I am amazed at this game. Not only is it twice as better than the origonal, it also offers some unique twist and will hold a much bigger audiece than the last one. For those who havn't played the first Zone of the Enders, the game has a movie in it that shows cut scenes from the first one. Knowledge if the first story is not really needed in general but it is tied to it, its amazing how this was done.
The Gameplay is what really carries this game. Its a solid action title with fluid controls making it easy to pull off nice moves and dive right into the intense action. A magnificant game in general.
