 Gameplay was decent, Sound Quality was HORRIBLE. Jul 26, 2010
In a nutshell, buy the game NEW. And buy the game from someone who isn't GoHastings if you can't afford the return shipping fee.
Recently, I bought this game on a whim for a friend, seeing how he loved the Gundam franchise.
I got the game in the mail shortly after ordering it, which was impressive...but something doesn't seem quite right on the menu for the sound. My friend chalks it up to an "ambient feeling", but a quick search on YouTube showed that the choppy sounds were not the title screens music at all. Further problems is a higher chance of it freezing up than the other games I have...and it happens right when you LEAST need it to happen, since missions can be hard for beginning players. The menu also lags a little before getting into actual gameplay...and there is no custom playlist setting.
It could be a badly written disc out of the lot, or a well made copy...whatever the case...I couldn't play the game with music and character audio due to how choppy they were. Sound effects were perfectly fine, so it really played out to a strange, yet fitting feel to the battlefield with the gunfire and the mecha sounds when they went to attack. As a result, the voice acting and the music had no bearing on this game.
I was able to play some "Here Comes Char" for some good laughs when you can replay your missions once you've beaten the game campaign scenario for either Zeon or Earth Federation...missions that all take place on Earth. No space battles here for you Newtypes out there.
Unit customization falls into three categories (excluding pilot level): Unit Settings, Main Weapon, and Basic Stats.
-Unit settings are pretty generic terrain mobility boosting skins for the Mobile Suits and Armors, the only two being different are the original settings and the mandatory-for-tanking Heavy setting (which takes some booster thrust time and trades it in for defense).
-Main Weapons are obtained from upgrading your basic stats under the Weaponry option. They cater to the player's choice, ranging from the Kampfer's Shotgun to the infamous Beam Rifle to the Zaku Machine Gun. Every unit is set with the basic weaponry that would be considered canon for that unit (Gundams do not get shotguns, Guntanks do not get anymore than their starting equipment, etc.).
-Basic stats are about boost time for double jumps, attack, and defense. Weapons are, as mentioned above, considered a stat to upgrade.
Of course, none of this works to your advantage if your pilot level is low, since the units respond faster to a higher level pilot. Mobility, Accuracy, you know the drill.
I can't say anything for the storyline, since the audio was so choppy on my copy, it was left unaudible...but it seems like a "forgotten war heroes" sort of storyline, with you playing through the Earth-based missions. Story mode works like this, do a mission before the date reaches the completion date for points you trade in to repair, upgrade, or hire assistant pilots with. Repairs to the Mobile Suits/Armors takes time away from your missions, and pilot psyche also affects stats...it's easy to break apart, but it builds to a complex and sometimes frustrating system if you manage to take enough damage to put a unit out of commission for a while. Upgrades take a few days too to complete, but luckily, this is in-game time, which really just means giving up a few turns for missions.
Training missions are an exception though, as they do not damage units, and you still have the day to work off of after that mission.
Your partner AI on the first play through is going to be annoying until you hire some of the Zeon or Federation Aces...once you hire the aces, you'll be amazed how competent an AI partner can be.
And lest I forget in this review, limbs can be shot off, which makes this very useful in combat. Shoot off the right arm (either from upper or lower, shoulder pads do nothing to hinder movement) to disable the main gun, the head for vulcan cannons if they have them, or the left arm to get rid of the shield...but they can still attack with kicking (or chest vulcans if they have them), even if all three of these are missing.
In a nutshell, the game is not for casual gamers...nor is it really for someone outside of the fanbase if the game, as a whole in production, does indeed have all these problems I faced...but maybe you can work past it if you imagine it like you're playing through some of 8th MS Team.
It's a great addition to the series with some solid realism elements, but it's not for the easily frustrated.
Has Problems, But Doesn't Deserve All the Venom Jul 15, 2010
I love UC Gundam.
If you don't love UC Gundam you will HATE this game. It is that simple.
The Bad
This game was called one of the worst games on the PS3 at the system's launch, and in many ways it is. Its graphics are nothing to be proud of and the framerate is way slower than it should be. Its relatively short, the English voice acting is abysmal, and the game does nothing to help those not familiar with the source material. The A.I fluctuates between insanely frustrating, to near comatose. Enemies can shoot you from outside the battlefield , but will sometimes stand stoically as you hack them to bits with your melee weapons.
The selections of suits seems large, but you wont be using a great deal of them on either side. The storeis on both sides are also inane with very little in the way of real drama or importance Customization options are also pretty limited, and the lack of co-op is really inexcusable. At the end of the day this game just feels rushed, and that is easy to see when the same team produced the vastly superior Gundam Battle Record UC 0081 a couple of years later. Of course this only came out in Japan, but is playable on U.S PS3s thanks to the lack of a region lock.
The Good
The backgrounds might be lame, but the suits are very detailed down to the damage that they take and show. The suits move in a more authentic manner,and you can tell the disparity in suits from both sides very quickly. Previous games, and even the best gundam games, rarely took this into consideration. The game forces more strategic actions to achieve success, and this makes the combat a bit more fun that you might expect. The system for leveling up your character and building your own squad is also much appreciated.
Final Verdict
TV's X-Play called this game "shovel-ware of the highest order. This game doesn't deserve that title, but it didn't deserve to be a launch title either. They should have taken longer to develop it and released it when it was ready. It tanked in the US and Bandai Namco blames this on the American market not liking Gundam, but that isn't the case, they just don't like unfinished games. This game has great ideas, and mediocre execution of them.
If you know who Yu Kajima is or can't wait to pit a Gm Sniper II against a Dom, then pick this game up. Its probably only worth ten bucks but you can find it for that at many places. If you don't know what any of those things are then just steer clear of this game, it wasn't made for you.

 This game is pretty bad Mar 02, 2010
I bought the game on sale figuring it would be hard to go wrong for the price I was wrong about that. In the game you pilot a Mech much like the Mech Warrior franchise but the controls are extremely annoying and difficult to get used to. The layout of the controls isn't very intuitive at all and even after you struggle to adapt to it the game itself is still pretty blah. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (made by a different publisher) is a much better game than crossfire if you are really looking for a Gundam game.

An......ok Gundam game. Dec 29, 2009
Before purchasing this, I was aware of the horribly bad reviews about this game, but being the huge Gundam fan that I am, I decided to purchase it and give it a try. Unfourtunatly some of the thing s i've heard really ARE true!! The graphics look like absolute crap!! Looks like Gundam 0079 Side Story for the Sega Dreamcast. The only thing that kinda looks good on this game is the Mobile Suits. I must say though, the controls and movement of these models, kinda makes you feel like your really piloting the mobile suit, and I think the damage system was a pretty cool idea. The AI in the game isn't all that great either. There was one ocasion where an enemy mobile suit ran right past me then stood there, and let me shoot him up.....yeah. Overall Gundam Crossfire is far from a good game, but not a really really bad game.....just a bad game. If your a Gundam Fan like me, then i'd say go for it, give it a shot, but if your not, stay clear of this battle feild. 3/5.
