Although
not a true copy of the Atari classic, Battlezone,
this takes the original game one step further.
The
original vector (wire-frame) graphics are faithfully
reproduced in this game, and provide an excellent fast
and realistic 3D effect. The theme of the game is to
blast as many of the alien craft as possible before
moving onto the next sector. There are lots of different
types of hostile vehicles, radar and gun emplacements
and even two sorts of flying craft, which are a far
cry from the missile, saucer and the two tanks in the
original.
All
the craft vary in intelligence, viciousness and number
of shots it takes to destroy them. When a sector is
cleared a warp-gate will appear. Go to this and you
will be spirited away to the next meanie-infested planet.
The
graphics are superb and there's a fantastic mission
briefing session. Sound is disappointing: just a few
bleeps and bloops and an ear-wrenching noise when you
are being transported to another sector.
