4.0 out of 5 stars A great game that was the sleeper of 1998..., January 5, 2000

I grew up placing my head into the "sight" for Battlezone at the arcades. Shooting my happy little green enemies with my little green bullets. So, naturally, I was interested in the souped up 90s version of Battlezone. I wasn't disappointed.

Activision took the Battlezone franchise and created the first successful hyrbid of Real Time Strategy (RTS) and a First Person Shooter (FPS). You've got all the excitement of a good simulation/shooter in the game plus a good depth of strategy.

Despite being a '98 game, it still looks pretty. It's also plenty challenging. I did get to a point, however, where I was tired of fighting the same old Bad Guy ships, so eventually I weaned myself from the game. I've heard the the game shines in multiplayer (death match).

If you're looking for an inexpensive, but good 3D title. This is a definite win.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe one day..., February 20, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Battlezone (CD-ROM)

There is only one game out there older than 5 years that I still feel the obsession to play to this day. The single player mode is enthralling, but the multiplayer is where this game shines. The factor that you had the ability to build your own maps to battle on was such a dominating factor. Now that the game is slowly dying, I am afraid that there will no longer be a game that has the amount of creativity at this level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A LOST GEM IN A SEA OF GAMES, June 9, 2001

This game is truly a Masterpiece of Stategy mixed with a First Person shooter. A lost gem and one worth finding. The ONLY drawbacks were you must keep video and sound card drivers up to date! It had some minor glitches with some drivers I had. I am running Battlezone on an AMD Thunderbird 1.2GHz with 512mb ram and a 3Dfx Voodoo5 video card and it looks AWESOME!! So for a game that is over 2-3 years old it still shines with the BIG boys!!
