Post by: kopking on March 14, 2001, 10:13:37 AM
has anybody played either armoured core 2, shadow of memories or zoe. As im in the u.k and these games havent come out here yet, and there arent many reviews for them. i want to get them but am stuck on which one to get first, so if you have played them tell me how good/bad they are:D

I have played Armored Core 2 and it is definatly a game with a learning curve.I liked it very much because it gave em no end to the customization options. On the easy dificulty I found it hard to survive. and I have yet to beat it on hard. As for Shadows and ZOE, they have not yet been released here. I wil tell you thought that all are great games. Get them in the order they are released. If you are tight on money or they all release on the same day. Then I would have to Recommend ZOE. Simply because it sounds like a better game then Armored Core 2 and it also comes with a MGS2 demo.

From those choices, I would buy ZOE, as it definetely interests me the most + there\'s an mgs2-demo coming with it :)

shadow of memories could also be REALLY good, as a game ( but it\'s about longetivity and re-playability ).

Me still wonders about Armored Core 2 \'tho.

But, for now, I\'d go for Zoe. Just read some reviews.

It has got:


What more could you want from a game, eh? :)

tha game guru will answer your question, i have played armor core 2 and its a great game, i love mech games, and if your into those type of games them, it might just be worth renting but not buying, there is to much slowdown, and i mean slow slow down, i would definatly recommend Z.O.E. because it is a mech game like armoor core 2 but much better, and t evemn coems with mgs2 demo, but if your just gonn aget it for the demo, then your smokin crack :) shadow of destiny, has been getting some great ratings and desreve a look at before passing up this game.

bottom line:

if you want a straight on fighter with no apparent story line then get Armor Core 2,

if you want a great Mech title with a beautiful story and action, get  z.o.e.

and if you are into adventure game, puzzles and that sort of stuff, look into Shadow of Destiny.

Shadow of Destiny of Z.O.E.
I have Shadow of Destiny and am getting Z.O.E, but so far Shadow kicks total ass.

I played Armored Core 2 myself and it is a really good game, but with Armored Core 2: Another Age not to far away I might suggest you wait for that one

Shadows of Destiny is highly liked, ZOE is getting great Reviews and has a 2p mode but is short

well actually if you play thure the entier game and actually enjoy it without rush, it will take about 10 hours to beat, but if you skip thrue all the CG  and you rush thrue it, it will take about 2 hours to beat, so depending on your patience and how fast you wana beat this game, the length is up to you

cheers its helped a bit....but so many choices, they all come out within the same week( in the u.k) i think im gonna take oni back today, so that i can get all three, but if i had the choose zoe and shadow of memories are they ones i want, but i did like the original armoured core.... and no-one the  bouncer doesnt come out in the uk for a while now, but ive heard some bad reviews for it, still prob get it though.... Just seen a dvd of extermination it looks so cool,cant wait for it to come out
