Zone of the Enders HD Collection Review.


Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast on Monday afternoon and my god did it hit NYC hard. One of the things that it did not hit was the release date of the Zone of the Enders HD collection.

Zone of the Enders is a mech game released by Konami back when the PS2 came out the game was  Kojima's first take on the mech franchise. The game was a big deal because it also came with a demo of Metal Gear Solid 2. Two years later Zone of the Enders 2 a sequel hit the game was even a bigger hit then the first.

Fast forward 9 years and here we are Zone of the Enders HD Collection.  In the last couple of years the HD collection has been a great way for those who didnt get to play certain games and their sequels to play them.

Zone of the Enders HD collection is a great addition to all of the other HD collections already on the market. Personally these games were a big deal to me as a child and I am ecstatic to be able to play them in the current generation of gaming. In the collection you get both Zone of the Enders and its 2003 sequel. Along with the games much like the first Zone of the Enders you get a demo for an upan coming Metal Gear game.
Both games on one disc. Much like any and all current HD collections. 


Both games are both put on one disc as seen in the picture above the Metal Gear Rising Demo is also featured on its own disc and it is not a download code like other games have had cough cough God of War HD collection.
The Metal Gear Rising Demo. Like the Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo it is bundled with the Z.O.E games.

Graphics wise the games look amazing they are both up to par with all the current gen frame rates and such. Both these games are visually stunning and give jaw dropping visuals. I think that is one of the reason that they were such big hits not to mention that the stories were also awesome. 

The controls for the Xbox 360 version are some what iffy at first and they dont have a steep learning curve but the you will know that the curve is there. If anything though it doesnt really take away from the awesomeness of the game.

The Metal Gear Rising Demo stay tuned for a review of the Demo in the next day or so.

All in all the Z.O.E Hd collection is totally worth the $40 it is a great take on a classic and it will give a chance to the many that may not have gotten to play the games.
