![]() ![]() ![]() Though fans might recognize the names of certain characters from the anime series in the game, there won't be long cutscenes of canon-specific minutiae to wade through. Those who are into the Gundam fiction continuum might be surprised to learn that Crossfire will have a slightly different spin on the world, as compared to older Gundam games. He's probably compensating for something. For good reason too, because as we discovered during our hands-on time with an updated build of the game, the appeal of giant robots blowing stuff up knows no borders. Fortunately, that hasn't stopped the folks at Namco from making Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire a launch title for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 console. Certainly there is a hardcore contingent of US fans who are familiar with Gundam lore and history but, when compared to Japan-where the Gundam series has been described as that country's Star Wars-it seems as though the series will have an uphill battle in the US market. In some ways, any Mobile Suit Gundam game is going to have a tough time of it in America.
