Overview
I remember watching this cartoon series (Robotech) way back when,�I guess I�m THAT old. Regardless, the cartoon series was simply awesome. When Robotech Battlecry was scheduled for release, I was anxious and eager to get my hands on a copy. With this cel-shaded shooter, TDK brings back childhood memories. But this time, you play the hero, as opposed to just watching. TDK does a fine job incorporating the cartoon with the game. The anime (Japanese cartoon) and the voice characterization are those of the original cast from the cartoon series. Battling the �Large alien beings� with a Veritech fighter to save the existence of mankind?�sounds real cool to me. �Transform� from Fighter to Guardian to Battloid to overcome massive odds against the enemy.
PROS
Cel-shaded graphics offer simplistic linear lines. So, hundreds of missiles appearing on the screen at one time, along with your Fighter AND to or more alien ships is not a problem for the console to handle. In essence, you�ve got the same action in the game, as you did watching the cartoon series. Very impressive and mind blowing - ballistic action. The story (for me anyway) is easy to follow. But, if you have not seen the cartoon, you may not quite understand the �protocol� that they are always talking about. But, it is pretty easy to follow.
