    For the rest of the RPG fans, there are much better choices when it comes to playing a JRPG stateside; none of which involve importation.

    Steer clear of Zoids unless you’re a rabid strategy fan who has played through Atlus’ other lackluster titles or if you’re an ardent supporter of the franchise. Everyone else needn’t apply.

    This mech strategy RPG is rusty and dull.

    It offers nothing, not even to die-hard fans of the Zoids series, and certainly not to Xbox 360 owners who are looking for an SRPG to tide them over. It's rare I say this, but Zoids Assault is a game to avoid at all costs.

    After playing Zoids Assault, I really had to wonder why it was made or why Atlus decided to bring it over to these shores.

    A big mess of a strategy role-playing game, as it seems to fall short on just about every level. Fans of strategy games can easily overlook a lackluster presentation, but Zoids Assault also suffers a severe lack of appealing game play, making it hard to recommend to anyone.

    The only thing more unbelievable than the fact that Zoids Assault is a full-priced title is that they advertise downloadable content on the back of the box.

    Zoids Assault's gameplay is certainly challenging, but regrettably, it's for all the wrong reasons. [Nov 2008, p.78]

    Zoids Assault, while not a complete disaster, is something altogether worse. It's completely unnecessary.

    I can't imagine a good reason to purchase Zoids Assault.

It doesn't make the game unfinishable... but it is annoying seeing as no one has bothered to post the cutscenes online.… Full Review »
