I would have liked to see more levels or much larger missions here. While the saving system does allow for a lot of breathing room, it was seemingly set up with a much larger game in mind. A few missions do take 15 minutes to a half an hour, but you are still looking at a single day completion here. You have a dozen or so missions and half of them require maybe 5 minutes to complete. Like the previous game, you could spend a single day and go through the entire game without too much of a problem. While this game does improve on a lot over the previous game, there is one thing this game simply couldn’t get away from: length. It allows for much more freedom of movement. This allows players to simply position the cannon in the direction of the enemy and fire. Essentially, the tank treads follow the orientation of the cannon while moving forward. In this game, turning moves the cannon left and right. In the previous game, the cannon on the tank is simply fixed in position. In addition to these improvements is the control style. The objective is to allow an auto-moving convoy to cross a level filled with enemies, mines, and other hindrances. While playing this mission, I couldn’t help but think this is not too dissimilar to the missile carrier levels from Blast Corps. Probably the most innovative, if annoying, mission is the protect the convoy mission. Another mission is an item collecting mission (both people and disks it seems). This includes missions that target a specific building. A number of new kind of missions make a debut in this game. ![]() While these missions do make an appearance in this game as well, it’s largely a tribute to the previous game more than anything else. This is ultimately a sort of capture the flag system. The previous game seems largely tied down by the Queenlord missions. By and large, this pretty much represents an upgrade over the previous game, that’s for sure.Īnother improvement this game makes is the missions themselves. There’s a few new weapons in this game such as the nitro boost, electrical bolts, and teleportation. This includes the stars left behind by enemy tanks, health boxes, swarmers, grenades, homing missiles and even the nukes. This is certainly an improvement over the previous free lives system where you are largely stuck with the M1 tank.Ī lot of the weapons from the previous game have made a return here. This allows sensible variety throughout the levels. If you want to tank control of a Goliath tank, that’s certainly an option on most levels, but you need to prepare to pay for it. If you want to stick with the classic M1 tank, you are certainly able to use it. As you earn more tank bucks, you are able to afford different kinds of tanks. Instead of lives, players operate with a sort of “tank bucks” system. That tank is a sort of souped up super Goliath tank that can teleport and has two automatic machine guns.Īn intriguing change is the fact that the free lives system has been removed. There’s a flamethrower tank, a hover tank that can drive over mines, and even the annihilator class tank. While a lot of the tanks have made a return to this game (such as the Goliath tank, the classic M1 tank, and the small machine gun tank), plenty of new tanks have made a debut here. From there, they begin a fact-finding mission on what these new powers are and how to stop Cassandra and her army.Ī lot has been improved upon from the previous game. Left with no choice, Spade and his family flee town. While Spade and his army are able to fend off the attack, Cassandra uses an unknown power to turn Spade’s forces against him. In January of 2006 (heh), San Francisco is attacked by unknown forces. Griffin Spade and his family has settled in San Francisco and began rebuilding after the events that happened in the prequel. It only makes sense that we give this game a try. ![]() We also played the Game Boy Color version of Battletanx and found that to be a pretty solid game. It is the sequel to the game Battletanx which earned a huge score here. We find out how well this action game plays. In this review, we get ready to level things in the N64 game Battletanx – Global Assault.
