Battletanx

Description

.Amazon.com Sometimes a game with a preposterous premise ends up being extremely fun anyway. Such is the case with BattleTanx from 3DO. The story is a malicious virus has wiped out 99.9 percent of the world's female population. As the world collapses in nuclear chaos (huh?), the surviving women become leaders of vicious tank- driving gangs, who fight for territory across the former United States... oh, never mind. The point is: you have a tank, you're in New York, and you need to fight your way to San Francisco. On the way your tanks run a gauntlet of bridges, fortified towns, tunnels, and enemy tanks. You get to blow it all up. The scenarios are loaded with powered-up weapons like missiles, lasers, grenades, and mines, even tactical nukes. It takes skill and good aggressive tactics to win. Chances are you'll have a silly grin on your face the whole time. --Jeanne UyPros:Tank-bustin' funUp to 4 playersEasy to control tank and weaponryCons:Silly plot and hokey cartoonsMultiplayer options do not include a cooperative campaign mode Product description 2001 A.D. - The world as you know it is no more. A deadly virus has wiped out 99% of the female population and the few surviving women are now worshipped as QueenLords. You are Griffin Spade, warrior and Battlelord in a post-apocalyptic future. With only the BattleTanx at your command, you must save mankind from extinction! Fight your way across the wasteland that was once America and rescue the QueenLords from roving gangs of mercenaries and thugs. Review The year is 2001 and a terrible virus has nearly wiped out the entire female population of Earth. The few remaining woman left are gathered by marauding gangs who rule this postapocalyptic world. You are Griffin Spade, a warrior who's a badass behind the wheel of a tank. It's up to you to pilot one of three tanks: One is a light and extremely fast Moto Tank, another is the well-rounded M1A1 Abrams, and the last is the Goliath, which as the name implies is a behemoth with an incredible amount of firepower. With these three tanks at your disposal, it's up to you to head across the radioactive wasteland that used to be known as America, in an attempt to find your one true love. The 17 levels that you have to go through in the single-player game in order to accomplish your task are filled with enemy tanks and strongholds. Most of the buildings and structures within the levels can be blown up. And while blasting tanks and knocking down buildings with sheer firepower is fun for a while, it gets kind of old. But not to worry; the game is so short that you'll finish it long before that happens. How short? You can probably finish the game with little or no trouble on the default difficulty setting in just a few hours. However, while the game doesn't have a single-player mode that will keep you entertained for more than a day, its multiplayer mode is sure to keep you playing for quite sometime. In multiplayer mode you can battle with four players simultaneously. One of the coolest features in this mode that other N64 multiplayer games should have is the big split screen one of the players gets when playing with only three players. Whether playing with two, three, or four players, you can select from three different multiplayer setups. The first is the common deathmatch mode where you simply try to blow up your opponents. The second is called battlelord mode; in this mode your main goal is to try to collect your opponents' QueenLords, a kind of capture-the-flag mode. The last multiplayer option is annihilation mode, which is basically another deathmatch mode where the player left standing wins. All of these modes are incredibly fun, thanks to ease of control and lots of power-ups that can turn the tide of the battle at any moment. Visually BattleTanx isn't anything special. It suffers from some heavy fog, meaning that you can't see too terribly far away. The buildings and structures are fairly nondescript, and after a
