Urge to destroy... rising...
In a surprising turn of events from a company who loves to rehash content, BattleTanx: Global Assault is a rather significant improvement over the first game. It's still very much a guy game, but hey, tanks are always a winning formula. You like tanks too. Don't deny it.
Tanx a lot, 3DO.
Now this is a guy game if I ever saw one. Tanks? Check. Explosions? By the truckload. Post-apocalyptic setting? And how. Crudely-spelled title? Of course. Rescue the chick? That's even a multiplayer mode.
Real combat, plastic men.
Now this game brings me back. A childhood friend of mine bought this game when it was available in stores, and he loved it. I wasn't really into it myself, but I still played the multiplayer with him and his brother, because they refused to play anything else if I didn't.
The little plastic toys take to the skies... er, more like ten inches off the ground.
This is one I got for I think $3 when GameStop was liquidating their stock of older games. It's a helicopter shooting game with a top-down perspective involving toy soldiers, and it takes place in real-world environments that are larger than life for the little guys. You take control of a helicopter from the Green Army and are at war with the supposedly evil Tan and Blue forces; there doesn't seem to be much of an explanation as to why these toys can't just get along, which almost makes it seem like the game has some sort of subtle social commentary. Almost. Let's not go there.
