Well, what can I say but that this game is and absolute must have. If you love the old style of mech warfare incorporated with fast and furious hack and slash action then this one is for you. Even If it is not to your tastes just get it for the Metal Gear Solid 2 playable demo which has to be the most anticipated game of all time. If you ask me there would have to be something very wrong with you If you passed up an opportunity like this, to not only own the coolest mech combat game to grace any console but the chance to get an early taste of MGS2.

Another worth while game

This game is the best in graphics for PS2. The Mechs are pure. Every thing is detailed including scenary. The camera angle has you always behind the Mech. Controls are really quik responding. Its a game were you will be amazed. Music fits well in the game. Tough puzzles to be solved so when you get a chance buy the Z.O.E stratergy guide. Overall Just get it. For the POWER. Another reason to get is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Now when you talk amazing graphics this is it. Probably better than Z.O.E. Otherwise the same. The game is intense with non stop action. So like I said get it.

Great game, could be better

Its is everything that it is said to be, great tunes and great play. But as with the PS2 there are still the aliasing problems. I drooled over the graphics and all the action, but the game was too short and easy. I was able to finish the game in a day, and with no guides and playing the game in a different language. Plus the story line was plain old, typical anime stuff. But for the many game and anime fans, especially Mechs and Robost. ZOE is a must have. As for me i spent a extra 100 bucks getting the limited edition, i dont know if it is available in the states, but the limited edtion comes with, soundtrack, DVD video, and art works. Do get the game but no guides, Youll end up getting laugh at, there game is pretty easy and straight forward.

Great Game

Zone Of The Enders is a great game even though i only bought it for the demo of Metal Gear Solid 2. Zone Of The Enders has some of the best graphics that i have seen on Playstation 2. You are Leo and you take control and pilot a giant Orbital Frame, to battle against giant mechs in this fast and furious action game. Try it in the shop and im sure that you will buy this game

Terrific game, great control/graphics

I've been waiting for a game with a bit more that the average PS2 games that are out there now. This game delivers on many levels. Just the fact that it comes with a PLAYABLE MGS2 is reason enough to own this. I own VO-OT for dreamcast and I personally this is way better. Not just a robot fighting game like VOOT.

The Best game so far

This game is the bomb. Im a hard person to please with a game but this one hit a grand slam. The graphis are awsome along with the deep story ,and sweet control. Not only is the game outstanding ,it even comes with about a 1 hour demo for MGS2 (Metal Gear Solid 2). If your thinking about buying a game I would strongly recommend this game to anyone.

Zone of the Enders looks like it's going to be one of the PS2's "sleeper hits". Everybody bought it for the MGS2 demo, but ZOE itself is quite the game:

Gameplay - Fast and furious. The premise is simple, as you fly around to various towns, clearing out enemy Frames (mechs), and saving the colonists. The control is extremely tight, and very easy to pick up, even if it does use every button on the controller (hey, controlling a full-size mech can't be THAT easy, can it?). The lock-on system during combat keeps you from losing track of your enemy, which is a good thing. During one-on-one combat, both mechs will be all over the screen faster than you can blink. There's also a large amount of different moves your mech (a prototype named Jehuty) can perform, ranging from simple gun or sword attacks to advanced sub-weapons or the unique "decoy", which can throw bosses off of your tail for a few precious seconds.

Story - It's a little bare, unfortunately. It does have some neat twists now and again, but the emphasis on this game is in the gameplay and action. The game is also a little short (can be beaten in under 6 hours), but this keeps it from getting too repetitive.

Graphics - Probably some of the best the PS2 has seen so far. While it doesn't have any antialiasing, it's at a high enough resolution that this doesn't really affect the gameplay at all. Even with all of the high detail, the game runs at a constant 60fps with some amazing lighting and particle effects. Watching the whole screen blur as you miss a shot and destroy a nearby building is impressive to say the least. EGM mentioned a while back that this game is the first PS2 offering that Dreamcast cannot duplicate, and I tend to agree. Extreme detail, lighting, effects, all running at 60fps and extremely FAST during battles.

Multiplayer - Yes, it has multiplayer deathmatch once you beat the game (which doesn't take too long, as I've said). The interesting thing is that there is no splitscreen: Both mech's are on the same screen, like a huge sprawling 3D fighting game. These battles tend to get very hectic, since human players offer much more unpredictable moves than the CPU players.

All in all, you can't go wrong with this game. It's short, but it's a very fun ride while you're playing, with some of the best graphics that PS2 has seen.

Oh, and it comes packed-in with a playable demo of Metal Gear Solid 2, but I'm sure you know that already. But this is a ZOE review, so I won't go into MGS2.

If you like the Gundam Stuff You love this game"It's True"

Being a Fan of Gundam Wing I really didn't Know what I was Expecting out of this game but I do have to Say, Like All the Reviewers It's A game thats Worth it Ecspecaily to the Gundam Fans Out there, When I was Starting to Play this I was thinking about "Gundam Wing" manly because Thats How the game Exactly Controls like, a Arcade Style Gundam Mech Sim. Rather than the Typical Cruddy Mech Warrior "Simulation" controls, It's Graphics are Quite good for a PS2 game and the Sound was Nice and Loud(which I really wanted because My PS1 GAMES SOUNDED BAD)It's got Voice Problems but What can you Expect from a Most Japanese entertainment "INDEED...." and It comes with a Metal Gear Solid 2 Disc (which if you loved the First one [which everyone did] You'll Truelly LOVE this demo) which all and all make it a good buy so If You want a Gundam Style game(only it's not a gundam) Go Buy it

You can never go wrong with Giant Robots

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.
