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.
