Right I'll grab it tonight I loved DW as well and hoped it was that in Gundam clothing.

Found a pretty fantastic combo on DW:G!

Try X, X, Y, Y, A, X, X, X. Double slash into a rising strike, followed by a falling strike, followed by an M. Bison Psycho Crusher Special™ into double slash.

Carnage.

Personal favourite is just X, X, X, Y though.

The thing is, you can link your SP attack anywhere in the combo, so if your gauge is fully charged, you can do X, X, Y, Y, A, X, X, X, B, and pretty much just annihilate everything in sight.

Anyone any idea when the Gundam demo will show up for UK accounts?

[Ajay1986]

Ive got the JPN version of Gundam for the PS3, its not gonna win any beauty awards but it is pretty fun all the same.

[ChrisF]

Is it the same game? ie. the PS3 Gundam game, vs this DW:Gundam game on the 360?

The Japanese PS3 version is Gundam Musou, and looks to be the very same game.

Having gone through the menus a little bit more of the demo, it turns out there's actually a chart which explains the different combos and chains of attacks that you can pull off.

It's very easy to get used to, and the basics of it are that your main X attack can be linked into a charged Y attack at any time mid combo. If this charged Y attack hits, you can link it with a dashing A attack. The charged Y attack differs depending on when you use it. X then Y will do a forward firing beam attack that pierces through enemies, X, X, Y will do a rising sword before slashing downwards, and X, X, X, Y will do a dual gun attack, Dante style. All of these charges attacks if they hit, you can just link straight into about 3 or 4 more dashing hits.

I'm completely hooked on Spyglass Boardgames and already consider it the second best XBLA release after Geometry Wars. Shame there's no 2D option for Chess but least there's a selection of boards and pieces to choose from and being able to rotate the board means there's no excuse for not knowing what pieces are where. Have already played a number of some very tightly matched Chess games and am really enjoying Checkers and Reversi too - despite being ****ing awful at the latter. ****, I even woke up half an our earlier this morning so I could get a quick game of chess in before leaving the house.

Yeah it's surprisingly addictive, except there's a lovely glitch on Player matches, if you keep pressing X (and various other buttons I'm sure) at the same time, you can cycle through the games and win a few matches without doing anything (I've lost 3 games without actually playing or moving this way)....

Still played a lovely game of chess earlier, I was so strategic without knowing it =)

[Charlie]

I've not experienced the glitch yet but, knowing that, will stick to ranked games until it's patched. Speaking of which, they desperately need to patch the game so quitting mid-match hands victory to the other player as I've lost count of the number of people I've played who quit once the match started slipping away from them.

Has anybody mentioned the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo that's on the US marketplace?!

I did on 28 July:

I played it for a bit and then deleted it. It reminded me of Ninety Nine Nights.

[kendra]

Yeah, that + timelimit on moves (or use the force move system they have in Uno).

[EvilBoris]

They are different games, the 360 gundam games are the dynasty warriars one and the mobile ops/one year war one which is an online FPS I think

There's more than one Gundam game on the PS3. Gundam Musou on the PS3 in Japan, is this very same game.

The one released on launch, is a much, much poorer game apparently.

[Ajay1986]

Must say i'll probably end up buying this when it comes out, its fun and its damn nice to actually have english menus.

[Yoshimax]

I guess the clue was in the Musou - wasn't DW called "Shin Sangoku Musou" or something like that ?

**** where'd the topic go ?
