Zone of the Enders for PlayStation 2

Pros: Big mecha combat...the one fight in the room with boxes.
Cons: WAY too short, repetitive, easy, plot, dialogue, and Leo.

Remember all the hype that had been building for that Robotech game that was supposed to launch for the N64 all that time ago? No? Then you're probably too new school. I remember the hype. It stuck with me. I had been waiting for a game to come along...

Pros: Great graphics and sound effects, some cool ideas, fightin' robots is cool.
Cons: Gets old fast, bad voice acting, no where near as good as the MGS2 demo...

Much in the same way little kids love screaming "hymen," the tykes also love huge mechs. And why not? Who in their right mind wouldn't love controlling a huge robot in battle? Who in their right mind can watch stuff like Policenauts or Evangelion and not...

Pros: You can blow up everything in arms length, comes with MGS2 preview
Cons: Poor control, bad voice acting, mediocre graphics, robots need a paint job

I guess it makes sense that video games now come with demo discs, which are just trailers for other games. With all the push towards making games into interactive movies, complete with short running times, it seems logical to pack games with trailers,...

Pros: ZONE OF THE ENDERS
Cons: METAL GEAR SOLID 2

This Epinion includes both the Write-Off Epinion, on METAL GEAR SOLID 2 demo, and also the one on ZONE OF THE ENDERS. To view the Write-Off go directly to the part followed by the stars.

Note: The score on this game is for both together; to...

Pros: Magnificent graphics and sound. Great sound. The mechs and awesome. Relatively easy game play.
Cons: The annoying voice of the main character. Entire game's too short.

Why am I writing a review for Zone of the Enders?

Well, this is the first game I bought for my Playstation2, so there you have it....

Zone of the Enders is a highly anticipated "mech warrior" game from Konami that's...

Pros: Aggressive combat. Good plot. Good control handling. Good overall idea.
Cons: Lousy voice script. Too short. Little suspense.

I was taken by surprise alright. When the game just ended without warning. As with most of my PS2 experiences, this was a rented game; And thank god! While the game is definitely addictive, it lacks big time in some of its major departments.
...

Pros: Amazing graphics; lots of attack moves; tight control; boss fights are cool; (MGS2 demo)
Cons: Gets mind-numbing after a few hours; lame story line/ voice acting; (MGS2 demo too short)

Hideo Kojima. His name is synonymous with great games that feel like movies, due to great writing, above-average voice acting, hauntingly beautiful music, and incredible graphics and game play. Anything this man touches can be considered fine art, and if...

Pros: Smooth controls, nice graphics, enjoyable story, challenging but not too challenging, addictive two-player mode
Cons: Repetitive gameplay is the only thing keeping this game from five stars.

Few game designers can be mentioned in same breath as Shigeru Miyamoto and Yu Suzuki, but one name that always comes up in conversation is Hideo Kojima, producer of Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation. Busy working on Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Ease of Play, Camera, Smemi-like the story-line, MGS 2 demo
Cons: Too short, Too little vairety, Amored Core 2 is way better than this

Zone of the Enders is a game where play the role of a small boy, named Leo who is living on a space colony, named Antilia which is located near mars. Too bad Antilia is being attack by a band of Orbital Frames [simpler term: Mechs] and while this is...

Pros: Nice graphics, decent voice acting, fast learning curve
Cons: Where's the story??-Where's the rest of it??-And who do I complain to??

Well, I bought this game with the same intent all my friends did, to play the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo!! Lame I know, but I figured that this game should at least hold me over until the MGS2. I was wrong. I mean, really wrong. I cannot give even the least...

Pros: great graphics, good sound, good story, comes with demo of MGS2, easy to control
Cons: extremely short, story sometimes too preachy

Let's face it, 95% of the people who bought this game, bought it for the MGS2 demo. If you don't know what Metal Gear Solid 2 is all about, buy this game now. The demo is worth the fifty bucks. But the game is also pretty good.

Zone of the...

Pros: Great graphics, controls, Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo included
Cons: Too short, weak story, characters(Leo), repeative gameplay, multiplayer mode

Zone of Enders is a pretty good game for the PS2, but it falls short of being a masterpiece of a game. Produced by the well known Hideo Kojima, the man behind the Metal Gear series, Zone of the Enders brings a mech game out like no other. First and...

Pros: haunting intro music, weapon selection, well-realized game environments
Cons: game balance needs work.

Now that Epinions has finally created a product page for ZotE (honestly, why the delay, E?), I can finally post my thoughts about this one. Here was a game that I really wanted to be everything I hoped for and then some. But, ultimately I have to agree...

Pros: Plenty of destruction lights the world up in beauty. Great story and music within!
Cons: The game's not long enough...I can't wait for a sequel.

Forget about Gundam Wing! Forget about Armored Core even (that's even hard for me). Engage yourself into a new mech war that'll compel even the most blind person alive. And ready up for a furious fighting action game called Zone of the Enders.
...

Pros: Great control, graphics, sound, and story.
Cons: A bit repetitive after a bit, short

I was always a big fan of sci-fi anime. Give me a blue haired girl with eyes the size of basketballs and some huge robot destroying half of earth and I am a happy man. I had never played a game based on mech anime that I ever really enjoyed until I...
