NCS Product Synopsis
Update: March 30, 2007
«©NCSX» Mechanical beasts shaped
like recognizable animals called
Zoids clash and battle in
fast-paced 3-D fighting action.
A little too fast perhaps. There
is a learning curve here due to
the speed of the game but once
that's down pat, Zoids Struggle
is fairly enjoyable as a 3-D
fighter. Tomy touts the Armor
Break system which has been
borrowed from Sega's old
Fighting Vipers where the armor
of a Zoid breaks if blows are
heaped upon a certain point.
It's an interesting use of a
protection system but ultimately
moot in Story Mode because of
how powerful some Zoids become.
As a Zoids combatant racks up
wins, additional weapons may be
bolted onto the beast. After a
certain point, a Zoid simply
becomes too powerful in the
firepower department and
one-on-one matches stop becoming
reasonably balanced and turn
into a shooting game where
projectile attacks take
precedence over close combat.
Perhaps Tomy should have
staggered out the weapon
upgrades somewhat but as it is,
superior firepower decides the
outcome of every battle, every
time. This isn't a problem in
Versus matches between two
players however and only affects
the Story mode of the game which
leads gamers through the events
of the Zoids television series
and puts players in key battles
from the show's episodes.
