In the original BattleTanx, play control was solid but not perfect.

Heavy fog can be distracting in wide-open battlefields, but most of the action takes place with a lot of buildings around to hide this effect. The single-player game runs at a respectable 30 frames per second, only dropping 10 frames per second during four-player action. Explosions are impressively dramatic, with slick fire effects and clouds of smoke.Īfter you destroy an enemy tank or a building, flaming debris rains down in all directions. Background graphics are more varied from level to level, and the tanks are much more crisp and realistic.

In all there are 22 new levels in BattleTanx Global Assault, including high-profile locations like Washington D.C., Paris, London and Berlin.Ĭompared to its predecessor, the graphics in Global Assault have greatly improved. This is nothing more than another excuse to blow stuff up, but this time around the action takes place in real cities around the globe with authentic landmarks to destroy. Things have taken a turn for the worse in BattleTanx Global Assault, as an evil QueenLord named Cassandra plans to kidnap Griffin and Madison's son to exploit his rare telekinetic talents. Interesting plot, but basically just an excuse to blow stuff up. Griffin Spade is separated from Madison his true love and battles across the country destroying tanks and capturing QueenLords. Worshipped as QueenLords and protected by gangs of men. In case you missed the first BattleTanx, here's a brief summary: A nuclear war blows up the world. The first BattleTanx had a solid single-player mode, but its exciting multiplayer action is what impressed gamers the most.
