The two major factors that bothered me are: 1) turning/rotation factor and 2) difficulty. The radar scheme could have used a little work as well. The �turning/rotation� I am referring to is the ability to rotate or turn left or right to view oncoming enemies. This can get pretty bothersome if you�ve got 4 or 5 enemies attacking you from all sides at once. The difficulty in the game is simply nuts, even on easy mode. This will contribute to the frustration factor, and thus, can lead to the game just sitting on your shelf for awhile.
Overall
A great cartoon series brought to �real-life�. Great action game play using the cell-shading engine. Great revival to a great story. Great fluidity due to the cel-shading, but horrid mobility of your Veritech,..hmmm�.you make the call. I�m not 100% satisfied with the conversion from cartoon to game console. To me, the Robotech cartoon is a classic. To make a game based on a classic, the game would have to be great in its entirety. Sorry, doesn�t happen here in Robotech: Battlecry. My score is 8.25.
