Macross VFX-2 (PS1, 1999)

Sequel to Macross Digital Mission VFX, released 3 years before this one (which I haven't played... yet).

I had Macross: Do You Remember Love? for the Sega Saturn ten years ago. If you've played Gundam Z for the Sega, it basically looks the same as that- 2D 32-bit graphics with minimal 3D elements. VFX-2 is fully 3D rendered world of Macross though. My only quarm about this game, or some 3D PS1 games in general is that from a distance it looks awesome, but upclose, everything looks like one big pixel.

I think there's about 12 or 14 missions to play. I always play these games in hard mode, and I think I completed the game in 3 weeks. The bosses are very unusual looking, and the gameplay varries from level to level. Along the way you get the option of poileting different mecha also.

One of the best anime games made for the PS1,


My rating: 8.1/10
