This was am excellent game to get me into Universal Century Gundam and make me take the plunge into the anime. Just about every character from that canon you want is in here, and every single mobile suit and piece of technology on top of that. A long haul, but one I feel was well worth the 1000+ hours I put into it.
This game is so long
Just your usual G Generation games but follows the UC timeline from the first show up to Unicorn with a bonus extra level.
The plot is based on shows and previous games in the UC timeline of the Gundam series so it follows the show's/game's original plot although thinned down with G Generation characters and MS shoehorned in. A good way to know the summary of the other games and shows if you are after the storyline. Other AU suits and characters are available as DLC or in some cases, end game unlockable.
Gameplay is similar to your typical turn based tactics game. Older era MS suits won't hold up to newer era suits (MS from ZZ will be better than those in OG Gundam). However, leveling up the suits allows you to evolve it (Zaku I can evolve to Zaku II, etc) with higher levels allowing a stronger variant. If you managed to level up suits early in game then the game will be pretty much a breeze especially if you get the Neo Zeong.
If you enjoy reading information about the MS, ships, pilots or the related series then the gallery will be a treat as the gallery will give you information about the above units once unlocked.
Completion is pain. If you plan on getting the platinum trophy, be prepared to grind the bonus Haro levels.

Great if you love the Gundam shows it encompasses. Hard pass otherwise. Late game is a grind.
