THE GOOD:Improvements from the old version:
-nicely detailed combat animations
-more pilots from MSV and the infamous zeon ace corps
-more user friendly map
-nicely implemented command points to plan invasions
-extra suits and some new designs (The all new gyan krieger, and high mobility "stuffs" anyone?)
-free scenario mode (create your own faction)
THE BAD:
-they got rid of some pilots (Nimbus Schterzen is one of them)
-less mobile suits (some msv designs didn't make it)
-the plot for winning the zeon scenario is a little different (in-consistency?)
-only spans up to one year war (unlike the old one)
SUMMARY:
General idea
This game is really challenging in normal mode and pretty much you have to manage all aspects of the factions (R&D, fleet management, and yes you have to deal with your citizens who wants peace or your troops will stop moving...
