Robotech: Battlecry

"...Robotech: Battlecry will have a hard time appealing to anyone but die-hard fans of the series, and even then, it is unlikely that it will stay entertaining for more than a few hours."

"Robotech: Battlecry is a mediocre shooter that's notable only on the strength of its license."

"If you aren't a fan, this game isn't for you. If you think you want to give a game that looks cartoonish a chance, pick another title, because this game should be for Robotech fans only."

"The cel-shaded look caught us a bit offguard, but it's unlikely that Vicious Cycle is trying to take us down the anime path of say, Jet Set Radio Future. The graphics style is intended to keep the game close to its animated television show roots but there won't be any accompanying wacky weirdness that has characterized many of the cel shaded games we've seen so far."

"Fans of the show should definitely pick this one up for your favorite system, not because it's another piece of memorabilia, but because it's a nice, controllable manifestation of a show you love. Console gamers who could care less about a Robotech license will appreciate the transforming, hectic style of combat this game offers, but will likely run into the same walls I did after awhile. That said, we'll all be on the lookout for the sequel (it's called Battlecry for a reason) and the promise of enhanced everything."
