De son côté, Planet Xbox 360 a relevé que « Even though the story modes are really confusing what this series has always relied on is the fun-factor of slicing up hundred of enemies on screen at one time… ». En revanche, certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont exprimé leur déception, l'un déclarant « So boring. SOOOOOO BORING. I really, really wanted to like this game. I played it with my brother, and we just could not handle it.

« The bottom line is if you're smart enough to read the title, you're smart enough to know what you're buying. So anime fans play to your heart's content. I know I am! »
« Even though the story modes are really confusing what this series has always relied on is the fun-factor of slicing up hundred of enemies on screen at one time, and that is what DW: Gundam does right. Enjoy it for a couple hours, do some co-op and then move on; that’s about all there is to it. »
« As for the gameplay, it does just enough to outdo previous Gundam games, though its repetitive nature won't please everyone, and the lack of online play hurts. Still, it does offer a few hours of robot smashing fun. »
« Hack-n-slash gameplay done right. Thousands of enemies, over a hundred of which can be visible on screen at any given time, and the coolest mobile suits around. If the developers could find a way to prevent the game from becoming repetitive, then the eventual sequel – or the next spin-off – could be amazing. »
« It can be fun at times, and leveling your pilots up does encourage multiple play throughs, but this game is much more suitable for Gundam enthusiasts than the average gamer. »
« This is the definition of a niche title. Fans of either series are going to dig it...other gamers, maybe not so much. It's fun for a little while, but not really that great. [Vol 3, Issue 2, p.66] »
« Combine that frustration with the almost insultingly shallow combat and it's hard to get too excited about jumping back into the game more than once or twice. »
« If you enjoy the thought of watching Kamille Bidan and Heero Yui team up to blow away an army of Zakus and Z'Goks, or if you're simply a fan of the hack-and-slash gameplay that the Dynasty Warriors franchise provides, then you could do far worse than Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. »

« So boring. SOOOOOO BORING. I really, really wanted to like this game. I played it with my brother, and we just could not handle it. The missions are boring, the progression system is boring, the characters are boring, the story is boring... »
« Vous prenez un gros étron de la dynastie des étrons "Dynasty Warriors", vous mettez des robots d'un mauvais goût manga-niais à hurler de rire dedans et le tour est joué : voilà "Dynasty Warriors Gundam". Tout un programme... Chez Koei on est écolo : on recycle la même merde régulièrement ! Boulotté à la va-vite, c'est exactement le même jeu affligeant, consternant qu'un Dynasty Warriors, le niveau zéro multiplié à l'infini sauf que ça fait toujours zéro... au final. A noter que pour rigoler 5 mn (avant d'appuyer sur eject), on peut avoir les voix japonaises (on se croirait dans San Ku Kaï). »
« you know im not really a gundam fan i wached the series abit with wing 0 and it just didnt grab me . but i liked some of the dynasty warrior games and love giant mechs so mixed together worked well for me . you get a ton of mechs to pick from and each has there own story mode so they is alot of replay hear . infact i i got a 1000 GS on it and that took me 80 hours to do it and didnt really do it cause i had to have it . i did it because i enjoyed it . if it had 4 player online co -op with more custimisation and maybe a deeper story to it would have been a great game but as is its still a good game and a fun one if you like the DW games and if you are a gundam fan you will prolly like it even more. »
