    Battlezone treads a well-worn path in almost every respect of gameplay but still offers hours of enjoyment to any gamer, from the hardcore, who want to master their friends, to the casual, who can easily dip in and out of the pick-up-and-play control system.

    Other than hovertanks that are slower than your baby sister in her bouncy chair and a camera that the testers overlooked, Battlezone is mildly fun, in a "Jaws Unleashed", beat-your-head-against-a-wall sort of way. [Feb. 2007, p.86]

    BattleZone is fun for the couple of hours it takes to finish, but it's over too quickly.

    Once you've got over swearing at your tank, jumping back to the menu screen to try and pick another one or change weapons, swearing at the game again, and have settled down to try and make the best of a bad job with the crappy tank that you've got to begin with, something strange happens... you seem to want to keep playing.

    An action game with such gratingly imperfect action doesn't add up to much. BattleZone has its moments; we'd be lying if we said we didn't experience some fantastic moments during four-player games, but too often someone was complaining that he couldn't see anything just before he died, while someone else was noting how the tanks move slower than bicycles.

    Kids these days... for all the pretty graphics this game offers, it just doesn’t hold a candle to my good old Battlezone game from back in the day, when it comes to gameplay.

    Weaponry is dull and so are the contests - a mix of base capturing and amassing kills. Avoid like a landmine. [May 2007, p.120]

    Not too much here but tank-on-tank combat. A load of fun if you want a game like Twisted Metal, but somewhat slower paced (I couldn't Not too much here but tank-on-tank combat.
