This Gundam is a variation of the MBF-M1 Astray Gundam from the tv show Gundam Seed. Originally the MBF-M1 Astray is quite a weak gundam in that it contains no phase-shift armour capabilities. Hence it was equivalent in terms to the ZAFT grunt Mobile Suits. However, after modifications by Lowe Guele of the Junk Guild, the Astray (now known as Astray Red Frame Lowe Custom) is significantly upgraded in terms of offense capabilities with the implementation of the Gerbera Straight katana. As such, this Gundam is perfect for close-range combat, but is a poor Mobile Suit in long-ranged combat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [C] The Game There are seven modes of play in this game. The main mode is, of course, Normal Mode. In Normal Mode, the player fights through a series of battles (which for the most part cohrelate to the sequence of battles in the storyline of the tv show Gundam Seed). Apart from Normal Mode, there are four additional one-player modes. In Survival Mode, the player continually fights against the computer opponents until the player's Gundam's Life Bar depletes. It should also be noted that for every successful win in this mode, the player gains a little bit of the Gundam's Life Bar back. Time Limit Mode and Time Trial Mode are two very similar modes. As the name of the modes suggest, the fights conducted are restrained by a time-limit. For Time Limit Mode, the player attempts to defeat as many opponent Gundams as possible within a specified time limit; in Time Trial Mode, the player defeats a series of tweleve gundams as fast as possible (i.e. it is timed). There is also one additional one-player mode: being the Training Mode, in which the player fights against a dummy computer to test out new moves or practice combos. Lastly, the single two-player mode in this game is VS Mode. As the name suggests, two players can play against each other via two Gameboy Advanced Systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [D] Mobile Suit Controls - General Controls (Automatic Mode) Button (Up) -> Jump Button (Down) -> Crouch Button (Back) -> Move Backwards and/or Defend Button (Forward) -> Move Forwards Button (R) -> Thrusters (Uses up Thruster Bar) Button (Forward) + (Forward) --> Thruster Forward (Does not use up Thruster Bar) Button (Back) + (Back) --> Thurster Backwards (Does not use up Thruster Bar) Button (Down) + (L) -> Enhanced Mode Button (Down) + (L) -> Use Special Combo Move (While in Enhanced Mode) - Specific Controls (Automatic Mode) [2] MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame Pilot: Lowe Guele Gundam: Red Frame Astray Gundam Model Number: MBF-P02 Comments: This Gundam is perfect for close-ranged attacks as all most all, with the exception of the CIWS, of its weapons are short-ranged armaments.
