(Warning: As I'm a Gundam fan since First Gundam (I
first watched First Gundam about one year after it was first
aired in Japan), I use the old and possibly political
incorrect spelling of "Zion" (pronounced as "jee-orn"),
instead of the current "Zeon". Sieg Zion!)
2.1 1ST IMPRESSION
This game isn't Gundam Battle Online (GBO), which is
another Dreamcast game.
Also, this game isn't Kidou Senshi Gundam (Journey to
Jaburo) or Zeonic Front: Kidou Senshi Gundam 0079, which are
other PlayStation 2 games.
2.2 2ND IMPRESSION
In an one-player game, when the player's piloting a
Gundam, the CPU (computer-controlled) friendly MS can also
be a Gundam. Likewise, when the player's piloting a Char MS,
the CPU friendly MS can also be a Char MS.
In a two-VS-one or a two-VS-two game, to try to confuse the
hostile player(s), the two players on one side can choose
the same MS and input the same pilot name.
The MSs that appear in the CG animation before a stage
can be inconsistent. I once saw, in the CG animation before
a battle in the Jaburo Aboveground stage, a normal Gelgoog
standing beside the player's Char Gelgoog before the
player's MS steps out of the Gau's hangar. When the battle
begins, the CPU MS wasn't a normal Gelgoog.
When a MS is jumping or hovering, a fighter may crash
into the MS. I once saw, in the Jaburo Aboveground stage, a
Dopp crashed into a Gundam, but the Gundam wasn't staggered
or knocked down. The Dopp was worth a few points only.
From Wavehawk (2002.02.16):
Apparently, if you pick Amuro and your opponent is Char (in a 1 vs 1
game), everytime Amuro targets Char's MS, you can hear him say "Char!"... I
don't think this happens if you pick Amuro and go into a regular story game
though.
From Leper Man (2002.06.08):
- In single player, enemy MS cost 75% normal.
- In a cooperative game, enemy MS cost 60% normal.
- Ally CPU MS cost 50% normal.
- Type 61 MBT (Federation tanks) and Magella Attack MBT
(Zion) have a rumored cost of about 1. (Still not sure,
can't confirm if it can really can change the outcome of the
game.) Still haven't tried it it though; some say it cost 5.
- Byg Zam and Elmeth cost 375 in single player and cost
225 in coop. Byg Zam has an I Field.
- Bygro and Graw Brow cost 150 in single player; in
coop it cost 120.
- Grabro costs 150 in single player and 120 in coop.
- Azzam costs 150 in single player and 120 in coop.
- G Fighter costs about 150, in coop 120, but if your
ally is a G Fighter, it cost only 75 if destroyed.
- Destroying ship guns/aircraft will not affect the
game resource bar.
- Core Booster appears at solomon stage and fires the
same weapon as the G Fighter (but only passes the stage in
one sweep).
- You can ride the Midea transport and not fall off!!!
So much fun!!!
- Land GM can now pair up with the Guncannon, with the
Land GM killed 2 times and GC die once. The best combo IMO.
From Zaku Pilot (2002.09.14):
Just wanted to let you know the Gyan's shield can be
blown away. I found out the hard way in one of the last
levels on Earth where you can fight as the Byg Zam when you
die.
[Ramble ON]
After 9/11, now it's chilling to see the buildings in
this game vertically collapse.
The Federation pilots' insigniae:
Taisa (Colonel): Light blue background, two
horizontal yellow stripes, three yellow diamonds.
Chuusa (Lieutenant Colonel): Light blue background,

uses the rank titles of the post-WWII
