A Nukerific Game!

Pros The action exorbitantly aggrandizes the interest in playing and there';s a capacious legion of levels.
Cons It's not a punctilious game. The levels and technology are illogical and out-of-proportion.
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  It';s an elaborately rugged, all-out-action, blow everything up, annihilation game. And yes, you do get to save the world.
Battle Tanx is a truly rugged action game. It's a game that exploits the use of nuclear bombs, missiles, lasers, and many other radiation-related biological weapons. Even though its intent is typical, your militia against many other regiments, the game and storyline is not. Battle Tanx is one of the few games that lets you ferment against your enemy with absolutely no consideration about using strategy to win. It's a game where you find the enemy, annihilate them, and move on to defeat another battalion. Though simple, this game is intriguing because it is based on the principles of glory, valor, honor, courage, and complete and total bouleversement of the enemy. As long as your military is bigger and stronger that your enemies', you will not need strategy to defeat them. Rather, on the contrary, you will just need to use your brutal army to dominate wave after wave of enemy defenses in ravaging yet honorable battles without stopping for a sip of tea and some biscuits.

The game's graphics are simply above average, nothing bad or superior about them. They look somewhat realistic and the colors and detail show elegance up to a point. On the inversion, the sound and music is much more captivating and promotes definite pungency and exertion in each level. There is a perfect balance in difficulty and Battle Tanx is one of the very few games that is not too hard yet not too easy. The best conception about Battle Tanx is that it is a very engaging and prepossessing game. When you start playing, you will not want to stop. There is an ample profusion of levels, each one is very different geographically, objectively, and in general dimensions. There are seventeen vast levels too be exact, each one including a different purpose and intent. Battle Tanx also comprises an extensive multifariousness of pick-up special weapons. There are fifteen different pick-ups you can, well, pick-up in the game. All of the boxes are different and are very original to only this game (except for Battle Tanx: Global Assault).

Basically, this game takes place in a post-Apocalyptic future. In this future, a virus (called the X2 virus) is mysteriously produced and these extremely dangerous organisms only dwell inside females. It was secretly unleashed and eventually diminished 99% of the females that existed in the world. The remaining women were resistant to the virus. Over a few nights, the whole world rioted into unthinkable anarchy and a large nuclear war was the result. The mutant tribes are now collecting and protecting the residuary females and treat them like holy entities. These few women are called queen-lords. Nations are attacking each other in hopes of obtaining more queen-lords so their population will not dilapidate into nothing. You play as Griffin Spade, who was going to marry a women named Madison but the government took her away after the X2 virus was unleashed. The only thing you care about is to retrieve your fiancee from mutant freak gangs that exist in the U.S. Your mission is to move west (Griffin Spade lives in New York City) to gather and build up a small military compilation, and to fight the merciless tribes of insane psychos to retrieve Madison from the grasps of these freak gangs.

Even though this game has more things to look forward to than to dislike, there are still a few important and notable negative sentiments in this game. First of all, the Multiplayer levels are small in dimensions and very few exist. This is not a very good notion because with the overall supplement of the game, the makers had a glorious chance to create extraordinary Multiplayer levels. Next, the choice of tanks are limited to only three tanks and you don't even have a choice of tanks when you first play the single-player campaign mode. Most importantly, the explosions, spacing, size of things, and levels are very unrealistic and are greatly out-of-proportion. For example, a car is literally one sixth the size of a small fence and seven cars can fit across a one lane street. Finally, the buildings aren't really buildings. I would really describe them as tall cubes of various colors rather than buildings.

Overall, Battle Tanx is a game packed with action that has bullets and shells flying everywhere you go. It delineates a practical and balanced challenge which truly gets you interested. It is extremely obvious that the positive apprehensions pervade the negative perceptions. The game's storyline is also pretty interesting and contains everything that a practical storyline should embody. It is essentially simple to learn how to play this game and the Multiplayer modes are quite fun to play with your friends. I am unequivocally glad that I bought this game and I would rate it as one of the top five action games that has ever come out for the N64.
