One of my favorite video games set in the Universal Century Gundam Universe is Rise from the Ashes for the Dreamcast. Rise From the Ashes takes place during the One Year War. You play the part of Master Pierce Rayer, Commander of the White Dingos. One of the things that helps this game feel like a "Gundam" story is the fact that you even have a rival Visch Donahue. If the game has one flaw, it is that it was too short. This shouldn't be surprising as the proprietary media that Sega used at the time only held a gig of space. This was due to the Dreamcast coming out just before DVDs hit the technology scene. When you consider all the different cutscenes in the game, it's not surprising that the development team just ran out of space to cram extra stuff like a quick battles mode. I love the game despite it's flaws.
I really enjoy the third mission third. You get to snipe at a Gau Assualt Carrier.
