This is the third game of this franchise which crosses several Gundam Universes and Timelines. Those new to the series would probably be intimidated or could even be turned off buy the prospect of a Dynasty Warriors game. It is a fun game, harder than hell but fun. You can play as any number of pilots and machines from the other games plus new ones. They added 4 new series into the franchise, (0083 Stardust Memory,Unicorn, After War Gundam X, and 00) as well as several more characters and missions as dlc. It made story battles much shorter and repetitive after some time, online missions are much shorter and have a good core group of players who are very sporting. The new cinematic movies combined with the new cell shaded style work well in rendering both cutscene and game play.

8 of 10 If my disc wasn't scratched I was just one mission away from getting the last achievement, well 2 but that mission would have unlocked both...
