Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space

About Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space

Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space 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 Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space compilation movie, and it also serves as a sequel of sorts to the previous PS2 game Journey to Jaburo (whose story mode covered Mobile Suit Gundam I and Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow). Furthermore, as with Journey to Jaburo, the main story mode of Encounters in Space features new 2D-animated cutscenes of the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
