If you aren't familiar with the story line of the Gundam universe, you better get there before you start on this game or you will be hopelessly lost. Those that are familiar with it will be able to follow and understand why the main character, Char Aznable, can have a triple identity. They can also understand why "Master Asia" is named after a continent instead of just a tree or flower. There are tons of story lines and content behind each character in the game - so if you aren't familiar with any of it, this game will not do a good job of explaining and it will get frustrating. For those that have several hours, or weeks, to go through all of the characters in the game, you can actually play each one and follow their story line so you can try to piece together everything. Personally, I could not do it. I am familiar a bit with the Gundam story line, but man, this game does a horrible job of keeping it alive. So bad in fact, that I could not really follow anything past the basics of get the people out of the television before they get stuck in there forever.
