It is a "Just OK game"
This game was kind of like the Episode 1 of Star Wars. You expected a GREAT product and didn't get it. The end result of all the hype fell well short of expectations. The game play is actually pretty horrible, very repetitive and sometimes quite annoying. The graphics however are VERY well done in the original style. It does however look rushed. The models used are not polished by any means. I did buy it, and I would buy it again. But, only because I am a HUGE Macross/Robotech fan. As far as replay goes, I finished the game and have not opened the box since. I had more fun with the last segment of the Ace Combat Series for PS2. I do reccomend it for Macross/Robotech fans looking for something to bring back the memories of the original series (I remember when it aired on TV =) But, I am really disapointed overall. The game changed very little from whay TDK showed at E3 prior to the debut and has a VERY rushed out the door feeling.
