Robo-TRASH: “Make YOU Cry” if you buy it! by E. Young
Avoid this dog-pile… Look, lots of people like lots of different things. I HATE THIS GAME. I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. The graphics are crappy, the game play is utterly repetitive. Did these jokers spend any time designing this product? You will need to be a real die-hard fan type of person to enjoy this more than a few minutes. You cannot turn into the flying mode at will. That sucks. And the graphics look like a kid’s coloring book. Get yourself a used copy of “Mechassault” or even “Battle Engine Aquila” & you’ll be better off.
An awesome game for fans of Robotech!!! by Drew D. Liles
If you’ve never heard of Robotech, this game will seem average at best. You’ll be intrigued by the whole transformations thing, but you won’t get it. You won’t be amazed by the music or the new planes or the abilities of each new veritech, and you definintely won’t get the paint schemes. Overall, you’ll be like… decent plot, okay graphics, and okay gameplay. You just won’t understand.
But…
If you are a robotech fan, this is a must have! Though you do not follow the Macross Saga timeline, they allow you to follow it enough to get you attached and then go off on a believable and interesting story. It does help account for the many Zentradi that survived the battle, since you fight so many in the game. The ability to switch modes on command is amazing. The cut scenes are not the best and some of the machinema, just plain sucks, but it doesn’t matter, it’s robotech. Every vertitech is in the game, and sometimes, you’ll get surprised with a new one you didn’t think was coming. All the paint schemes are there, from Rick’s to Max’s, to the infamous SKULL ONE!!! The Boss battles, seem like they would be monotonous, since there is a pattern to beating the enemy, but for some reason, it’s more of an adrenaline rush. Everything about this game is fun… except the protection missions. These get old FAST. I viewed them as a challenege, but it really kinda sucks, protecting something that cannot protect itself. Multiplayer is also lacking in this game. There is only one on one, which can get boring pretty fast. And a flight ceiling in some levels sucks, but makes sense for the point of the level. With such a low flight ceiling, you’d be surprised by how big the space missions are. You can literally fly anywhere, practically. The graphics are perfect for the game, as it emulated the animation from the series. The music is good, and although the sound effects are repetative, they are the same sound from the series, so it works for a fan. You will love launching salvo after salvo of missles and targetting five guys at once and unleashing your payload. They created a realistic balance between the three different modes, giving each its own individual strength. The main point of the game is to play through and beat it, but striving for the different medals and promotions adds a new level of gameplay and causes you to increase your skill and proficiency in new and old areas.
For the Robotech fan, this game is a must. It has all that you could ever want in a robotech game, minus the better multiplayer.
I own it and love it.
this game is crazy awesome by Deunan Knute
This game is crazy. Its one of the best games ive ever played. The only problems are the missions are severley repetetive and u cant fly very high, but other than that its awesome. Although there never is a mission where u have enough room to do maneuvers like firing a salvo of missiles and then changing into battloid mode to realy fight, or do some coolio spin move then fire some missiles and then fly upward and straight down again. But this game is 10x better than that ripoff Robotech Invasion.But its still one of the best games ever. (Xbox version is best).
RoboTech - BattleCry…….I get it! by
The RDF (RoboTech Defense Force) has A-LOT of confidence in their Veritechs. Basically each level is done single handedly by you with one Veritech (There is minor support but insignificant as it really doesn’t seem to make or break an outcome). Sometimes this soloing seems reasonable and other times just absurd. I recall the level “Cat Scan” were you’re supposed to escort a recon unit doing her rounds amoungst 20,30…Zentradi. So it’s basically you and a recon unit with minor defensive weapons VS a small army. When you fail the mission (and you will fail it, unless you happen on the “trick” right away) the game barks at you “What were you thinking”, or something along those lines. It didn’t take long for me to think “What was the RDF thinking putting only one Veritech out?”, or at least “What were the programmers thinking when they assembled this level?”
That being said if you can get past the “One Man Army Syndrome” the game is pretty fun eventhough you have a very limited “arena” to play in. It has alot of neat visuals, good music (based on, but not the original North American Macross Series, and that is really too bad!) and good control(X-box)(once you get used to it!). One more thing, with the gameplay, music and cell-shading combined it began to feel like the cartoon after a while.
