yep, this game has been on my most-awaited list for a long time now. Sure to hell that I\'m getting this one. When\'s it out in Europe?

  • Top notch presentation. Great anime style cinema.
  • Frickin\' awesome mech design.
  • Terrific music.
  • Decent story.
  • So far so good, voice acting, unlike the first one.
  • Amazing graphics.
  • Hectic and fun combat.


So far. so good.
Edit

One complaint.  I am about three hours into the game and I checked an FAQ to see how much is left. It looks like I am over 75 percent thru. This game is short, but oh well.

(Note: After lookin\', there is a slo a bunch of extra missions I didn\'t know about, so maybe it isn\'t so short after all?)

Either way, I am in heaven. Great anime cinemas, anime story and excellent gameplay.

I just beat it. It took me around five hours, but I still need to go back through and unlock everything.

With that said, I really can\'t find many faults with this game. Sure, sometimes it resulted in button-mashing, but it looked cool as hell and felt cool, so who cares? The graphics and sound are both amazing. The story is a bit convulted and contrived, but its a videogame, so I don\'t think anyone expects much.

I\'d give it a solid 9.

They don\'t leave you hanging at the end like the last one, do they?

I never beat the original (it bored me to much). But, no, it isn\'t a cliffhanger really. Tho\', I am sure there will be another installment in the series.

The one thing I would of liked to see more of, was a more developed combo system. As it is, the combo system is very restricted and simple, which can sometimes cause the battles to get abit old.

04:47 and some odd seconds to be exact.

;)

Like I said, there is hidden "ex-missions" you have to find. I am doin\' that, it could add a few more hours to the play time.

I thought it lasted longer without the extras:(.

I expected the main game to be a lot longer than that.:rpissed:

Honestly, the lenght isn\'t that big of a factor, because you\'ll go through it again and again...I  mean, take DMC for example. It was, in basic sense, a very short game. However, if you wanted to become a master at it and unlock everything, the game\'s lenght became much longer...Zone of the Enders 2 is the same way...

Once you beat the game, you unlock four different versions of your Mech - each different.   Then you can raise the difficulity, if you want. Find the ex-missions, get S rankings on the missions and then there is always the VS mode.

ZOE2 is a brand new beast to me, since i\'ve never played or even seen the original in motion.  I\'m in awe of how fast and beautiful this game is.

Being a causual anime fan this game has me hooked with it\'s style. I absolutely LOVE the mech designs and how manuverable and dynamic Jehuty is. The fighting is pure button-mashing, but there is an element of strategy and planning that goes into battles that I love.

I still occasionally get mixed up with my controls, I guard when I intend to burst, and burst when I intend to throw an energy ball. I\'m sure i\'ll eventually get used to it. I\'ve heard it\'s a short game but i\'m sure i\'ll play through it several times, it\'s my new drug.
