brainyhacker's Full Review: Battlezone 2 for Windows
Battlezone 2
Battlezone 2 is a action/real time stategy game where you command unit and build a base to deafeat the enemy. There are two races in BZ2, the ISDF (humans) and the Scions (humans infused with bio-metal). Each race has about 20 3D units and 12 3d buildings, each with lots of detail put into it. There are dozens of weapons including different kinds of Machine Guns, Mortars, Cannons, Shields, and Rockets. Another thing that makes this game a classic is the beutiuful graphics and groundbreaking phisics. All of the textures are extremly well detailed to make a realistic look. Also there are many interactive objects over about 6 planets. The main campaign has dozens of highly detailed missions and a pretty good story to go along with it.
Sound
The sounds in Battlezone 2 are great, execpt for the sound the power generater. During the campaign the voice acting is so good that it really seems like the people are talking to you. The quanity and quality of the sound effects also makes and important mark in this game. Every weapons has a unique sound and everything to do makes a sound, from moving across a grassy plain or in the heat of a battle. The music is also adds a nice touch to the game because it is always playing and keeps the intensity going in the game. All in all Pandemic Studios did a great job making the sound for Battlezone2.
What you do in the game
While you are in the game you start off with a scout(Basic Combat Ship) and a reclycler(main base building). Then you build your base and defend it and eventually destroy the other player. I think that its cool that even when your ship blows up you are still not dead you just have to either call another vehicle to pick you up, fight as a pilot or walk all the way back to base. You can also build a relay bunker and then go into it and get a sattlite view of the terrain. The advantage to this mode is that you can command all your units from a top view. Another great feature is the ability to customize most of the units that get built with different weapons and armor giving the game another angle of gameplay. I highly suggest that you at leasy check out the demo of BZ2 and then youll want to but it, it only cost about $30 and you can get it for cheaper used. Ive seen it as low as $4 at Half.com.
I hope that my opinion has helped you make a decsion about Battlezone 2.
