Zone Of The Enders: The 2nd Runner is a futuristic mecha action game that emphasizes on mid-air combat.

It improved upon the predecessor in many ways. The characters are now even more interesting than before and the mission design offers remarkable gameplay variety (escort through train tunnel, survive in army battlefield, take out enormous battleships, carefully maneuver through minefield).

The combat is better as well, with even more challenging enemies that now come with group leaders which results in great combat dynamic and adds a bit more tactic.

Also, the graphics are more beautiful, including a brilliant combination of 3D visuals and gorgeous 2D anime, the voice acting is splendid and the music is, simply put, near-perfection.
