Listen "K J Arcade 26: Z.O.E. on PS2 – The Underrated Mecha Gem"
Episode Synopsis
High-speed mech combat? Check. Kojima drama? Absolutely. Welcome to the Zone.
In this episode of the K J and A Podcast, we fire up our PS2s and take a deep dive into Zone of the Enders, the 2001 sci-fi mecha action game developed by Konami and produced by Hideo Kojima.
We cover:
The lightning-fast combat and unique mech controls
The emotional story of Leo Stenbuck and the Orbital Frame Jehuty
The art style, music, and anime vibes that set Z.O.E. apart
How it was infamously bundled with the MGS2 demo
Its place in the mecha genre and gaming history
Whether it holds up in 2025 and why it deserves a comeback
Whether you’re a fan of fast-action, anime-style drama, or obscure PS2 gems, you won’t want to miss this nostalgic ride into one of Kojima’s most underrated worlds.
