ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : M∀RS / アヌビス ゾーン・オブ・エンダーズ : マーズ

Godawful port and also Denuvo. No real updates to the controls, Doesn't recognize important inputs, crashes a lot, has audio issues etc etc etc

One of the most unique action games of all time , it was really a great experience

Fun game that reminds me a lot of the original. It has plenty of nostalgia from the first game!

Really wanted to play this but the Audio is all broken and doesn't play right. Straight up disapointment.

I can't believe i played this game over 20 years ago.....

nope

This is the only other game I've actually played through in VR besides [b]Beat Saber[/b]. I picked this specifically because 1) I remember playing it as a kid and never beating it, and 2) VR and mech fighters feel like they were made for each other. Think about it: from a first-person perspective in VR, a mech cockpit is a perfect, natural interface and point of reference for your eyes. It's strange coming back to this as an adult. I remember getting through the first few levels before getting lost or stuck on a boss. I remember learning about bonus missions and secret boss fights through NG+ loadouts while watching my brother. I thought it was so cool that there was more hidden content, even though I could never get through all the normal content myself. As an adult, I hundo'd the whole game in 12 hours. I did multiple playthroughs, only skipping cutscenes on subsequent runs. I unlocked all the secret missions, did all the time/rank trials, and fought the secret bosses. Like, this game is weirdly short and packed with exposition. [i]Is it possible I used to be bad at games? What am I gonna tell my grandchildren?[/i] I want to call out one bonus mission in particular, a parody of [b]Gradius (1985)[/b]. It's a tad janky. Enemy movement and gunfire are tied to frames, while yours are fully real-time. So modern high-refresh-rate displays are at a disadvantage, to the point of being impossible. After struggling on 90 Hz, I looked up a video guide and thought, "Why are they all moving so slow?". This part doesn’t really take advantage of VR anyway, so I switched to a monitor and locked my FPS to make it reasonable. Despite its length, if you have any nostalgia for the original on PS2, or you're into anime or wild Kojima storytelling, I'd say it's worth your time and money when it's on sale.
