is a Sci-Fi Mech Shooter/Mech Simulator Game for the Sony PlayStation 2. This game allows the user to play as a regular soldier on either the EFSF or the Principality of Zeon, witnessing events from the One Year War on a grunt unit's point of view. The user is able to fight side by side with the Ace pilots as they make cameo appearances on certain missions. Getting a high rank on a certain key mission unlocks a mobile suit (usually the strongest one featured on that episode). Suits from Mobile Suit Gundam to Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory appear in the game. Music from the game was composed by Takanori Arima and Koji Yamada.
A manga version has also been published by Kadokawa Shoten and in North America by Tokyopop.
Characters
Earth Federation Forces
Lt. Matt Healy ( マット・ヒーリィ中尉)— An Earth Federation pilot, Matt leads the Experimental Unit featured in the game. In the game, the player assumes his role in the Federation Story. Portrayed as a kind-hearted leader, he is always looking out for his team. He values human lives very much, allies and enemies alike. Due to this, he often ignores strategic advice from the team's operator, Noel Anderson, and comes into conflict with her. Despite this, the whole team still has great faith in him since no team members have died while fighting under his command. Matt saw action in most of the important battles on Earth at Operation Odessa and Battle of Jaburo. He retired from the military after the war and lived as a civilian in Australia. Matt pilots a RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type mobile suit, but later switches to a RX-79[G] ground type Gundam. In the PSP game, Gundam Battle Royale, his stats as a pilot is considerly high, even outmatching more famous Federation aces such as Shiro Amada and Yu Kajima. He is featured in the PS2 game, G Generation Spirits as an obtainable character. He doesn't appear in the game, characters simply refer him as "Captain".
