Good Games You Never Thought of Playing vol. 2


ZONE OF THE ENDERS : THE 2ND RUNNER






High Speed Robot Action. That four words sum up to ZoE 2 the 2nd Runner. This is a game made by Hideo Kojima and the legendary team behind the famous Metal Gear series.

In this game, you'll gain control Orbital Frame Jehuty, a giant mecha that moves at lightning fast-speed. The animation in this game is very fluid and the anime like visual effects are
jaw-dropping awesome! There are also wonderfully done anime cutscenes in between to narrate the story.







Mecha fans will definitely appreciate this title. Haha for people who just pick it up...i think controlling Jehuty will remind you of Freedom Gundam.

This game promises tons of fun. Sadly though, there are a bit issues that's holding it down. First off, the game is incredibly short. The storyline could last only 5-6 hours and and you can definitely finish it in one seating.

Still, the game make up to this by providing a VS. Mode that you can unlock after beating it once. in VS. Mode you can unlock and play as enemies Orbital Frame and duke it out against CPU or another player.





Another issue about the game is its horrible dialogue... Nothing is wrong with the voice acting i think, its just that the dialogues are so poorly written. When you hear a gruffy old man saying "Dingo, I love you. Come back." you know something is not right here =_=;

However, despite these minor flaws, Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner is still one of the best PS2 title out there. Mecha fans who havent try this should really pick this up.
