Robotech: Battlecry (PlayStation 2, 2002)

I am a Macross fan rather than robotech. However, since they are about the same story, I figure I'd give this game a try. The game itself is fairly repetitive. Most of the missions are the defend the convoy kind. I don't know why that's the case, probably makes the game a lot easier to design. AI aren't very impressive, most of the enemy either keep shooting at you or just concentrate on the target they are assigned to. Worst of all, the game will have clitches where the computer will repeat the same command over and over again. You will not recognize most of the characters most of the time. Heroes of the anime comes out every once in a while. With all the problems, I still think it's the best Robotech game out there. Each mode (fighter, gerwalk, battleroid) all has its own strength and weakness, and very much according to the movie. Control is better than the most I tried. If only TDK spend a little more time to develop the game, it will be a great game, but unfortunately they stopped before it was mature.

i love this game everything about it the shooting the modes its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the game holds true to most aspects of the show which was nice, graphics were decent, controls were easy to learn, and most of all it was just fun to play. Most disapointing part of the game was the story it was too short, definitly had lots of room for expansion as far as the story went. this was a game that any serious macross fan should play and own.

this product reminds me of my childhood, it's been 20 years since i pretended to be a fighter pilot in the robotech saga. Nothing wrong with a little regression every now and then...

The game, at first, follows closely to the Macross saga. Defending the Macross during the Zentradi invasion is amongst my favorite levels, however easy they may be. However, from there on, the game takes a turn into a fantasy story line. Many of the games attributes are great, however the AI could be a bit smarter. In some levels, however, its only possible to beat through pure luck (Cats Eye). Otherwise, its a solid buy, and a great game.

This is a fun game, exactly what the seller was selling. This turned out to be a great christmas gift for my nephew--he loves all kinds of games!

I really enjoyed this game. It was fun. Don't be disapointed by the slow start. It's easy to learn to operate and the graphics are nice.

This is a decent solid game for the PS2; however if your not a die-hard fan of Robotech your most likely not to fully enjoy this game. The graphics are reminiscent of the original TV series and look absolutely great right down the the laser beams, explosions, and smoke. The attention to detail is good, all fighter models are true to the series as are your enemies.

Gameplay leaves something to be desired. The controls are a little clunky especially in ger-walk (guardian) mode. You are not able to reposition the camera which would be a valuable asset to the playability of that mode. Fighter mode is pretty straight forward however I am disappointed at the inability to control your air-speed beyond fast and really fast. Battloid mode the very solid the controls take a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to decimate your enemies with ease.

The enemy AI is a little slow (in the head) Sometimes you'll find your enemies facing a wall and attempting to walk through it and not even notice that your shooting at them. Also any obstruction (wall, bridge, building, ships) that you duct behind will cause your enemy to stop chasing you...Not very Zentradei like.

If your a fan of this anime series/universe I'd say its a must have, and must play. However, if your not really into it, then your hard earned cash could probably be allocated better.

Overall Score:

Graphics: 9/10
Controls: 7/10
AI: 7/10
Sounds/Audio: 8/10
Mission Difficulty: 8/10 (on Normal setting)
Boss Difficulty: 9/10
Weapon Balance: 7/10

Average: a Good Solid 8/10

I got the item in good condition and the delivery was really quick
the item was well wrapped and protected

I'm happy with my purchase

The game is good period. Definitely the best characteristic of the game is that it lets you get inside a varitech, and that is more than enough for fans of the series like me. The graphics are good, movility is also ok, gameplay can be a bit repetitive but again for those who like robotech/macross it is bearable. I bought it because i definitely love robotech/macross. Don't let me fool you the game while not the best videogame ever is still fun to play for average shooter fans, just remember it is mostly for robotech fans.

Loved the cartoon. Liked this game. Fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy shooting down handfuls of Zentraedi battle pods, fighter pods, and power-armor-clad warriors at a time.

This game is easy to learn and fun to play. A little repetitive, but what game isn't. The voice work is awesome.
