Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is, indeed, little more than an attempt to cash in on two popular Japanese video game franchises. However, that doesn't mean it's a lazy game developed just for the sake of developing a cash cow. Being a Dynasty Warriors game, it lacks any in-depth or complex game play, but that's the beauty of the franchise: it's supposed to be mindless fun, not some grand , epic game like Final Fantasy or Street Fighter. Koei's mindset has been, in my opinion, don't try to fix what isn't broken. Unlike all the other franchises that are simply utterly ruined when new mechanics are introduced, Dynasty Warriors keeps it simple. That said, this game is still for fans of one or, like in my case, both franchises. If you're not a Gundam otaku, you may be confused about who's who, what's what, and what exactly is going on. However, there's plenty of websites, anime, and whatnot to set that straight for you. But, since you bought a game with the Dynasty Warriors logo on it, chances are you didn't buy the game for its dynamic storyline or fantastic characters. You just move about and kill bunches and bunches of enemies in a matter of minutes, which is still fun, even if only in small dosages. And the game certainly looks a heckuva lot better than other games for the next generation consoles. Bottom line: it's a game whose aim is simply to provide mindless fun for fans of a foreign genre, and it achieves that easily enough. The amount of characters/mobile suits you can unlock, while being lacking for a Koei game, should still keep you going for a bit while longer. If you're a Dynasty Warriors or Gundam fan, you'll probably enjoy this title easily enough, and perhaps become a fan of the franchise you weren't before. If not, what makes you think this game will give you anything other Dynasty Warriors or Gundam games didn't? This is a game aimed at fans, not the average gamer.
