I miss this game from my childhood. I played it for hours and found it to be ahead of its time in many ways. I have yet to witness another gundam game or mech game like this one to date. I herald it much like Final Fantasy Tactics but not in a turn based setting. I hope you consider a play through.

If you're a Gundam fan, or just plain fan of Mecha games, this is the game for you. Strap yourself into one of over 30 available mobile suits and take on over 40 missions. But this time, you're not fighting on the side of the Federation, this time you're a Zeek! You command the unit, Midnight Fenrir, in a campaign against the Earth Federation. As you go along, you can unlock more mobile suits, weapons, and extras to customize, like night vision scopes, extra ammo, radar cloaks, and smoke grenades. Set your own mission way-points and guide your team through intense combat, once through against tanks, the second time against mobile suits. Use a variety of weapons, ranging from the 90 mm Machine Gun, to the long-range 90 mm AR Rifle, to the powerful Beam Rifle. GRAPHICS AND SOUND: leave you feeling like you were just in the action, right there piloting the mobile suit. And these mobile suits aren't the "I can take 1000 hits and not die!" kind. One shot in the back will kill you, and about 2 or three direct shots in the front will do the same, once your shield (if equiped) runs out. Some trees and buildings look flat, to preserve on the PlayStation's RAM. But each mobile suit is detailed right down to intricate insignias. And if you look closely enough, there are even bullet marks. GAMEPLAY: You'll have fun solving puzzles on the battlefield, using different mobile suits for different terrain and missions, each with different equipment. You need to plan to win, you can't just throw three Zakus in with machine guns and blow everything up. REPLAYABILITY: With over 40 missions and tons of extras to unlock, even after beating the game, you'll have fun unlocking all the extra mobile suits, weapons, and add-ons. (HINT HINT: You can unlock a Gundam :D ). CONTROLS: There are plenty of controls, beyond those of the basic gamer. Controls for stopping team movements, setting their movement speed, WHO moves, who attacks and who doesn't. You can even control the formations of individual teams, for attack, defense, retreat, and advance. Controlling the MS can be confusing at first, but all controls on the pad are customizable in their function, and axis are reversible. OVERALL: There probably is no better Gundam fighting game on the market (Except for MSG: Crossfire for the PS3). If you own the PS2, and are in need of a game that is sure to tantalize your Mecha/Gundam craving, this is the game for you! The game is fully customizable, so the entire game truly becomes your own. ZIEG ZEON!Read full review
This game is similar to the new Crossfire game, but played only on the side of Zeon (usuakky bad guys). It uses a unique squad system and before each mission you assign them waypoints and battle codes. You can also take control of the teams directly and fight as them. The game also has a stealth system to add a challenge. The game is very difficult in that your mobile suits die relatively easy, and if hit from behind, you go down very quickly. The same is true for the enemy though, so flanking is the main tactic.
The game is just as good as I remember, mine also came with the case and the book. One of the few games, if not the only game that lets you play as the zeon.
