User Rating: 9 | Battlezone 2600
By MasterChief725 | Review Date:
When an atari 2600 came into the kent recycling center, i thought i was blessed. A free classic console! With 36 games! AMAZING! Battlezone was the first one I played, and after all the time I have had the console, it is still one of my 3 favorite games on the console, along with classics PAC-MAN and DONKEY KONG. This game pretty much has you in the first person/third person perspective of a tank, and you have to go around shooting enemies. This game has excellent graphics, and a winning gameplay engine. It really makes the most of the 2600's hardware. The game gets extremely difficult very quickly though, even for us die hard 2600 gamers. I really had difficulty past like 50 points. But for free! What an excellent value. And now you can buy a 2600 with like all the games for about $25! If you have a 2600 and dont have this game, INVEST!!!

    This may be Atari's best arcade port. Not only does "Battlezone" have the same basic gameplay mechanics of the original, it actually has better enemy AI and you don't have to stick your face in a viewfinder sme... Read Full Review
