| Game Description |
"A colony hijack!? You're our last hope!" - A dramatic action adventure game in which you feel and experience the spectacular story while fighting the enemy in space with Jehuty -- a gigantic humanoid weapon "orbital frame". Can you save the space colony from the terrorist hijackers?
The 22nd Century, Solar System. The inhabitancy area of human beings has gone way beyond the lunar orbit and has expanded to the surface of Mars. Humans have also started to reach out to Jupiter for the procurement of natural resources.
The laborers work at the space colony "Antilia" which is located on the satellite orbit of Jupiter. These people living at the "End of the World" are referred to as "Enders".
Leo Stenbuck, an Ender boy and introvert living on Antilia, was forced to accompany his bully friends to the UN Space Force (UNSF) facility to steal from the junkyard and gets caught. At the same time, the fanatical military regime of Mars known as Z.O.E. takes military action in the form of a colony hijack. Antilia instantly turns into a battlefield. The other boys lose their lives right in front of Leo. Leo cannot deny that he has thought that "now that these guys are gone, I'd never get bullied again." He then blames himself for not being able to save them. |

Amazon.co.uk Review
Apart from the likes of the Mechwarrior series, mainly aimed at hard-core gamers, robot fighting sims have not really caught on in the West. Due to an extremely canny piece of marketing on Konami's part Z.O.E. comes packaged with a demo of the sequel to Metal Gear Solid , a serious candidate for best game ever and the game that introduces the delights of Gundam, Patlabor and others to a more general European audience.
Forget the derivative sci-fi back story: Z.O.E. is all about arcade action. Pilot your oversized Mech through dozens of encounters with other automated units all out for your blood. An element of strategy is added by the arenas you fight in, a cross between Judge Dredd's Mega City 1 and Akira 's Neo Tokyo--too much collateral damage to the local citizenry or architecture and it's game over. The graphics are astonishing: laser blasts and explosions fill the screen and no matter how many enemies you face the frame rate zips along. Like a lot of Japanese conversions, the longevity of the game is questionable, but while it lasts you will experience an adrenaline-packed arcade romp
But, in all honesty, a lot (a majority?) of UK gamers will be buying Z.O.E for the one-level demo of MGS2: Sons of Liberty . This is probably the most anticipated console game ever and will be a defining moment for the PS2--if the whole game lives up to the demo's promise then the wait will have been worth it. But if you have got Z.O.E. for the demo, make sure that you play the main game as well otherwise you will be missing out on an exhilarating if short-lived gaming experience. --Michael Bartley |
