Zone of the Enders


Over a decade ago, Hideo Kojima, a video game producer created the Zone of the Enders. A robot oriented game. One of the best selling game of Mr. Kojima aside from his Metal Gear series.  It was released in the PlayStation 2 and in the Gameboy Advance consoles. Main the character is Leon Stenbuck in the first installment and Dingo Edgret in it's sequel in which they shared a common Orbital Frame called "Jehuty". Jehuty has an A.I called "ADA". Unlike the PlayStation 2 installment, the Gameboy Advance version have a different story, It's was during the production of Orbital frames on Earth.

The first print of the first Zone of the enders includes a Demo disc of the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty while the ANUBIS: Zone Of the Enders was released in different special packages. Both installment was re-released many times until the release of the HD edition for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that includes both series in one disc.

My experience on this game was fascinating and I was able to finish both games except on the Gameboy Advance. The reason why I bought and finish this game was because a remix of Beyond the Bounds was playable in the Consumer software of pop'n music 8, a music simulation game from Konami.

Konami/Kojima Productions already released the HD edition of the both games in one disc for PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles last year. Though, I haven't play the game, some reviews online said that the game improved it's graphics and re-living the gaming experience for the first time since PS2.

Nowadays, both games are rare and expensive, selling those games for around $50 or more in ebay and a must haves for a game collector like me.
