"A collection of all of the old robot wars"

The super Robot wars series was created by a japanese company called Branpresto. The first game started on the NES all the way back in the early 1990s. Ever since then, there has been a lot of robot wars out. There is super robot wars 1, super robot wars 2, super robot wars 3, super robot wars ex. super robot wars 4, super robots wars 4 scrambled, shin super robot wars, super robot wars f, and super robot wars F final. With each release, the story is different as well as the cast. Bascially, super robot wars is a collection of anime robots in a game. These robots range from Gundams, to the mighty Magaziner, Gunbusters and even Evas. The last game in the Super deform series of robot wars would have to be super robot wars F Final. After the release of F final for the psx, branpresto decided to re-release super robot wars 2, 3 and ex onto a box set called super robot wars complete box.

Super robot wars is a strategy game in which you move units around in a map and fight battles and naviagate thru the story. In between battles, you get to upgrade your robots, and their weapons with the funding that you get after defeating enemies. Super robot wars 2, 3, and ex were released a long time ago, but the re-release of the game features graphics from the F final series, which is much better than the original ones for the NES and SNES.

Super robot wars 2 and 3 is along the same story line as the 4th and f series. They are all about Martians invading earth, and robots from earth gather to fight them. Ex is a side story of robot wars, which stars The Cybuster as the main character. Cybuster is a series of original robots created by branpresto for the super robot wars series.

After playing the game, and watching some of the better FMVs of the game, I would say that this game is definitely worth buying and collecting. The game comes in 2 disks, with the second disk being a history of robot wars. It has most of the encyclopedias of robots and characters as well as a battle mode in which you could use your save characters to fight a friend's save characters, which is quite fun. This is the first robot wars game to support 2 players.

The robot wars complete box is a really great game and I really look forward to branpresto's new release of Real robot wars Frontline
