I have played practically every robot game that has come out this season and can now die a happy man. But' what's this? Another mech game that slipped in under my radar and scores a significant hit. Not wanting to be left in the dust, the Game Boy Advance gets a decent transforming robot game that may be just a bit too hard for its own good. Robotech: Macross Saga features clean graphics with fairly comfortable controls.
Players can pick one of five initial pilot characters and try to run the gamut of mech action. The pleasant surprise is that each pilot has very distinct attributes and if you complete the game as one character, it will unlock one of the several hidden characters that the game features.

The Masters , Episode Maybe it was the fact that the game makers recruited the original voice actors, or the eye-popping graphics or the whole idea that I was storming around the city blowing up everything.
This game is just cool'a definite must have for fans of the original series and even gamers who love a good action title. Other's who don't like anime' or mech games will surely take a pass. The very least you could do is rent it. Robo-what now? The average PlayStation-generation gamer may not remember this classic cartoon series, but trust us, it's awesome.
Great characters, huge battles and super-cool transforming robots called Veritechs made it one of the defining animated shows of the '80s. Now, over 15 years later, we finally get a Robotech video game. And it's a good game to boot. Robotech fans will finally be able to live the life of a Robotech Defense Force pilot, flying every model of Veritech from the show including the Super and Armored versions in ground, air and space missions.
But you don't need to be a Robotech geek to get into Battlecry. At the end of the day this is just a kick-ass action game everybody should check out and play. The first time you start up Robotech, you're thrown right smack into a dogfight in the skies over Macross Island and the grounded SDF-i battle fortress.
For me, a hardcore fan of the TV series, it was like a dream come true. The missiles were flyin', the planes were transformin' and I was in heaven. The developers did a great job of forcing you to take advantage of your transforming Veritech by giving all three modes distinct strengths and weaknesses.
It's not nearly as unwieldy as it sounds, either. By the third mission I was pretty much comfortable with every form of my mech, and knew when to change into what. In fact, the controls in general are great. The only catch is understanding how to use your various abilities the proper way during some missions-- especially ones where you have to protect an ally.
I don't have a problem with escort missions in general, but Robotech never makes it clear how you should go about accomplishing your goal, and the key to protecting a target in one sortie won't necessarily work in another. It can get frustrating. Plus, I wish the game included a way to target enemies that aren't in your direct line of sight.
It would have cleared up just about every problem I have with Battlecry. Every turn, with every action, you have something interesting to do. Along with the amazing art and scenarios are short stories about the Robotech Universe.
