Super Robot Wars Z2

Super Robot Wars Z2 is a series of games for the Sony Playstation Portable. It is a sequel to the PS2 game Super Robot Wars Z, and is split into two games: Hakai-Hen (World Breaking Chapter) and Saisei-Hen (Regeneration Chapter).

Hakai-Hen primarily contains the events of the first season, while Saisei-Hen deals with R2.

World Changes
The world of Super Robot Wars Z2 is actually composed of portions of several different worlds, forcibly merged together by phenomena known as Dimensional Quakes some twenty years before the start of the series/game. The Holy Britannian Empire found itself sharing most of North and South America with the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and both nations merged into the Britannian Union, with Britannia's nobles clearly at the top.

This world has two Japans, situated right next to each other. The "Outer" Japan is the one conquered by the Britannian Union and turned into Area 11, while the Japan between it and China is still free (and home to Super Robots such as Mazinger Z and Dai-Guard), with Britannia declining to attack it as well. Area 11 is also home to a number of refugees from the Astragius Galaxy of Armored Trooper VOTOMS.

Saji Crossroad, Louise Halevy, and Relena Darlian are all students at Ashford Academy, the latter transferring at the beginning of the Hakai-Hen. This ultimately brings Setsuna F. Seiei, Heero Yuy, and Duo Maxwell. The latter two, along with Chirico Cuvie from VOTOMS, become involved in his rebellion early on.

Crowe Broust
Crowe Broust is the Original protagonist designed for Z2. Unusually for an Original Generation character, his history is rooted firmly in the universe of one of the game's series'. Crowe is a former Britannian soldier who was part of a team known as the Firebug Squad. The Firebug Squad was a type of False Flag Operation whose mission was to bring together rebellious elements in minor countries and rile them up to be crushed by the Union military. As such, they piloted machines different than the standard Knightmare Frames:a machine called the Axion. The Firebug Squad was involved in an experiment that saw the destruction of an entire town. Crowe managed to rescue the sole survivor and quit both the team and the Britannian military soon afterwards.

When the game starts Crowe is in Chicago, having inherited a 1,000,000G debt from his father. To pay it off, he signs on to test a machine called the Brasta (or Blaster), designed primarily to fight the Dimensional Beasts, creatures that haven been noted to appear during and after Dimensional quakes. Depending on the player's choices, he may also get involved in Lelouch's battles.

Storyline Split
Saisei-Hen has a hidden value known as "Zero Points" which are gained by taking certain route splits (branching parts in the storyline where the Original characters can choose which parts of the heroes' force they will travel with) or performing certain tasks in battle. If the player gains five or more by Mission 37, the course of Code Geass' storyline and Zero's destiny will take a major turn:


 * Shirley Fenette will be saved by Bajou Haran (Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3) and Roger Smith (The Big O).
 * After the Second Assault on Tokyo Settlement, the player may have the Black Knights choose to trust Lelouch despite Schneizel's outing of him as Zero.
 * Damocles is never finished, and the Zero Requiem plan is never put into motion.
 * Euphemia li Britannia survives.

If the Black Knights don't trust Lelouch, the Zero Requiem plan is put into motion, but after being stabbed by Suzaku, Lelouch is brought to the Celestial Being battleship Ptolemaios II and revived with their technology. Lelouch takes Suzaku's place and continues to be Zero for the rest of his life.
