Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Remember Battlezone, that great vector-graphics arcade game that gobbled up our quarters as we strove to decimate as many triangular tanks as we could? Well, the remake from Activision is nothing like the original--but it is one heck of an impressive game. Shane Mooney's well-written and often humorous guide to Battlezone helps you prepare for the complex challenges of this new and exciting game. After providing a background on each of the game's unit types, the book moves on to mission-by-mission briefings. With the help of maps and screen shots, the book explains your specific mission goals and the tactics you can use to achieve them. An extensive multiplayer section wraps up the book, covering gameplay keys such as how to organize your forces, manage your resources, and prioritize your targets. Battlezone has come a long way since the early '80s, and this book can help you get up to speed in a hurry. --Michael Ryan

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overall descrpition of missions., August 10, 1999

This review is from: Battlezone, Official Guide to (Brady Games) (Paperback)
This book provides a good overall summation of the various missions that you'll encounter playing battlezone. The book lacks in detailed suggestions on the more difficult areas one encounters during gameplay. This is also true for the online gaming suggestions that the book offers. This is one of the finest online games created and there are numerous issues that could have been discussed that were not addressed. To be more specific; there is no discussion about the pros/cons of the various combinations of weaponry one could arm ones tank with.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cheat book., March 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Battlezone, Official Guide to (Brady Games) (Paperback)
Book goes over each mission well and provides a way to win it, BUT: Page quality is terrible. Looks like a 2nd generation xerox page. Vehicle and weapon section is drawn directly from the game, nothing new. Since this is a stragety game, there are numerous ways to win, and they only give one way. I would like to find a book again where they actually go thru stragety, etc. Provides about two pages of tip, but its under multi-player heading. If you can't seem to win a level, this book will help.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overall representation of game., September 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Battlezone, Official Guide to (Brady Games) (Paperback)
The overall presentation of the game was given in a general manner however it is lacking certain specifics and details. When playing online, the manual does not offer any advice other than the most obvious to describe stratagy / tactics. Such was the day I was playing against a little nobody named "KillSteve". He was the worst player. He kept coming at me with individual troops as opposed to having his men in tanks! The book does not address these types of stratagies. Or stratagies such as dealing with opponents who decide to SNIPE instead of fight it out like a man (Airjesus, descartes). Talk about lowly. Luckily, the book covers general enough topics that place you in the sort of scenarion that you can deal with unruly online players and squash them accordingly, such as I did.
