If you can master the somewhat difficult controls, there is a great deal of enjoyment to be found in Zone Of The Enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars. Fans of the series should buy this immediately, and giant mech fans will also want to add it to their libraries. For others, it is certainly worth investigating, though the challenging controls might prove off-putting for some.

GIANT GUNDAMS + SUPER FAST COMBAT! Nough' said. More seriously, it's too bad there is no japanese audio still in this version - but then, this is basically your original game really neatly brushed up in 4K and VR - definitely not a remake. As a fan of the game, works for me, but not for everybody!

15 years later and slaying in VR - the style and flow of the game is incredible! Can't wait to see ZOE3

Zone of The Enders: The 2nd Runner MARS is a stunning remaster, with some problems about the VR mode.

A game that fans of the series and old school gamers mustn’t let escape. Great combat, adult plot and anime scenes build the identity of this classic from Konami, plus the VR and 4K technologies. A cult game has arrived on PS4.

Konami wants to show its best past, but the company does it by eluding the original creative team. Zone of the Enders MARS: The Second Runner works well with virtual reality, but we miss some extra content and more effort to maintain the cult work.

The addition of PSVR is gimmicky, but fun, with VR shining in cabin-based games like this one, was re-jigged to be. The rest of the game despite showing its age heavily in places manages to feel a fresh experience, as surprisingly nothing has really come out in all this time that comes close to how slickly agile aerial mech combat feels here.

A faithful remaster of a game that time has not been kind to. It fails at modernizing it for 2018 standards, making it feel like a clunky mess to play. It pains me to say this because of how beloved the series is.

The mech are soooooo smooth! I can't believe slashing giant robots feels this good are so many years, the remastered look really is looking sharp. Wish it was longer - but if you're into fast battle and japanese game, treat yourself!

A slight bit dated by the standards of the late 2010's, but a faithful port of the 2nd hidden gem in the Zone of the Enders series. It is a slight bit clunky still, which is the only thing holding it back from a 10/10, but I felt nostalgic, early 2000's, late 90's Mecha charm from this game. And the fast pace action helps this game feel intense, and like an interactive anime. And being produced by the legendary Hideo Kojima means that the story is going to have a lot of depth. A must play for mech fans.

I don't know why so many people have problems with the PC port. It works very well for me, and it's definitely one of the best games from the Ps2 Era

Попытка в очередной раз продать ту же самую игру. А мы и не против. Игра великолепна, сюжет отличный, что ещё надо? Если когда-нибудь хотели поиграть в этот малоизвестный шедевр Кодзимы, то это лучшая версия.

Very smooth and addictive mech game... play this if you loved the original on PS2. Misses out on 10 due to some lazy voice acting and poor camera angles.
