Editorial Reviews :
In Slave Zero, players control a gigantic mechanized man who trounces through hyperurban landscapes, destroying everything in sight. Notches on Mr. Zero's belt include motorists, helicopters, tanks, pedestrians, and an assortment of robots his own size.
Slave Zero does a great job of communicating the difference in scale between the main character and the comparatively tiny people, vehicles, and buildings that populate the city. However, the controls are very complicated, utilizing every button on the Dreamcast controller (including the stick and D-pad separately), as well as combinations of buttons for additional control, such as picking up and hurling cars. Screams and exclamations from innocent bystanders seem unusually loud, and the complete absence of in-game music exacerbates the already slow pace of the game. Still, some scenes are stellar, and worth wading through the mediocre spots in between.
Buyer Reviews :
I don't know what the problem is either with the really negative reviewers, but I've been following (and waiting for) this game for the past year+ and it's really good! I am very satisfied and look forward to playing through it a few more times.
The graphic style is dark and gritty and really stylistically cool, the main character Slave Zero is very well animated, as are the enemies and all the Slave Bosses, the city is like something out of Blade Runner or Judge Dredd, very realistic explosions and special effects, and it's cool watching all the cars and people swerve and run away from you. Plus, having all the buildings and bridges around you get destroyed while you're in a firefight with another giant robot is totally cool. The enemy robots dodge and swerve your attacks instead of just sitting there like most games.
The game controls just like you were playing Turok (or Quake), and ran just about as fast (I didn't notice any major choppiness... for those that claim the game gets down to 5 fps, i'd like to know how you got your machine to show that!).
The environmental sound effects are atmospheric and change from area to area... speaking of which, the game has a bunch of different areas as you move through the city and story so the art and enemies change also.
There are no other giant robot games out there like this one! Very unique, fast-paced action, fun!
I like the game. Recommended!
