![]() Playing through different chapters will reveal a little more each time about the overall story. In each chapter the characters privy to that particular story strive to uncover the truth and secrets behind this mysterious signal. The underlying story behind each chapter revolves around a mysterious signal being broadcasted from an unknown planet. Rather, each chapter should be considered a small sub-story of a larger picture. Each of the story chapters are non-linear and don’t seem to occur in a particular chronological order. For example, one of the first available Chapters is called “Those who Understand” which tells the tales of Amuro Ray, Setsunna F Seiei, Kou Uraki and Kira Yamato (amongst others). The Chapters focus on numerous different pilots, often from different series of the anime. It should be noted that each of the different pilots will be included in different storyline progressions based on the different “chapters” of the game.

This is a trend that we, as gamers, are often disappointed to find, as many gamers, including myself hold a fandom for both anime and video games as two sides of the same coin. More often than not, we find many games based on animes do not even get considered for a international release. In a western gaming market, anime based games are often met with differing reactions based on their fluctuating popularity. Platform: Xbox 360 (reviewed), Playstation 3
