Zero Divide 2 is a 1997 fighting game produced by Zoom for the PlayStation as the sequel to Zero Divide (1995). The game introduces new characters, walls in arenas, and breakable armor.[1] It has an increased frame rate of 60 per second.[2][a] Zero Divide 2 was released in Japan and then in 1998 in PAL regions, and was followed by the Japan exclusive Zero Divide: The Final Conflict for Sega Saturn.

Characters

[edit]

In addition to the eight returning characters from the first game, new characters are: Pixel, Cancer, Nox, and Eve.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Critics had claimed that it was not too different from the first game[6] and that it was outdated compared to contemporary fighting video games.[7] British magazine Play criticised the game and asking why Sony would release it so soon after Tekken 3.[8] German magazine MANiAC, in a retrospective review, called the polygon look and combat "unspectacular".[9]

In Japan, Famitsu gave the game a score of 31 out of 40.[1]
