I bought it a couple of hours ago, before school started. How's the story in that game?

Good and a very fun game all until it ends too abruptly.

The scenes and game play are both very nice, but when you've finished Z.O.E you need to play Z.O.E: The 2nd Runner. That game is 10 times better. ;D

I just recently saw a copy of ZOE in a store near me, so maybe I'm gonna get it. A friend of mine's got the anime (Idolo and Dolores), and I already completed The 2nd Runner several times, so maybe it's time for me to dive into the ZOE saga.

Most of the Earth's natural resources had finally been exhausted, and the tiny planet was unable to support the soaring population of humans. In 2045 mankind began to look beyond Earth for solutions and built the first Earth-space track orbital elevator. The "Space Age" had officially begun, and countries all over the world dove into countless research projects and space development plans. It was then that the human race created and discovered several new tools that would change life forever; the LEV, a pilot-controlled interspace robot; the resource Metatron, excavated from the Jupiter moon, Callisto; and the Urenbeck Catapult, a device which, by manipulating space, enabled hyper speed-travel. The discovery and invention of these so-called "tools" expedited the progress of the space development project resulting in an exodus into space; in the span of a single century, more than 20 million people took up residences in colonies on the moon, Mars, and as far as Jupiter territory. The transition from Earth to space seemed to be going smoothly - however, new conflicts were just beginning to materialize. Human beings left on Earth began to refer to these colonists as "Enders", a derogatory term for those "living at the end of civilization", expressing their prejudiced attitudes toward non-Earth inhabitants. In response, these immigrants, who were subject to discrimination on top of living in harsh environments, bonded together in their bitterness against Earth... and tensions between the two groups would only be magnified as time passed. In 2158, anger on the immigrant side culminated in the founding of BAHRAM, an anti-Earth military unit based in Vacilia County, Mars - and its subsequent clandestine invention of the Metatron "Orbital Frame", an entirely new type of LEV-like machine. From there, it was one tragedy after another. The Deimos Incident. Anterior Intervention.(Z.O.E Idolo) The threat of orbital elevator destruction.(Z.O.E Dolores) Since the advent of BAHRAM and the Orbital Frame, the already precarious equilibrium keeping the peace between Earth and space was rapidly falling apart. And in 2173, amidst the political turmoil, another ship filled with immigrants left Earth for the Zone Of The Enders...(Z.O.E Fist of Mars) Z.O.E Idolo, Dolores, and Fist of Mars can be seen as MG and MG2:SS. Z.O.E and Z.O.E: The 2nd Runner however are like MGS and MGS2. |

The day I had bought it my girl came over and she eventually staid over the weekend. We sat down to try Z.O.E., and in the end, she was the only one who had played. I still haven't tried... The rest of the weekend we played much Evil Twin, a great game I've come to learn. She's working on a review of it for the school paper.

I played some hours of it now, and I must say, it's a better game then I expected. Great graphics, super-fast gameplay and a good story. Just right now I'm stuck with finding the uncontrolled Raptor.

I also used to get stuck there, but a good game FAQ can always help you out. ;D

I picked up ZOE The 2nd Runner today. It's a fun game and the storyline is great, but there are some parts so hard that I want to throw the controller at my TV.
