There are two Modes with the game: Official and Mission Mode. Lastly, the option for Japanese Audio on the North American version, found previously in the first game, was taken out. Mobile suits making an appearance in the previous game, but were non-playable (such as the Guncannon and Hambrabi), are included in the playable roster for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, along with an enhanced Versus Mode for North American and PAL regions only. Official Mode, which chronicles the events depicted in the Universal Century calendar of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, expands to include the story in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. Intermission and briefing scenes now feature complete 2-D illustrations with various outfits for the game's characters.

Also, the ability to perform aerial maneuvers and attacks simultaneously is added. In addition, improvements have been made to enemy AI, in the hopes of keeping even the best players on their toes. Colossal mobile armors have also been added to the game and serve as some of the game's bosses. One of many additions to the game are Quick Time Events.
