Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs is the 3D Arcade-Fighting game for PS3, which developed, and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Gundam NEXT.
This game is only came out in Japan as the Japanese exclusive PS3 games, but the PS3 is still region free console, so you could play any region games on your PS3 system.
So what do I think about this game? is it the amazing Gundam game on PS3? Yes it is. This is the Gundam game that I've wanted to play it.
This game features 31 playable suit units, arcade mode with 8 difficulty matches, free battle mode with local mulitiplayer matches, online battle mode, trial mission with loads more mission levels, and briefing room to use custom mp3 music, player's profiles, and etc.
The gameplay plays very good for 3D arcade-fighting games. It's very similar to one of the SEGA's arcade game called "Cyber-Troopers Virtual On", but with even better gameplay mechanics. The purpose of the gameplay is to fight your opponent to take down their remaining team's cost. Your team's cost bar contains 6 samples, so if your health points reaches zero then it's drains your team's cost samples, depending what characters you're playing as. If the team's cost bar have nothing left then the players wins the match.
I say the rule of the game is sounds pretty good, because it's giving the game more enjoyable to play.
The controls has very straight forward character's movements, while the lock on systems is continuing stays on the enemies, which gives you a easy way to attack them and dodge away from the opponment. You can change the lock ons to the different enemies, if the enemies is attacking you from behind, when the yellow colored alert icon appeared on the screen. The combat gameplay has great melee attack with good hit detection, and feels more balanced and responsive. The main weapon attack is doing pretty good, when the targeting turns red meaning it's giving you a responsive attacks, but the weapons sometimes runs out, which you have to wait until the weapons is properly charged up automatically, which is not taking too long. It does have the great special melee attacks and weapons, which works very well, but you can activate EX boost power to have a more damaging attacks on the opponments. Your player's can able to use dashing moves and fly around the stages, which sounds pretty cool on the game. The game is also compatible with wireless or USB arcade stick, if you have one for your PS3.
The graphics have some decent visuals effects, some good characters models, great level designing with properly well done stages and backgrounds, and awesome looking animation with good environment of cutscenes and whole game with colored details for modern arcade game.
The music and sound has the theme music "The Catalyst" made by Linkin Park, which is the same song that also featured on the trailer of the 2010 game "Medal of Honor". So I prefer listening the 2 of the good old Linkin Park albums in olden days. It does have some Japanese music from the Gundam anime series, which sounds pretty cool. The good thing about the game is you can edit the BGM from the briefing room, which allows you to choose any custom MP3 music in the game. The sound effects is just like the anime series itself. It gives better sound background and some atmospheres to make it sounds cool. The voice acting speaks in Japanese for every characters from the Gundam series sounds very original for the game, but it's harder for US and European gamers to understand them, is due to lack of english subtitles.
The special features has downloadable content and trophies achievements.
