There are over 50 missions and each mission is not to be taken lightly because they just keep coming and coming (the enemy that is). I recommended for those new and old to the series and want to just say that it could get frustrating at times but in the end its all good.

I loved the first game and this adds more to it. The branching storylines compensates for the extra cast members.

If you play ogre battel march of black queen or final fantasy tactist or ogre tactis you love super robot wars taisen . A better vertion chess or game go. Each robot and pilot has there owen skill and the story line will take you away. I hope they would traslate all super robot wars vertion

I purchased this for a neighbor. He loves it but then he loves anything electronic. He will let me know if there is a problem with the game and so far he has never had a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the first SRT:OG game then buy this right away
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2006
What is the recipe for a perfect scoring game? Could it be turn based strategy, Alien invasions and giant japanese robots? It is in my book. These are perhaps my favorite games for the GBA.

The Super Robot Taisen franchise has been popular in Japan for year, but unfortunately due to licensing issues they couldn't release it in America. Normally SRT has an all star cast of Super Robots and their pilots plucked from both modern anime and the classics. Unfortunately that causes issues when they want to release the SRT games over seas since the licenses are owned by many different companies both in NA and back in Japan. I can imagine it's a nightmare.

The Original Generation line of SRT games has all original Banpresto characters and creations so the same licensing issues don't apply and we in NA finally get to experience the greatness of the SRT series.

SRT:OG 2 is a direct sequel to SRT:OG 1, which came out several months ago in North America so buy that game before you play this one. With that said SRT:OG 2 is basically the same exact game as SRT:OG 1, but adds on everything. More pilots, more robots, more customizations, more branching story lines. If you liked the first SRT:OG than you should already own this game. Don't you want to know what happened to all the pilots?

If you've never seen a SRT game they are alot of fun. It's like playing advanced Wars or Fire Emblem except SRT has more RPG like elements to it. You can assign pilots to robots, outfit them with an array of weapons and other useful equipment, change their frames... Both the robots and weapons various attributes can be upgraded for money. The pilots can level up and acquire a wide variety of skills and improve their stats. They also have long cut scenes with alot of text and talking heads like Fire Emblem. So expect to read alot, which I love but I'm sure some of people hate. You could easily skip through the dialogue if you wanted.

The game is a GBA game so don't expect miracles graphically. With that said, it looks great for a GBA. all the animations are well drawn and are crisply animated.

SRT:OG 2 has a branched storyline at several points therefore you could make different choices on your second playthrough and have a novel experience. This is better than the duel story line of SRT:OG 1 in my opinion since it offers more replay value.

I have plenty of DS games to play, but I keep slipping SRT into the bottom slot because I'm addicted.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is my first experience with Super Robot Taisen...
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2007
... and I'm up to mission 12 in Original Generation 2. While I've played my fair share of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, this is my first time to play an SRPG centered around giant robots and their pilots. The thing about this game is it's not just a carbon copy of those games with giant robots. In Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, the battles nearly take a backseat to the complex story.

Not having played the original, I asked for some background information from a friend who had, and I am glad I did. The amount of history and character background is enough to fill a textbook, and if you don't do any research before diving into this sequel you will be lost. There are probably 100 characters introduced in the first 12 missions alone. But I did my homework and paid close attention, so I was able to keep up. Barely.

SRT:OG2 has huge amount of dialogue that carries this deep and twisted story through its dozens of sub-plots. The dialogue often lasts longer than the actual missions, so if you don't like to read in games, cross this game off your list immediately. The fighting robots even stop in mid-battle for discussion. Fortunately, this being a portable game, the developers made it possible to save at any time, even in the middle of a conversation. Just press "start" and you can pick up where you left up, and by pressing the "B" button you can backtrack through the dialogue to refresh your memory on what was being said. Very handy. If you can deal with the sheer amount of dialogue you'll discover a well-written story with fleshed-out characters each of whom has a distinctive personality. Some are lovable, some are despicable, and it all adds up to a very memorable experience.

Artistically this game is a winner. The robot animations are detailed and exciting. I believe SRT:OG2 has the best animations I've ever seen on the Gameboy Advance. But if you're pressed for time, or if you get tired of watching battles (each of which lasts between 15 and 30 seconds) you can switch them off and the battles will progress much faster on the map. The soundtrack is excellent, and sounds even catchier through headphones.

I've really enjoyed the story, but the actual missions fall short of perfection. The main problem is the way the robots are represented on the field. It's hard to tell who's who since every ally on the map is grayish-green (even though they are actually red, blue, pink, and every other color in the rainbow). You'll often have to click on each ally to confirm who they are. This is a hassle.

So is Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2 for you? Ask yourself this: Am I willing to study up on the first game's background so I know what's going on? Do I have the patience to read pages upon pages of detailed dialogue full of references to politics and personal relationships? Am I committed to studying this game, to learn the intricacies of battle and robot/pilot customization? If not, stick with the much-simpler Fire Emblem or Advance Wars. Personally, I'm glad I got this game because it has challenged me as a gamer and a student of storytelling.
