Gundam 00 - A Wakening of the Trailblazer

Yeah it's not a game, but who cares :p.

Gundam 00 - A Wakening of the Trailblazer is a japanese anime movie. It is a direct continuation from Gundam 00 anime that ran for 2 seasons. For those of you who don't know gundam, it's a giant war robot flying around shooting other robots. It may sound childish but it really isn't. Gundam is really famous because of the mature plot and storyline: war, politics, betrayal, romance, etc. Gundam 00 is the latest series in the franchise, and the best in my opinion. Go watch the series before you watch the movie.

Gundam 00 Qan[T]

Back to the movie, Trailblazer follows where season 2 has left off. Two years after the final battle, Earth is in peace under a new government. Celestial Being and the crew is still around but operating in secret. More humans become Innovators (the next step of human evolution, these guys are supposedly more capable than normal humans). And then there are aliens called ELS (Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shapeshifter) who emerged from Jupiter and seems to be attracted to Innovator's quantum brainwaves. Yes, aliens. This is the first time gundam have aliens.

ELS comes out from Jupiter

ELS is portrayed like crystals which can change shape, and they can assimilate everything within seconds. They seem to be sentient but their purpose is unknown. Anyway, the movie is all about human's battle with ELS. Innovator seems to be the key in the whole thing, so its up to Setsuna and the gang again to save humanity.

Gundam Raphael

The animation in Trailblazer is really good. The gundams look nice, the characters look cool, the battle scenes are exciting, etc etc, you get the point: it's good. The main characters each has a new gundam, but their screen time is somewhat limited so it's not clear what their speciality is.

The inclusion of alien in gundam is somewhat... okay. It's not great but it's not bad either, it's something new. You have to see the movie yourself. You may compare it with Macross, although I think Trailblazer is largely different.

Last words, If you like gundams, especially Gundam 00, then you have to watch this movie.
