This game has a lot of greatness going for it. Funny/enthralling story. Lots of weapons, good graphics for the time (hey it has actual shadows from a time when they didn't do that!), a long single player story, and GIANT KILLER ROBOTS, that you can control and transform and use tractor beams with. That's right, tractor beams. As well as the obvious anime influences, they pay homage to some great shows like Evangelion. Anyone still play online? This game has wicked fun multiplayer!
