TGS 2005: Gundam Seed: Federation vs. ZAFT Hands-On

TOKYO--The minute the doors opened on the second day (and the first day available to the public) of the Tokyo Game Show 2005, it seemed like everyone was making a beeline for one game. No, not that game, but Gundam Seed: Federation vs. ZAFT, which had lines wrapping around the Bandai booth faster than you can say the title. We got the opportunity to check it out, and we have to admit that it's shaping up to be a pretty fantastic-looking and fantastic-feeling Gundam game.

You may or may not be familiar with the formula of all games involving giant robots, or as purists would probably call them, mechs. You pick one of a number of customizable machines and the pilot to go inside it, and then proceed to romp around wide-open environments shooting and slashing at everyone you encounter. Truly, we've seen a lot of these games at TGS 2005, which seem to be the Japanese equivalent to first-person shooters in the US. Gundam Seed is about as good as it gets though, so if you're not sold on its sleek appearance and smooth handling, then giant robots are probably not for you.
