Gundam Seed: Rengou vs Z.A.F.T Portable

Gundam warriors throttle onto the battlefield once again with Striker / Wizard Packs in tow which enhance a suit of armor such as the Mobile Suit GAT-X105 Strike with additional weaponry and other offensive options such as increased mobility.

Gundam Seed: Rengou vs Z.A.F.T. was originally released in 2005 for the Japanese coin-op market and a PS2 conversion followed up in November of that same year. The PSP version of the game features new game modes and additional mechs such as the ZGMF-X565/Gamma Blast Impulse Gundam, MBF-02 Strike Rouge Gundam, GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam, and many others for a total of 50 mechs that are playable in the Arcade Mode. As in previous Gundam games, the action runs hot with Gundam mechs jump-jetting, slashing, and firing ordnance in fast-paced missions. When an enemy mech or a group of mechs ramble up close, expert handlers will be able to perform rapid slash clashes and run 'n gun attacks for exciting and occasionally frustrating battles.

New to the home versions of Rengou vs Z.A.F.T. is an enhanced dash move called a "Boost Dash" which eats up the Boost Gauge but is extremely useful for close range attacks and quick exits. Mechs can also jump-jet upwards and then continue thrusting the boosters for a short period of sustained flight. Battles take place on the ground, in the air, and in outer space for a variety of scenarios to tackle. The PSP version of the game also features a multiplayer Arcade Mode where up to four gamers may link up in the Cooperate Lobby for cooperative play. «more»
