Shooter / Action game
Released in America as FINAL ZONE 2
( TGXCD1008 )
Final Zone 2 is a multi-scrolling shooter by Telenet.
The hero of the game and his friends are part of special army forces and the story
starts onboard a space station orbiting somewhere around Earth, or at least
a planet looking like Earth. Suddenly, things go horribly wrong and
the ship gets under attack.
The team get sucked out in space and land back on the planet and to make
things worse, they all land in different locations.
Final Zone 2 is an 'Ikari Warrior' kind of game where
the player takes control of a heavily armed character with unlimited
ammo and hardcore weaponry. As the game progresses, different members of the team can be
activated and played - as long as the player retrieves them from where they landed
after the explosion. The game features seven stages and short animated cutscenes unfold the
story as the game progresses.

member of your elite force into a walking arsenal of destruction, each
with its own awesome fighting power. But you're just five against a
renegade weapons society responsive for killing billions! Choose the
fighter best armed to face ZOD's devastating forces in each level of
combat as you fight battle after furious battle for the final zone!

Final Zone 2 is very disappointing. This is what Telenet
has to offer most of the time - correct graphics and in-game animations (even if
they tend to be on the ugly side here) but really bad
gameplay. Nonetheless, the game keeps reinventing itself and a couple
of nice surprises are sprinkled here and there.
The game's overall idea is also quite unique and retrieving your
team members one at the time is a fun feature - but, unfortunately,
little else is of any note.. I don't recommend this game,
or only if you find a really cheap copy.
