Renegade 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 I bought the first Z.O.E game when I first got my PS2, and like most people thought it was ok for a rental but it needed so serious work. Having some spare time I finally got the time to play the 2nd runner which I got in the summer and I’m really saddened and how the game turned out. The graphics are incredible, some of the best I’ve seen in a PS2 game thanks to Kojima’s budget. The musical score while not phenomenal is very fitting and many of the gameplay issues have been tweaked slightly for the better. The cut scenes are given an anime style which looks much more appropriate for a mech game. The voice acting is poor but I wasn’t really expecting anything better. The problem I have is that the game is brutally crippled by horrid camera angles, poor lock on mechanisms and some noticeable slowdown, so much so that the game can become virtually unplayable. I tried to like this game, I really did because if it was given just a little more time it would have been a superb game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 More precisely - Shinji-wannabe. AS for ZOE2, it wasn't bad. It's once again an ok game, but it definitely still could've been much better. But at least it was much better than ZOE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renegade 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Sorry but calling it a video game perfection of any sorts is quite laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
