Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo

Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo is an action game based directly on the Mobile Suit Gundam fims and series. The game begins at the start of the series and ends at the ending of the second film. The game plays in an action game format with a standard first person view. It features newly hand animated cutscenes that depict events from the original television series as well as a CGI opening depicting a space battle from the One Year War and then a scene of the Gundam destroying several Zaku IIs before being attacked by Char Aznable.

The English dub of the video game features the voices of the actors who were cast for the Mobile Suit Gundam television series as with most games subsequent to the series' dubbing, rather than the English cast of the films.

Story Mode
The story mode of Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo follows the events of the series while adhering to the films canon. It contains scenes and events that were cut from the films, but it follows the film canon due to facts like Sayla Mass obtaining a Core Booster, rather than G-Fighter and the retirment of the Guntank in favor of having a second Guncannon.

The game begins with the Zaku infiltration of Side 7, it shows this as well as Amuro finding the Gundam. In the first level he fights three Zaku IIs, only two of which need to be destroyed. An cutscene depicting briefly the events from Side 7 all the way to the White Base's arrival on Earth follows then players are thrust into a battle against the forces of Garma Zabi. The story mode continues in like fashion on the Earth segment of the series, avoiding aquatic combat and depicting mainly the more important battles of the series. Cutscenes tend to be lengthy summaries of the events of the series and have crisp animation, though they follow the animation style of the original series.

The nine missions included in Story Mode are nearly all named after episodes of the series and naturally involve in them the events of said episodes. The two exceptions to this rule are Cross of Sand, which takes place during episode 18 of the original series "Zeon's Secret Mine". The missions are as follows:


 * 1) Gundam Rising
 * 2) Winds of War
 * 3) Garma's Fate
 * 4) The Threat of Zeon
 * 5) Cross of Sand
 * 6) Ramba Ral's Attack
 * 7) Soldiers of Sorrow
 * 8) Across the Atlantic Ocean
 * 9) Tragedy in Jaburo

After beating the story mode, players are allowed access to Tactics Battle Mode, in addition the normal CGI video is replaced by a stylized anime cutscene set to Tobe Gundam!, the original opening theme of the animated series. The cutscene depicts the Gundam along with the GM Blue Destiny, Alex Gundam and Gundam G and ends showing protagonists Amuro Ray, Christina Mackinze, Shiro Amada, and Yu Kajima standing on a hill with their MS in front of the White Base.
