Zone of Enders HD collection

I'm really tempted to pick up this game, but I've never played a ZoE game before.I love Mecha action games so I want to try this one out, I know its pretty hard to get a copy of the game for PS2 now hence why I think this is a good chance to pick up the collection.

Do you think its worth picking up for someone completely new to the series?

I'm really split on this HD collection. I played #2 and loved it. But with both games combined, you might only get 10-15 hours of gameplay. I'll eventually get it when it reaches the $20 price range.

it comes with both the first game and the sequel + rising demo

so if you like it...this is the best time to get it

I allllll-most picked this oe up yesterday... I saw it, and was all "ME WANT!!!" - But then I slapped my own wrist and shouted "NO!"

You shoulda seen the way people looked at me... It's as if they've never seen a conflicted geek with profound psychological issues in a GameStop before...

:D

ZOE2 is a classic. It's a great action game that's definitely worth playing. Unfortunately it has major FPS issues on the PS3 because Konami handed to porting job to some shovelware developer that half-assed everything.

You sound painfully embarrassing and awkward to be around.

agree, number 2 is epic. i picked up the collectors edition of this because i liked the 2nd one so much on ps2. its got a cool story and is epic among mech games. the guy above doesn't know what he is talking about.

i'm hoping for a zone of the enders 3 soon!

40 bucks is way too much. Way a little bit when is cheaper.

Well you never need to worry about that, now do you? I wouldn't hang out with you if you were handing out $100 bills. So back at'cha, sport.

For people who own it already, do you experience problems with framerates? It says so in the review here but then I looked on YT and I couldn't notice any issues. Feedback will be appreciated.

ZOE1 wasn't all that good. But the story in ZOE2 made it worth buying. I don't know about this HD pack, but the original ZOE2 came with a movie that pretty much made ZOE not worth buying, if all you cared about was seeing the storyline. As for replayability, nether really have any of that. Although. you may revisit ZOE2's story every 2 years or so, like you would an old movie.

As for gameplay, the games were easy to play. They play more like a fighing game than anything else though. ZOE's gameplay were mainly time attack modes with grade ratings and getting a good ranking wasn't easy. ZOE2 pretty much eliminated all of that. ZOE2 only had one or two missions that had a rating system, the rest of it were mainly boss battles and progressing to boss battles. The combat puzzles, could be a P.I.T.A., though.

Runs around 30 fps on ps3 and about 40 fps on 360.. The port was done by high voltage software who is one of the worst developers out there... :'( Konami.MethodManFTW

Hmm.. It's not too bad I guess but it might have some trouble when a lot is going on in the screen. I just have to find out for myself. Thanks for the info.
