Phenomenal graphics, game play, controls, and story

I'm not sure I understand the other reviews here. Sure Metal Gear 2 is going to be a great game but that's not why I bought Zone of Enders. What you get in this game is the most beautiful realization of what a PS2 can do not only graphically but an awesome RPG-esque story line as well, combined with tight controls and eye popping action. And no I'm not an easy-to-please video game player and neither am I someone who gushes good reviews about lame games. Z.O.E. is definitely worth the money. Otherwise I wouldn't be up at 3:00 AM in the morning writing this review about a game that I just stopped playing 5 minutes ago when I have work in 3 hours. If you want an original game play interface, 360 aerial mecha action, and want to exploit the power of your PS2, this is the game to get right away. And I mean now.

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.

Awesome

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.

A Game for the Anime Fan

At last a game with mech combat that doesn't make you want to throw your system out of window, ala Armored Core 2. Zone of the Enders is a game that brings in a control configuration much like Metal Gear, thank god. The action is incredible fast paced and furious. Yet the challenge comes in trying to prevent damage to building where civilians are currently located as well as stay alive.

The Story is quite interesting, although very reminisant of "Gundum 0080: War in the Pocket", "Neon Genisis Evangelion" and "Gundum Wing". This is partly due to the fact that the story is writen by the same man whom wrote "Gundum". You play as a emotional damaged young man whom has just seen his friends killed and could not save them. While running from the carnage of war he finds a proto-ytpe mech that he must piolet to stay alive, and to protect the future of mankind. Some nice plot twists and great characters truely make this a classic. I will put a warning that this game is quite dark and contains some scenes of graphic war like violence and language. This game is more for the 15 and up crowd.

If you want a game that truely plays like an anime it just does not get any better!

The Game Is Better Than the Demo!!!!

I'm sick and tired of people saying that the only good thing about this game is that it comes with a MGS2:SoL demo. Although the demo is good, ZOE is more fun and, shall we say, more complete! This is an excellent game, it mainly focuses on action. It has unbelivable graphics, no detail is left out. One really cool and original feature this has is durring each level there is a Survivor percentage (starts at 100%). And if you blow up a building then the percentage goes down. If you leave a stage where you blew up a building, it will stay obliterated. The sound, mainly fast techno, is really good and fits the game great. ZOE also has tons of replay value because once you beat the game you unlock a Versus mode where you can play against the computer or another person. This is one great mech game. Take it from me, I got this game in a blink of an eye, and before that I hated mech games. So, what are you waiting for? Go buy it! But, not for the demo!!!

Great

Kojima done it again. I never played this type of game...whatever that may be. I rented this game in hopes of playing the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo, but then I found that it was on another disc. Curse you, local video game rental shop! I just sat down, really dis-enchanted. Then I decided to play it, I didn't want to waste my five dollars. I turned it on, went to the fridge, saw the Playstation 2 graphic, talk to my mom, saw the Konami thing come up, walk to pick up my shoes...But then I saw the opening video and just stop dead in my tracks. It was amazing, I've never seen anything like it. They were the most gorgeous graphics anywhere. Metal demo solid gear snake....liq..* I need not worry about the demo anymore. This is good enough. I finally got into the actual game play. The controls are perfect. Very tight, and fast. The plot was hard to follow, but you begin to understand the theme of life and death later on in the game. It has that smart script, which, to me at least, makes great games. The only thing that hurt me so was the length of the game. I beat it in 4 hours 9 minutes and 1 second. I played it straight through, I had no memory card. But it seemed long enough for everyone wanting to watch TV. Well anyway, you need to get this game.

Good game but....

I think the game is good overall. It has nice graphics, good enough sound effects as well as a deep storyline. Also its very easy to manuever the Jehuty. In other words, a good rapid non-stop action game. The only drawback in the game is the fact that it lets you wanting for more in terms of storyline. Just when you think the story is going to get deeper and better, the game's over. And, for you hardcore gamers, play the game on its maximun difficulty, or else it won't last long.

ZOE

This game is one of a kind. Its very faced paced, really unlike any other mecha game, and if you like any MS Gundam stuff, you will definetely like this game. This game definetely deserves a 4 star rating (I'll tell you why I gave 5 later). It sports some great graphics (once again, that can be improved greatly with the monster 200 or 300 cable), has great gameplay and a good story. Downsides are that it has a lack of enemy diversity and the enemies get to be repetative and that it is very short.

Heres why I gave it a 5. METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY DEMO! Thats the ONLY reason why it got a five! I'm telling you this is one of the best parts of buying this game! The demo sports great gameplay, GREAT graphics (look pretty sharp even without Monster cable enhancement) great music by the guy who did the music for enemy of the state, and lots of replay value. You will want to play it over and over. If you do everything, the demo will take you about an hour to complete! Buy a gameshark 2 for some extra treats also! But of course this isnt just a 50 dollar demo. ZOE is a good games aswell.

MUST BUY

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.

Zone of Enders is too SHORT!!

What is up with the ... demo that came along with Z.O.E.?? Konami could've extended Z.O.E. in place of the demo that came with it. The game would've been maybe 10-20 hrs long!! GeeezzZZuZ ...! This game isn't worth ... but the graphics and story is. Konami could've done better by keeping the customer satisfied and happy. I was happy when I first played it but I was FURIOUS after the game was over. It didn't meet my expectations. I smell a rotten egg. I believe this game is going through a beta test to find out the comments and problem encountered before creating part 2 of the game. I was reading through GamePro magazine and found an article on the next Z.O.E. 2!! This next one will surely satisfy the fans because it will include 3 disks in it and maybe another demo, graphics will be 10x better than previous Z.O.E. and longer play time. Konami said that the whole point of the first Z.O.E. is to catch any bugs before launching the big Z.O.E. Yes you got it. Part two will be out late 2001 or early 2002 for all Z.O.E fans! This one will kick your ... off the couch.
