Each faction that you can choose to take sides with has their own types and models of mobile suits, each with their own specific specialty and purpose. The two rival factions described in the game are the E.F.F (Earth Federation Forces) and the Principality of Zeon. Dynamic game play allows you to take sides with either faction. Gameplay
Powered by the PlayStation 3, Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire throws you into the midst of futuristic war zones brought to life in ultra realistic graphics. Form your own mobile assault force, strategize their next moves and battle with them side by side while you command them to triumph. The basic game objective is easy; blast through futuristic tanks and enemy structures, military aircraft, and rival mobile suits. The rival mobile suites form the bulk of the incoming opponents. You can see them moving on the horizon at the start of a mission, or you can spot their locations on your radar at the bottom of the screen. One of the advanced aspects featured in Crossfire is the ability to inflict location-specific damage. You can fine-tune your aim to destroy specific parts of a single enemy unit. For example, if you want to disable a rival suit's laser sword, all you need to do is aim for his laser and shoot. The same goes for the feet, head and legs. Likewise, if you destroy a mobile suit's head, it will disable its ability to see. Each mission starts with a short briefing, complete with maps and satellite imagery. When you're ready to play, choose which side of the war you want to join, and then play master to your mobile suits, and guide the ultimate weapons of war to victory.

Summary: I would give it an 3.5 If I could. But 4 will have to do. 2008-11-16
Comment: The game overall, is average.
The story, is pretty watered down, it's nowhere as good as Feds. Vs. Zeon was for the PS2.
Obviously it was rushed, I just wish Bandai would have released a freaking patch to fix the Frame Rate issues.
Graphics : 3/5 The Mobile suits look great, but the areas look really bland. There aren't many effects in the game other than the actual MS's blowing up, and bullets/beams flying around. Sometimes there are serious frame rate issues, it's like playing on a cpu with low Specs.
Sound : 4/5 Like other Gundam games the soundtrack has a nice feel to it, and nicely sets the moods. Only thing bad about the soundtrack is that when you enter a mission and recieve your briefing, the music is too loud, and can overide the voicing. Voice acting in the game is pretty lousy.
Gameplay : 4/5 Overall it's a pretty fun game, just too many cut corners. That could have been fixed if they would have taken a little more time to make it the right way.
Replay Value : 4/5 It depends on how much you like the Gundam franchise really, I play it over-and-over because I love the 0079-0083 Gundam Series.

Summary: Decent 2008-06-09
Comment: I am a Gundam fan, ive watched the shows and love the games, my favorite being federation vs. zeon. I would reccomend this game to mostly just a gundam fan because this particular title doesnt offer much to bring in someone to the band wagon. Overall the graphics are very nice, attention to detail is the best so far for the gundam series, however there is a framerate problem. At times it can seems like the framerate gets choppy, but it clears up really quickly. Gundam vs. Zeta had it even worse when it came to frame rate. As for replay value its definately there, i dont see why other gamer sites rated it so low, i actually enjoyed getting more pilots under my command, and buying more and more gundams to serve in my army. Great game.

Summary: Great game but feels unfinished 2007-12-28
Comment: I will preface this review with the caveat that I am a big Universal Century Gundam fan, which accounts for much of my enjoyment with this game.
Graphically: As others have said, this is not the most spectacular looking PS3 game out there. The interactive environments help to make this feel less like a PS2 game but the overall appearance of the terrain is a little last generation. The mobile suit and mecha models are amazing though! The problem is, there is no model viewer, a standard in most Gundam games, so you can't take your time and really enjoy the various models.
Gameplay: This game is ridiculously hard at points, if you are trying to do things carefully or use team tactics. You pretty much have to throw tactics to the wind and charge in madly, to hit objectives before you're MS is torn apart, ignoring the enemy Mobile suits that are murdering your wingman and shooting you full of holes. The more realistic speeds are hard to get used to since everything moves so fast these days, but I don't necessarily feel this was a bad thing to do. You certainly feel like you are moving about in something massive. I also liked the regional damage, where you can have arms, legs and head damaged or shot off. It's very satisfying to complete a mission when you are missing weapons, limbs and a head! The targeting system can get annoying though, especially since the enemy can target you long before you can target them. It's not perfect, but the controls are functional, and once you get used to the speed and tactics of the fighting, you can definitely finish a campaign on normal mode in a few nights.
Music: Contrary to reviews I have seen elsewhere, I think the music is really outstanding in this game. It features full orchestra, and all new compositions (not just the classic Gundam music that gets recycled in every U.C. Gundam game.) It has a big, epic sound to it, and I enjoyed it so much I ordered the CD soundtrack from Japan.
Customization: You can customize your mobile suits, which is a nice touch, especially when you change the various types (Desert, Heavy etc.) For Gundam fans it's a neat way to see the various pilot and variant paint schemes/designs. You can also get better pilots for your wingman, but here again they seem to have skimped and you only get names, without even a portrait to identify them. Unless you are a hardcore UC fan, you won't recognize a lot of these people so they won't have the significance that they should.
Story: There isn't much of one at all. The missions are pretty generic (capture this base, now defend it, shoot down this transport, etc.), and contrary to the cover's claims, you don't have any effect on the overall war. The Feddies still win, no matter how well you do as Zeon, and all the major events play out just as they did in the series. I was also shocked that there was no high quality intro movie. There is even a little animation on you PS3 menu that plays a clip from a high quality rendered movie, but it's not on the game itself!
Summery: It's a good game, but it feels like it was rushed in development. Parts of it, like the music, and mobile suit models are amazing, and other parts, like the terrain, co-pilots, and game play don't feel finished. Some of it (like cut scenes or more in-depth story) isn't there at all. It's still worth picking up if you love Gundam, and understand what you are getting, but it will no doubt disappoint most console players.
