If you've never heard of Zoids, it's a Japanese toy line that consists of animal-like mechs that are exceedingly popular. It's spawned a few anime series, tons of manga, fanbooks, and unfortunately, games. In the eighties the toy line was released in America, but didn't catch on as well as planned. A couple years back Zoids made another Stateside debut with an anime series on Cartoon Network, as well as a line of models that you could collect and play with your friends every morning in the cafeteria. Like many fads, its popularity waned, and eventually faded into the background. Now, in 2008, Atlus has made the decision to release Zoids Assault for the Xbox 360, in a move that both baffles and repulses me, because this could very well be one of the worst Atlus titles-or out of any game I own, for that matter-ever."
Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece. Just a few popular anime that have video games , each a great anime and each with a game or two to pickup this holiday season. The gamer that loves anime deserves these titles this holiday season, but what are they, which games go with which anime for which system and are they any good? No worries, these licensced titles as well as a few others with anime themes will be listed below by system with a word on each. Some are good, others great, but all will seem just a bit better in the hands of a fan.
What can gamers take away from their experience with Zoids Assault? Well, first off, the strategy role-playing genre is still in need of a worthy candidate to make the genre look extraordinary again. Secondly, the developers need to hire better writers to create a campaign truly worthy of gamers' time. It's highly recommended that you avoid Zoids Assault unless you find it in the bargain bin. Until then, the only SRPG that has actually proved to be fairly decent was Enchanted Arms, so you're better off playing that if you haven't done so already.
LOL sigh...
All of their 360 games have PS2 graphics. Are they even making an effort to make the graphics look a LITTLE nice? I mean come on. Just make the games for PS2 while you're at it. They'll sell more at least.
In all truthfulness, I think this doesn't look like PS2 game, rather a decent - at best - looking game visually. I mean, comparing this to something like Front Mission, this is a major upgrade for the S-RPG genre. Then again, it really doesn't look amazing. Too bad I'm not a big Zoids fan =)
I was a big fan of the Zoids anime series when it was on Cartoon Network and really loved it, but I definantly don't see this game being any good.
Plus, Strategy games just aren't my thing anyways. I prefer real time Action games. This Zoids game would have been WAY better if it was something like Armored Core where it was an actual Action game.
This game will probably eventually be released on the PS3 as well, but even if it doesn't get released on the PS3 I don't care because I wouldn't buy it anyways since it's a Strategy game.
anime games don't usually turn out to well
But i love mechs and SRPG.
