    Battlezone is definitely one of those old games that has been vastly surpassed by present-day titles, but it still has the gameplay appeal to make it worth a look.

    Despite its faults, for old school gamers this trip down memory lane is worth the low price of admission, but for others it'll get tiresome quick.

    This is a rather sluggish shooter that demands a real love of the old arcade cabinet to really get excited over. But it is a nice trip down memory lane, still extremely playable, features some nice multiplayer options, and the enhanced mode is actually nice to look at and fun to play.

    You're left roaming the virtual landscape, hoping opposition might come your way. [Issue#33, p.117]

    One of Atari's better visual upgrades, but not nearly as much fun 28 years after it first hit arcades. [July 2008, p.96]

    Overall Battlezone offers little life span and just feels outdated.
  7. Totally360

    In conclusion, Battlezone joins that ragged band of Xbox Live Arcade titles that, even for a mere 400 points, don’t deserve to grace your hard drive.
