Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Part soap opera, part space blaster, Battlezone has little to do with its original arcade namesake. The game delivers an impressive 3D world that requires as much strategic thinking as it does sharp shooting. An outstanding interactive tutorial helps spell out the broad bank of game controls. The mission-based levels found in the demo offer an entertaining mix of defensive planning and celestial carnage. But, considering the time required to master the tutorials, most capable gamers will manage to blast through the demo all too quickly. Still, considering the game's modest system requirements, Battlezone is a great 3D distraction for anyone running an older machine.Publisher's description
From Activision Value :Battlezone, the first-ever 3D arcade game, with its flickering outlines of tanks and enemies from the '80s, is back in a big way, complete with a story line. The space race was a lie; in the '50s, the U.S. and the Soviets discovered an alien technology that could be used in the construction of space-age war machines. This began the real space race--the one too brutal to televise. Now you're a part of this secret war, leading troops across the galaxy, hoping to control the alien technology before the Soviets do. Features include full-blown 3D warfare in a setting that vastly improves upon the original arcade design, full strategic control of more than 30 unique units, realistic first-person combat action, and oodles of Direct3D support for the hardware-enabled.
