  • Summary: Konami's "Z.O.E.", which just so happens to contain a demo of "Metal Gear Solid 2" (also designed by Hideo Kojima), features Leo Starbuck, an Ender on a space station orbiting Jupiter, battles to return a giant robot to its rightful owners while battling other pesky robots in the process.

    Finally a game that boasts graphics that we have been promised would come out of our PS2s.

    Short and to the point, Zone of the Enders is a beautifully presented and entertaining, if shallow, action game.

    It's kind of brilliant - but it's also a bit of an underachiever, considering what could have been.

    Fails to live up to the lofty Kojima standards but delivers a technically sound and smooth-playing experience.

    I absolutely love this game. This is a unique game, with great graphics, addicting gameplay, and overall one of the most interesting plots. This game is a great impression of the anime series. I love this game highly recommended. I can't wait to try Zone of the Enders: the 2nd Runner.… Expand

    Not terribly difficult, but the controls are perfect and the graphics are quite nice. Good for a weekend excursion.

    The game is nice, but it lacks when it comes to longevity. Anyone can finish the game in under 3 hours.
