Oh boy. Another mech game. Where things blow up.
But wait! See that light? That’s heaven, baby. Mech heaven.

This game is AWESOME. Well....almost.
This game has a plot. If you want to call it that. It’s paper thin, but I don’t think you’ll even care while you’re having so much fun making things explode into tiny, bite-size pieces.
Mmm....mech chips. Yummy. Yo, you got fiddy cent? I need to buy some mech chips, yo.

**cough** Anyways....
Pretty much, there’s one sword attack button, one long range, one button for flying, and one for using special weapons that you can collect throughout the game. There’s some other things you can do with each button as well, but I’m not going to get into that.

Space colonies have begun to be built around planets, and most of them also function as satellites. Hmm....I wonder if that means that when you buy a TV, that you automatically get satellite TV...
An army consisting of mostly unmanned Orbital Frames (the big mechs), called BAHRAM, has raided a Space Colony orbiting Jupiter (I think), and is trying to steal two powerful Orbital Frames.

So, pretty much, stuff happens, stuff blows up, and eventually you magically walk into the room where one of the Orbital Frames is being held. You get in it, and somehow, even though you’re just a child, and have no training in piloting a frame, you magically know how to pilot the thing....sort of. You button mash, and you kill your first enemy. Yay.

Now you get to talk to the frame’s computer, which just happens to be a girl. Great, so now I have a whiny little boy who pilots the frame and a computer that sounds like a girl. What else could a man need? Possibly a concussion? Anyways, the plot doesn’t really matter, you’ll be having too much fun blowing junk up.
The only thing that I found a problem in this game, was that sometimes there are so many enemies, the camera will get all screwed up, and you’ll die.
That’s right, it’s not your fault that you stink, it’s the camera’s fault.

The bosses in this game are awesome. You've probably noticed that I like saying "awesome" by now.
The bosses are huge killing machines, that make stuff blow up in an uberly fashion. Uberly.
If you’ve ever seen Gundam Wing, the combat is sort of like that. Except more awesome...er. Yes, awesomer.
Now, make sure you buy this game cheap, because this game is short. I mean, very, very, very short. I rented this game once, and I beat it the first day I had it. Yes, the first DAY.

But, there IS a sequel, and the sequel is more awesomer than the first one.
And yes, the graphics are awesome.
I give Zone of the Enders an 8 out of 10.


Pros- A mech combat game that’s actually cool.
Is awesome.
Is more awesome than the last time.
Uhh....read the review for the rest.


Cons- Extremely short.
Not much replay value.
Camera can be a tiny bit glitchy at times.
