graphically GBO2 still looks like a PSP game but its mostly UC gundam designs save it for me
EDF is even worse, it still has a budget PS2 game look. But it went for the campy route in art direction, mid century giant monster movies, early big mecha, with a sprinkle of modern stuff.
Battletech, which I grew up with (MechWarrior 2 & 3, first Mech Commander) also look distinct, thanks to their "inspiration", despite every assets in all of these games + their pre-renders having less polys than a single boob from a MB pilot.
