, for example, simply rehashes the story from the TV series. So after beating the whole roster your character will either get an upgraded mech, disappear for no reason, or get killed by the robot you've just beaten seconds ago.
Of course, devoted Gundam fans are likely to hit the Net or a retail store to get this game despite what this review says. I, a devoted Gundam fan myself, had already sold my copy for pocket money.
This game is rated T for Teen: Violence, Adult Language.
