Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space(Kidou Senshi Gundam: Meguriai Sora 機動戦士ガンダム：宇宙での出会い)is a Third-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 2 released in 2003. The game is centered on space based mobile suit combat. Developed and published by Bandai the game is based on the Universal Century timeline of the popular Gundam franchise.

Rather than tell a single continuous story, the single-player game in Encounters in Space is broken up into a few short vignettes that take place over the course of four years. These vignettes are accounts of several significant battles during and after the One Year War between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon.

The main story mode of Encounters in Space is essentially a game adaptation of the third Mobile Suit Gundam compliation movie (also titled Encounters in Space), and it also serves as a sequel of sorts to the previous PS2 game Journey to Jaburo, whose story mode covered the first two Mobile Suit Gundam compilation movies. Also as with Journey to Jaburo, the main story mode of Encounters in Space features newly hand animated cutscenes of Mobile Suit Gundam.

Gameplay

The game takes place entirely in Outer Space, although the Moon, space colonies, and asteroids are sometimes visited. The player pilots a wide variety of Mobile Suits, Mobile Armours, and other spacecraft throughout several different zero gravity environments. Also thrusters can be used to give these mobile weapons a temporary boost in speed and maneuverability. These vehicles can move forward, backward, and side to side using the left analog stick and can move up and down using the R1 and R2 buttons, allowing for 360 degree combat. The game is mostly free roaming, although a few rail shooter sections are commonly encountered.

Players can use a large assortment of different main, sub, and melee weapons that very greatly between different units. Certain crafts are also equipped with a special attack, which can be activated once a special meter has been filled. The game is divided into several different story modes, each corresponding to a different pilot or setting. These pilots range from main characters of the original Gundam series to lesser known pilots from the Gundam manga. The game also includes a two player multiplayer vs. mode. Players can also play against AI units in multiplayer. Finally there is a mode where players can create their own unique pilots for use in multiplayer.

• Mission mode: Create a Zeon or Federation pilot for use in Versus mode
• Verses mode: A one-to-two-player splitscreen mode.

Notes

• In the original, Japanese release of this game, the G, Wing and SEED units, along with the G and Wing pilots, were actually downloadable content for the game. However, as America didn't have a system like that set up, all ten extras were included in the American release free.
