I'm a big fan of Macross. Or at least, I'm a big fan of the Macross concept, but the execution always left me cold.
Watching episodes of the original show now only serves as a reminder to how outdated and old the show was. The animation, characters and stories that captured my imagination as a child has lost much of its shine.
The videogames were mostly mediocre as well, and I feel they have never truly captured the feel of Macross.
But there's no denying that Macross still holds a special spot for me, and this game could be the one. It looks bleeding awesome.
An excercise in self gratification and fulfilment. There is no greater joy, than for me to indulge myself with the things that I want.

well that is to be expected as the cartoon continue to look more and more dated compared to the vibrancy of today's animes.
I kinda liked the game though it can get somewhat repetitive but the different models of mecha always makes me come back for more =)
Have you watched the latest macross series? can't remember what it is called....
I'm guessing that you're talking about the Robotech: Battlecry game? That wasn't bad... but it wasn't really good, eh?
No, I haven't seen the new series yet. It's called Macross: Frontier, right?
And you know what? I couldn't resist buying the original Macross boxset from JB Hi-Fi. It was going for $32.98!
