This game is an improvement upon almost eveything from the original!

Zone of the Ender: The 2nd Runner is the best mech/robot/orbitial frame game that I have ever played. If you like mech/robot/orbitial frame games you have to play this game, even if you didn't play the first one becasue their is a video summary in the main of the first ZOE. Even if you don't particularly like mech/robot/orbitial frame games you should play ZOE2 becasue it is so good. I've pretty much broken it down into pros and cons down below. Pros - New enviroments that aren't bland like the first ZOE - graphics are quasi cel-shaded which gives them a nice crisp look and it makes the special effects look really good also - anime cut-scenes to give it more of that anime fell that the first should have had - the music is very mood setting and makes the game seem more realistic - great voice acting - fun fast paced orbital frame battles - lengthy and tricky boss battles - great new gameplay elements that weren't in the first one like grabbing an enemy and using it as a human shield Cons - what kind of name is Dingo Edgret? - graphics still need to be a little crisper (higher resolution) - sometimes the music has a gunshot sound effect and you think there are enemies around but there aren't - a bit linear - camera is still a bit iffy
