What is Gundam 0079: The War for Earth (J)?

Gundam 0079 stands out from a pack of other Gundam games with one fact; it's the only one so far developed in the U.S. for both the U.S. and Japanese markets, not to mention one of the first real games developed for the Bandai Pippin WWW/CD-ROM console.

With Presto Studios' past credits being primarily in multimedia, Gundam 0079 has interactive-movie-like gameplay, but with action sequences as well. The universe is depicted in photorealistic 3D, with close to 30 minutes of CG animation, including 3D models of all the Gundam mobile suits. The story, approved by Sunrise Studios (the makers of Gundam), puts you in the place of a civilian who must don Mobile Suit Gundam to fend off the militaristic Zeon forces and their power-mad leader, Char Aznable. The Japanese version will feature some of the original voice actors.
