Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 (ガンダム無双2) is the sequel to Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. It updates the roster, adds more attacks for the characters, and allows characters to pilot even the "grunt" Mobile Suit (MS) units.

Official Mode
The story mode that reenacts iconic moments from the anime series. The sagas from the first game return (Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and ZZ Gundam) with events from the 1988 movie, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. The player can only select Amuro, Char, Kamille, and Judau in this mode. Amuro and Char are listed twice, one with their younger appearances and another with their looks in Char's Counterattack. Two player co-op is still available. The stories feature different movies than the first title and are also depicted in a different theatrical style.

Completing this mode with these characters makes them and their Mobile Suits available in Mission Mode. Some characters who appear in these sagas can only be unlocked in this mode.

Mission Mode
A revamped version of the previous title's Original Mode, this feature allows players to play other heroes in the Gundam series. It keeps the original, cross-universe stories as well as the mechanic feature. A new concept is the ability to adjust other characters' affinity towards the player's character. The relationships range from "Contemptuous" (worst) to "Friendly" (best). Making friends unlocks more characters and missions. Messages from pilots who want to engage the player or additional Story Missions can be unlocked through the Terminal (an in-game message board for the player).
 * Story Missions - original stories different than the first title. Musha Gundam continues to appear but not as a primary antagonist.
 * Free Missions - battles that do not fit into other categories. The first training mission does not affect the character's relations. General requests from sub characters can be found here. This section also includes the "reward" stages, in which the player can unlock by completing hidden objectives.
 * Collection Missions - mid-level events that are mainly dedicated for finding parts.
 * Friendship Missions - any battle that changes characters' view of the player character. The results can occasionally be determined by a pilot's gender.
 * License Missions - stages that allow players to gain a license to pilot another high class Mobile Suit. More often than not, the original pilot of the mecha will be involved in these stages and require a level of affinity with them to proceed.
 * Extra Missions - harder missions that require a larger setup to unlock. Completing these stages usually unlock the Part 4's for the Mobile Suits.
 * Download Missions - for the PS3 and Xbox 360 ports only, this section includes missions that the player can download online. These missions can sometimes ask players to meet specific criteria to participate in them; a few are set at a certain difficulty level.

In between missions, characters can also check their skills and licenses for other Mobile Suits.

Versus Mode
Pits two players against one another in three unique contests.
 * War - challenges each player to quickly fulfill battle objectives.
 * Sudden Death - players start with a low armor rating and are asked to deal severe damage without shutting down.
 * Hunting - one side is assigned as Hunters and the others are called Targets. The Hunter's goal is to shoot down as many Targets as possible; Targets avoid getting shot down. When a Target gets shot, the roles reverse.

Gallery
Keeps track of the available characters, movies, music, battleships, and Mobile Suits. Excluding the music, each subject has a brief biography about its role in the series. Characters statistics and their Mobile Suits' equipment can also be seen here.

Allusions

 * The series' mascot, Haro, can be seen and heard various times in the game. The first version of the mini mecha remains an all recovery item and Lacus' beloved pink Haro can be seen in the Loading and Game Over screens. Haro's voice can be heard during Mission Mode to address new battle objectives. Additionally, Lacus can be seen searching for her Haro in Amuro's Story Mode. Her Haro also appears in the game's save icon.
