'Zero Time Dilemma' Review: The Best Game in The 'Zero Escape' Series
Jazz RosinNine people are trapped in an underground facility. In order to escape, they must play the deadly Decision Game. Only four will survive, and the other six must die.
Spike Chunsoft's "Zero Escape" series is known for its gripping storyline and unique gameplay. The latest title "Zero Time Dilemma" is no different. In fact, it is regarded as the best title in the series so far.
Take a look at the reviews for the highly anticipated "Zero Escape" title, "Zero Time Dilemma."
Destructoid - 9.5 out of 10
Destructoid praised "Zero Time Dilemma" for its storyline and excellent dialogue, a departure from the over-explaining script of "Virtue's Last Reward."
The escape segments in this game are easier than the puzzles on "Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors" and "Virtue's Last Reward."
The cutscenes are now fully animated, but was unfortunately hampered by the terrible camera angle and lack of facial movements.
We Got This Covered - 5 out of 5
Giving "Zero Time Dilemma" a perfect score, We Got This Covered recommends that players play through the first two "Zero Escape" titles before diving in the latest title, although it is not required to do so.
The site called "Zero Time Dilemma" a masterpiece, with an excellent storyline and rewarding puzzle sections. The decision-making part of the game can be "very tense and horrific."
The publication also criticized the visual style of the game, saying that the animations are stiff and comes off as rough. The quality storyline of the game more than made up for the visual presentation, however.
Nerd Much - 9.2 out of 10
Nerd Much called "Zero Time Dilemma" the best game in the "Zero Escape" series, praising its amazing character developments, notably with the returning characters from the previous titles.
Most of the endings will "shock, surprise, or make you scream at your Vita, 3DS or computer." There are a lot of unexpected outcomes, but the true ending gives the game an "amazing conclusion."
"Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma" will be available on the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita on June 28 in the US and UK, and June 30 in Japan. The game will also be out for PC on June 30.
