Gundam Battle Assault - Advertisement Review

You know those people who talk about how Sony hates 2D games? They point to Sony's reluctance to feature 2D titles at the system's launch and conclude that this must be their feelings across the board; claiming that Sony hates old school gamers and it's another reason to avoid their products. Well, I have a hunch those people aren't sticking up for 2D games like Gundam Battle Assault, the mediocre anime-game released on the original PlayStation!

This advertisement manages to break several of the rules Defunct Games has established in past Commercial Break episodes. For one thing, it's disgusting. Granted, it's not the type of advert that's going to ruin your stomach, but it's not about to make you want to buy this crummy game, either. Between cuts, blisters, rashes, stitches, and other painful situations, this hand is no looking good, and if this is the way your hand is going to look after your done playing Gundam Battle Assault then maybe you should pick up Metal Gear Solid instead.

Another problem with this advertisement is that it makes absolutely no sense to the people who have never actually watched this show. "Gash got going toe-to-toe against Psycho"?? Is that even English? "9 stitches. Exactly 23 less than I gave Quebeley." "Friction burn got after getting in Hygog's Face." If any of these statements make sense to you then perhaps you deserve your hand to look like that. It's time to turn off the Gundam game, there's a whole world out there and it's calling your name. Loser.
