If you've seen the anime series or the movie version, then the story of this game will be familure to you. If not then I hope you read Japanese! Don't worry if you don't though, because I'll give a general outline of what's going on in the walkthrough. You play the role of Amuro Ray, then Gundam's pilot and the main character of the anime series. Much of this game is reading through scenes from the anime. But in the game's levels you move that Gundam around on a map and attack enemies like you would in a real time strategy RPG. Because the controls change throughout the game I present them as they become available. So lets get started! ============================================================================== Walkthrough ============================================================================== The game starts with a scene with Fraw Bow and Amuro. Press "A" to go through the messages and then press "A" to choose one of the yellow options. After the Zaku II (Big green robot) gives a show of it's destructive power, keep pressing "A" to scroll through a scene of Amuro finding a manuel about Gundam and the V-Project and then a scene of Bright and the White Base (Big red white and blue space ship) crew. After a scene where Amuro disobeys his father's order to go to the White Base, Amuro gets into the Gundam (Big red white and blue robot..... you know what a "Gundam" is.) and tries to fight off the Zaku II's!!! ============================================================================== Stage 1: Gundam Rising ============================================================================== After a scene of the Gundam standing up press "A" until Amuro is done talking to himself. Now can control the Gundam for tha first time! ***************** *Gundam Controls* ***************** The Blue arrow on the map represents the Gundam you are controlling. The white lines in front of it is the direction you are facing and is your area of sight. Press "Left" or "Right" on the "X" directional pad to change the direction you are facing. Press "Up" on the "X" directional pad to move Gundam forward. Presss "Down" on the "X" directional pad to make Gundam step backwards. When the is an enemy in your line of sight (White lines) it will appear as a dot with arrows pointing at it. Press "A" to attack a sighted enemy. When attacking choose the left green option to attack with the Gundam's range weapons such as vulcan guns or the right option to attack with the Gundam's melee weapons such as ramming with your shield. Once Amuro learns how to use the Gundam's Beam Saber then this will be the fist blue option that apears in the melee attacks, but at first "shield ram" is the only one. Press "A" again when the blue option shows up to starts the attack, or press "B" to go back and select the other attack. When you attack it will show the animation of you attack and then the results of you attack. Then the enemy will attack and you will see it's attack animation and the results of it's attack. On the map screen there is meter next to Amuro's face that shows the Gundam's heat. It goes down after you attack and as you move. When it reaches the red zone you won't be able to attack or move again until it rises back into the green. ********************** *Back To Walk Through* ********************** Move around the map and get used to the controls. Attack either of the Zaku II's with either attack you like (Vulcans seem to be better) over and over until Amuro's dad pops up. Now Amuro learns how to use the Gundam's Beam Saber! Attack one of the Zaku II enemies and now use your beam saber! Beam saber is right green option (melee) then left most blue option! After a couple attacks from the beam saber the Zaku II should be beaten! Now Amuro finishes off the second one on his own! Now press "A" as you watch a scene of Char (Guy with a Samurai mask) talking to Dozel (Guy with a scar on his chin). You've now cleared the first stage! Press "A" to watch through a scene of Bright finding out that Amuro is piloting the Gundam and then the first save point pops up! Choose the top option and press "A" to save your game. To return to your saved game after turning it off just choose "Continue" on the start screen. ============================================================================== Satge 2: Destroy Gundam! ============================================================================== When the white message that says "0/10" pops up press "A", then choose the left option and press "A" again to go on. If you press down on the first white message and then choose the left one you can re-play the first stage again instead. Keep pressing "A" to watch through a sceen of Amuro in the Gundam talking to Fraw Bow (Brown haired girl in pink outfit). Now Amuro finds Sayla confronting Char. Choose one of the yellow options. After Amuro chases Char and his men out into space keep pressing "A" when the white and green targets overlap in front of the missels to make Amuro shoot down the Missles. Keep doing this until the White Base takes off. After a short scene you get control of the Gundam again and must fight off enemies in space! The controls are the same as in the last level, but now you can use the Gundam's beam rifle by choosing the right most option in the range weapons! Attack the mobile suit in front of you, which is Char with either the beam rifle or the beam saber. After each attack wait for you heat to recover and then attack him again. If Char attacks you while your heat is high use you vulcans against him. Char may dodge some of you attacks but keep at him! After a few good hits from the beam saber or rifle and some vulcans his HP will he will leave. Now just attack the Zaku II the same way you did Char and you'll soon defeat it! After a short scene of Amuro returning to the White Base you've cleared the second stage! Another save point pops up so save your game! When the white option that says "0/6" pops up press "A" and choose the left option to go on to the next stage! =============================================================================== Stage 3: Vote To Attack! =============================================================================== Conitinue pressing "A" to watch the White Base crew argue over what to do now. When Amuro joins in choose one of the yellow options and then watch as the White Base crew prepares to take to offensive against the Zeons. When you enter the battle map move forward on the same direction the core fighter on your team is. You'll soon run into Char so attack him. In this stage you have the Bazooka instead of the beam rifle but you can select to use it in the same option that the beam rifle was. Attack Char with the Bazooka because it seems to have a better chance of hitting him then your beam saber. Attack Char until you can't find him on the map, then move to the 2 Zeon ships and attack the Papua because it has less armor. Soon you will start to see scenes of the White Base and the Zeon Musai shooting at each other. Once you've destroyed the Papua ship a Zaku I ememy appears and attacks Amuro, but Amuro fights it on his own (you don't control Gundam). After the battle watch the scene of Bright talking to Amuro and then you've cleared stage 3! Make sure to save your game!
