Zone of the Enders (PS2) Reviews

From Konami, and not only that, but the mind of Metal Gear Solid developer Hideo Kojima, there was a lot of hype surrounding Zone of the Enders, and although it may not give the MGS series a run for its money, it's still a superbly crafted game with more than its fair share of influence coming from Anime and bi-pedal cartoons in general. Also, it ...  Read the complete review

Usually, when a game is classified as a mech., it is related with slow, heavy, clanking Japanese robots smacking each other with lampposts or massive missiles, but I can assure you, this one is very different. Imagine you are behind the "wheel" of a robot as large as a house, which has the destructive capabilities of several atomic ...  Read the complete review

Ok, where do I start! This game is a very good game! The speed at which the "orbital frames" (I will explain these soon) is very impressive! The orbital frames which I mentioned earlier are robot war machines! The Jehuty craft is the frame you control, while the Neith frame is piloted by Viola, a lady that wants to kill the pilot of ...  Read the complete review

I was going to buy Zone Of The Enders even before it was announced that it would include a Metal Gear Solid 2 playable demo, unlike most other people. I bought it last Friday the day it came out in England, and I completed it the same night. When I started playing it was one of the best games I had ever played and that stayed until the end. The ...  Read the complete review

You’ve got to love giant robots. I mean, technically, physically and tactically they are completely implausible, but damn they look nice on screen. This is obviously what went through director Noriaki Okamura mind when conceiving Zone of the Enders, probably a result of prolonged exposure to shows like Gundam and Evangelion. Of ...  Read the complete review

Most people are going to buy this game for the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo. Fair enough. But what's the game you get with the demo like? :) It's a mech game with itself is an unusual (but very welcome!!) release for the west. I guess with the Cartoon Network now showing Gundam they thought they'd release it here ;-) Anyway, the ...  Read the complete review

Mech games. Usually best left to the Japanese side of the world. They haven't taken off over here (except maybe Transformers at the start of the eighties), but in Japan every single games developer seems to have unleashed some type of mechanical monstrosity that is happy to stomp around the countryside and city scape, destroying everything ...  Read the complete review
