Well, let's first say that I have have yet to see Hideo Kojima do a bad game, and Z.O.E. is no exception. Like all of his previous and up coming works, Z.O.E. features a complex storyline that twists with every step you take thoughout the game. Also like his others works, the visuals are absolutely stunning. The control interface is quite seemless and within a matter of minutes you'll find yourself doing complicated and highly powerful short and long range attacks. I will say that the part that I enjoy the most is the close in engery sword duels with the enemy drones.

If you are a fan of Macross, Neo-Genesis, or even Escaflowne will find this to be a fine addition to their PS2 collection, and those who are fans of Hideo Kojima will enjoy both Z.O.E. and the Metal Gear: Sons of Liberty Demo.

One of the BEST mech fighting games out for ps2

Lets see, I bought this game for the metal gear solid 2 demo so when i got home from circuit cit with the game i played metal gear solid 2, then i tried ZOE thinking its gonna be a pretty cool game, i wasnt sure if it was great or not but i mostly wanted it for MGS2,(by the way MGS2 is the best game)so when i played ZOE it amazed me, i liked it soo much. The game is really fun and the controls are very good for all the things you can do in the game. I really love this game and think that everyone should at least rent it, and buy it after u rent it because i garantee you will like them both.

A definite MUST BUY!

Killer graphics, a great storyline, superior control, and a heck of a lot of fun to play. This is a game you can get immersed in for hours - decent length and a fair challenge as well. This is why you bought a PS2! The Metal Gear 2 demo that is included is fantastic as well - I normally don't spend much time with demos but this one kept me involved for over an hour and I can't wait to get home and play some more. BUY THIS GAME!

Hey if the makers of metal gear make it ,its going to be goo

I think this game is very good,I got it because of the demo of Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons of Liberty,thats a good demo but could of been a little longer.Then I started playin Z.O.E it the game is very good,it stays behind you when your movin around and its a fun game for every one I think.The game is great because you get alot of playintime not like some games were its all movie and a little bit a game playin time.If you liked the old metal gear you should get this game and for the demo.

Now this is a game that made my dreams come true. It had everything that i wanted in a game, gameplay, graphics, somewhat of a story, but TOO short though. A great game with a short story line. When i saw the credits i thought that it would be like an anime and seperate it into chapters, but no..it really was the end of the game which [made me mad]. It would have been a great game had it have a longer story. As for the gameplay, I was sooo happy, i always wanted a fast paced game. This game is FAST, ALA Dragon Ball Z fast, if timed perfectly, you can grab and punch the enemy into the sky and then be behind him and slice and dice them to the ground. Now that i see that a game is this fast...why not make a Dragon Ball Z game with this type of speed for the playstation 2. Aerial combat is VERY easy, what i always wanted. I feared aerial combat in Armored Core 2, because the computer had the advantage, its painful to control your mech in the air, but not in ZOE. If you like a fast game, then ZOE is for you..., it even comes packed with Metal Gear Solid 2. All i have to say is that Rendered cut scenes we use to see on the playstation, are actual gameplay scenes in this game. Its THAT good.

Great Game!!!!( most of the time )

This game is really pretty good (especially for a mech game). The graphics are nice and and smooth.The controls are of the best ever made for a mach game and pretty much anyone can master the controls the first day. The game is pretty short though which kills it some if your looking for a good, lengthy game.Also, beleive it or not as it turns out you have to beat the game which really [stinks] if you want to play any multiplayer and if you don't have a memory card its pretty much useless to beat it unless you just want to beat it.But its still a great game worth buying especially if you want to play a game thats just plain fun.

For Everything Good, Well, There's Also Bad

You know, i, as well as every other sap that REALLY wanted to play the MGS2:SOL demo also got a full game! Yep, Zone of enders came packed into the case as well, and it's not all that special.

I'll start out with the good, that way i'll make everyone all happy.

1._The_Camera_Work_Is_Phenominal!_ It Doesn't matter if you're off in space, fighting a dinky little robot, a huge boss, or need to hit something incredibly small, your camera will actually be your best guide.

2._The_Controls_Are_Top-Notch!_ While you are fighting bad things that want to hurt you (haha), you have a variety of weapons you can pick up along the way, and switching between them is simple & easy. Equally easy is navigating through the semi-dense environments, which aides in avoiding enemy fire, and deciding which enemy to take out next.

3._Graphical_Prowess!_ Well, While it's no (haha) Metal Gear, the game does stand on it's own two (very pointy) feet. The reflective nature of your... frame (Jehuty) keeps you from getting tired of staring at it the entire game, and when you're flying around the stages, fly along the ground, the trails left by your feet are extremely accurate, and in cities, you'll even leave spark trails.

And Now, the bad.

1._About_The_Weapons..._ Well, after about the 2nd (of about 15, i think), they all become useless, seeing as just rushing in before the larger enemies can attack you works best, and does the damage. The worst part about this is that you won't find the parts necessary for some of your weapons until you've finished 1/2 the game. Kind of reminds me of my computer, obsolete before i finished paying for it...

2._About_The_Maps_(levels,_areas,_WHATEVER)..._ Well, they do look nice, and some have some distinction (a church in this one, a few broken robots on a hill in that one), that look pretty much the same, and are pretty small, maybe the size of the maps on "Armored Core 2". The + to this - is that you can destroy any buildings that bad guys haven't already.

3._The_Ending..._ I'm not going to ruin it, but if you payed attention to the story while you played it, even a little, the leave-you-hanging nature of the ending will just kill you! Also, you need to complete the game to be able to play the extremely simple multiplayer mode, devoit of any power-ups you obtain during the game.

Anticipated Game

This is a much anticipated game. If you have read Ender's Game the book you are wondering "what's in it for me"...Well, not much. It's basically Bot Wars. This is an awesome game though...take my advice. I played it for a lot of time. The problem is that you can beat it in like 5 hours. Here are some codes. Go to this website for a thourough walk through,,,BYE

This is s fun game to play though it lacks amazing graphics and amazing game play. This game is fun but it get's kind of hard... to hard for the average gamer. Also the games graphics turn sort of squarish while you play. The game concept is really cool. Your a person inside of a gigantic robot. So this game is fun while it lasts but eventually it gets boring. All in all people are only buying this game to get the free Medal Gear Solid 2 demo. The Amazing Rater

Finally, a game to rise above all the trash....

When I first heard of ZOE, it didn't interest me much, but it was worth my money. The only reason I bought this game is bescause I went to the store and found all kinds of... games. The only ones I considered buying were ZOE and Starfighter. So if your tired of all these dumb sports games pick this up, it's worth more than just the MGS: 2 demo. It's a fast-paced game with the best graphics I've seen on PS2 that'll get you interested quicky. Unfortunately, it's so fast-paced that the game ends before you know it. Unless you want to wait for a five star game like MGS 2 or TM: Black, then ZOE is the game to get. And unless your impatient, then I'd suggest waiting for a good sequel, without that little nerd.
