Great sequel.

If you played number one, you already know how this goes. But this time it can be played as an RTS if you build a radar. Sniping is harder as you need to hit the window not just aim fo the red dot. But everything is faster, smoother and better than it's predecessor. Group teams can now be mixed, and even without a vehicle you are still a threat as your infantry ammo slowly reloads. However, the story doesn't let you choose teams right at the start, you only get that option much later. But it does have a nice long campain with a lot of missions.

4 stars for effort (review of campaign)

BZ:CC is more of the same as BZ with some notable improvements. You might find the fusion of driving game and RTS refreshing, or gimmicky, or like me: excited at first but increasingly tired and frustrated the more I played. The biggest shortcomings of BZ:CC remain the atrocious AI and the bland missions. Yes, the enemy hover tanks can kite like a crab and shoot like a cowboy. But if you order two of your tanks to attack a structure and one blocks the line of fire of the other, the other will just sit there and do nothing. The AI has so little adaptability that many of the later missions rely on arbitrary spawning of enemy units. The same units will periodically spawn out of nothing away from the enemy base then follow the same path to attack you until destroyed. It makes the campaign feel tiresome. Nevertheless, there are several areas of improvement over Battlezone 98. The interface and control are better. You can build a bigger army than in BZ98. Their grouping and health/ammo are still readily visible on your HUD. Base building is also easier. Building is now grid based with plenty of open space. There is less frustration all around. There is also the semblance of a plot with commendable voice acting. The plot is not much better than BZ98, but the characters are OK, even though you mainly interact with them through voiced briefings. Commander Shabayev in particular makes the campaign feel more bearable. Last but not least, there are genuine choices in the campaign. I counted only two, one major and one very minor. But the fact that you are presented with a deliberate choice that changes how the later part of a mission or even the rest of the campaign will go is rare in RTS. I wish there were more such choices in the game, but even a couple are a plus. Battlezone is not for everyone. There is an inherent tension between driving game and RTS. Nevertheless, BZ:CC makes enough improvements over the original that I can recommend it more than BZ98.

My favorite game of all time!

Okay I may be a bit biased, but no other game has ever incorporated, first person, vehicle combat, and strategy with base building into one game the way this one does. I even enjoyed the story line. If anyone can find me one other game that does all these things, I'd love to play it. I loved strategy games growing up, and vehicle combat, eventually I got into the first person shooters as well, but to have all three in one game was so much fun! My favorite strategy while building up resources for my base was to go and snipe enemy's out of the vehicles and bring them over to my own. Even switching weapon types in the enemy vehicles added a lot of variety. Others may not enjoy this as much as I did, but I really wish more games were made as well as this was.

Great game!

I love the look, the sound and the innovative idea. It's a lot of fun to actually use the vehicles and take part in the battles. After a while you reallize that it's more effective to control your units via antenna, like in every other RTS, but still: you feel so much more involved when you command your troops from a tank which only has 10 % of its health left.
