    Ragnarok's Zone of the Enders HD Collection (PS3)

    [November 11, 2012 04:58:06 PM]
    For my latest GameLog, I have decided to review my latest acquisition, Zone of the Enders HD Collection for the PS3. As the title would suggest, this is a compilation of Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner for the PS2 remastered in high definition. Since both games are quite short and similar to one another, I’ll review them both in one go.

    Both of the games on this disc are part of the Zone of the Enders series, a sci-fi/ giant mecha series by Kojima Productions, the same guys behind the Metal Gear series. In fact, the original release of the Zone of the Enders is best remembered for including a demo disc of Metal Gear Solid 2, and in a severe case of history repeating itself, the HD Collection contains a demo for the upcoming Metal Gear Rising: Revengence.

    For the record, both games do have a plot, but honestly it’s not that important to these two games. It’s kind of a shame, because said plots do have a lot of potential, but if you’re really interested, there are a couple of other pieces of Zone of the Enders media that could satisfy you. And if you really want some heavy handed drama, play some Metal Gear instead.

    What is important to these games is the action, and they deliver on every front in that regard. The series’ tagline is “High Speed Robot Action,” or as one of the online ads puts it, “Giant, Flying, Sword-fighting Killer Robots from Space, now for the first time in HD.” There isn’t much more that could be added to that, except to say you will indeed shoot, slash, and otherwise wreck stuff up, giant robot style, throughout both titles.

    While these two games may not have aged as gracefully as they could have, they are both short but oh so sweet games to play. If you have a fever for non-stop, over the top action, and the only cure is giant robots, then Zone of the Enders HD Collection is just what the doctor ordered.
