Having just bought Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, I'm not really in the market for more Gundam stuff anytime soon.  Game looks interesting though.

@cfatalis: But why would you want something other than Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus (which comes out this month?)

How are you digging that? Would you recommend it to someone who doesn't normally buy Dynasty Warriors games?

" @John_Martone: didn't GVGN+ came out sometimes ago? i am sure it's not this month, i mean i have finished it with all  GVGN+ can only contain 4 MS at one time, while GAS can can contain 16 or more "mook" bots (you know those zaku, gm , and things) it has more roster(always a better thing), and more customization ( so in a sense you ace customed your mecha) "

Seems less Pew Pew... what I loved about GVG was how super fast paced and arcade-y feel. Plus, 16 on screens, if only 2 - 4 of them are players, doesn't sell me as much.

@John_Martone: 
 
this is more or less copied and pasted from a post I made on Giantbomb:

Having not played a game like this since Ninety Nine Nights 3 years ago, the whole experience is fresh(ish).  There are crazy numbers of robots onscreen at once, over the top anime-style special moves, and everything you could want from an anime-based dynasty warriors game.  What I was not expecting though, was the sheer amount of craziness they crammed into the game with mission mode.  The official mode is basically the original 3 series retold as missions for 4 characters, but mission mode is where the real bulk of the game is.  Excluding Gundam 00 and that weird chibi series, all gundam series are accounted for and interacting with each other in nearly 350 missions (.....yeah).  These aren't small missions either, they're full scale Dynasty Wars nonsense in which everyone fights against everyone in a crazy intricate and yet still nonsensical storyline.  
 
Point is, there are tons of characters, and tons of anime robots to pilot.  Hell you can even take out one of those small weak tanks with arms out into a battle (Zaku Tank for those of you who know what I'm talking about).  Will you ever want to?  HELL NO!  But you can.  I should probably say though that a big part of me liking this game is the fact that I love anime, and I've been known to love messed up crazy japanese games (Bullet Witch, fo life!) so if you have no patience for either of these things, then stay far far away.  I want to be clear here: this is not a technically great game.  You will find yourself failing missions because allies die or the timer runs out, or any number of bullshit stuff that's common for the Dynasty Warriors games.  What it does have though, is tons and tons of robots, and crazy, satisfying ways to kill them.  If that's what you're looking for, this game has your back.
 
As a little extra, the game staring giant robots fixes the classic Dynasty Warriors problem of all enemy minions looking the same.  Since they're robots, they're supposed to  and suddenly seeing armies of only 3 different robots seems awesome..

@Luffy: Hmm, good to know, thanks for the personal review. If I see it on the cheaps I'll have to pick it up.
