ZOE HD EDITION

The first installment in the Zone of the Enders series introduced a new feel to the mecha genre of gaming. Produced by Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Policenauts, Snatcher), directed by Noriaki Okamura (Tokimeki Memorial drama series), character design by Nobuyoshi Nishimura (After War Gundam X), and mech design by Yoji Shinkawa (Metal Gear Solid), Zone of the Enders was sure to be approved by fans who enjoyed KCEJ's previous hit for the PlayStation.

With its amazing control scheme, memorable soundtrack, and creative mech design, Zone of the Enders showed potential to be one of the top mecha/action games of our generation.


Though Zone of the Enders is more remembered for its inclusion of the trial version of "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty", its developing plot and unique concept of gameplay, coupled with the revelation of an important mission one of the main characters has to complete, had fans dying for a sequel.
