Much Better 2nd Time Around!
This game is worth getting. I slogged through it some 20 years ago and agreed it deserved a C- at best grade. Now with the dramatically improved graphics and finding a game guide that actually connects all the dots between base structures (building tree of sorts) , all the weapons and how to upgrade them onto stock units etc., its a lot of fun and challenging to my aging brain. I don't get why people put out a highly complex and detailed product without a decent instruction guide as to how to use it! BZ2 was a dramatic failure in this regard. Even the "Official Strategy Manual" put out by Brady games was poorly done. However, a really good one is put out by IGN dot com called the "Unofficial Guide to Battlezone 2" in a downloadable pdf of about 100 pages. They got it right! That's the one you want to really understand how this game works. The single player missions and story line strike me as uninteresting, but the real fun with this game to me is in the Instant Action part with a variety of maps and options by which you can set up a really interesting game that may take days to complete. These are complete games within the game. It runs perfectly on my Windows 7 system with AMD dual core Athlon (Black Edition!) which I unlocked into a quad core Phenom II x 4 running at 3.5 with a GeForce 1060. This is my GOG rig. So go ahead and get this and have some fun. The visuals are quite stunning.
