I don't have PS2, so I most certainly haven't play this game, but seeing all the action on its website makes me want to burn my wallet on a PS2 right away (even though everyone is talking about PS3 now). Looking at the animation, which didn't say anything about controls or usability, it's still pretty damn cool and worth the money on the game. And Lacus is available as the choice pilot too :-)
Gotta watch the animation!
