Hi all,

Got Zone of the Enders, and Star Wars Starfighter at the weekend... ZOTE came with a Metal Gear Solid 2 demo, which is absolutely amazing worth buying ZOTE just for that..

ZOTE itself is a great game if you like MechWarrior/Manga stuff.. Sometimes a its a little vague as to what you need to do next, but ultimately very impressive graphics and story line..

Star Wars is just brilliant, the controls take some getting used to, but its quite mad doing the space and ground missions, attention to detail in the later level is great and all the sound effects are there (as my flat mates realised at 2am this morning ).

Recommend both the above, and you just have to see MG2 demo, it is just amazing!

PS. i'd be further into StarWars if I could get my misses to let me play the game, rather than her, she loves StarWars...

Cool

Zone Of The Enders rocks ...

But my MGS2 demo CD doesn't work, the drive just spins and spins and spins

Anyone else having the same problem ?

Andrew.

AndrewW, its an acknowledged fault by Konami - its either the discs the demo came on or some manufacturing fault.

As for Star Wars, I can't say I was that impressed. Some of the graphics are nice, but its a bit 'SAMEY' plus I prefer X-Wings and stuff to 'Naboo fighters' - no character!

Good point DazV - the graphics can be a bit samey, and the controls a little hard. But I guess i'm a die-hard starwars fan, so like a muppet, will love anything that has 'starwars' in the title

Oh yeah, got Oni as well, again manga esk type game, but simplistic tomb raider style, again initially the controlls are a little frustrating, but well worth sticking at it, an excellent game, only let down slightly by the simplistic graphics (compared to the likes of ZOTE or GT3 or MGS2) and a slightly frustrating control system.

ATV Offroad is supposed to be the best game written so far for PS2, alongside SSX.

Anyone played it yet ?
