Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars (GBA)

Status: Finished playing
I started playing this game on Monday 8 December, 2003  //  I stopped playing this game on: Tuesday 30 December, 2003
Current opinion of this game
Way too easy and no depth at all. Also, the loooong cutscenes are a drag.

I finished this around Christmas. There really isn't much more. It is definitely a game that had a lot of potential but the tactical combat simply wasn't. Too easy. Oh well, I can't really say that I'm terribly disappointed since I sort of expected it. (reviews where lukewarm). Pass this by in favour of Advance Wars.

I've played this a bit more and finished a few more missions. The game is still luke-warm by my opinion. It isn't really that engaging nor is it that hard. (I've finished all the episodes on the first try, without any losses) I like the "active combat" system..but it isn't that hard either. Maybe later on?
We'll see....

I'm quite curious about this game. It has very mixed reviews (from very poor too relatively good) and I picked it up for a bargain price. So far I'm not terribly impressed, there seems to be a lo there I might not be picking up yet..in particular all the weapons/options/configurations. I have yet to read the manual so we'll see if that sheds some light. I've just finished the 2nd scene for those who are keeping track. Also, I HATE the eternal cut-scenes though (fortunately!) if you keep the button pressed they flash through pretty quickly.

 
kudos for original design to Rodrigo Barria
