GC: Zoids Versus  JPN  US$58 each  SOLD OUT/PREORDER
   A fanatical fan base exists for the Zoids franchise and it was with frenzied anticipation that these enthusiasts awaited the Gamecube Zoids Versus release. Billed as a 3-D fighting game featuring the Zoids mechanoids, ZV pits players against each other in Versus mode or against computer controlled contraptions. Zoids are mechanical animals guided by human handlers which may be upgraded with bolt-on parts and other performance enhancements. In our test drive this morning, we found the gameplay surprisingly up to snuff with expansive environments to run 'n gun in as well as competent enemy AI to contend against. When playing Mission Mode, a player starts the game in a hangar with a partner, a couple of Zoids and 30K credits to use on weapons or enhancements. Early enemy Zoids are fairly simple to destroy but the opponents become increasingly more difficult to dispatch. Each kill rewards the player with credits. For the katakana impaired, the menus and weapon names are in English but conversations in the game are exclusively Japanese.
