Battlezone 2 gameplay1/31/2024 Actually, this installment of Battlezone could have been re-forged into a straight out action title and it would have been pretty great. Fortunately that’s most of the experience, and it’s shockingly fun. The most fun you’ll have with the game is in the more action-y segments. That’s because the main gameplay of Combat Commander is experienced from a cockpit. Of course, none of it actually plays out in that traditional way. As far as the strategic elements, you can issue orders, build structures, and otherwise do most things that you could in a traditional RTS. This might sound strange at first, but Combat Commander is a hybrid of real-time tactical and action/shooter gameplay. I can’t say I’ve ever actually played anything quite like it.īattlezone Combat Commander gives you command over a number of vehicles (eventually).

Since then, I still haven’t played a core Battlezone title, but I did play the PSVR spinoff and seriously dug that. ![]() I’ll admit that I never played a moment of the original games though, and that opinion was pretty much from just the way it looked in gaming mags at the time. Not that I bought it.īattlezone always seemed a little dull to me. ![]() It’s kind of funny too, but after reading that fact, I actually do remember the box art from seeing it at Electronics Boutique. Yes, this is apparently the sequel to the first Battlezone game. The original was called Battlezone II: Combat Commander. That’s because it actually did change a good deal of my opinion towards this game. Either way, I was totally unaware of this fact, but I think it’s important to keep in mind. Or maybe a “remaster” would be a better word. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.Īpparently, this is a remake. If you’re looking to play a game that will have you feeling like you’ve traveled back in time, this is the one. Combat Commander is reborn as Battlezone II returns in this remaster for the PC.
