If you loved the originals, you'll love this. If you've never played the originals...give this a try. There's a reason so many people still enjoy these games. I've been playing Battlezone and it's pack, Red Odyssey, for 25 years now (that's crazy), and not just for nostalgia sake. It was, and continues to be, one of my favorite games; it excellently combines both FTP and strategy in a way I rarely see in other games. Similarly, the story/mythology is clever and engaging, particularly in the way it unfolds under the NSDF (American) campaign. As far as I can tell, this "update" is update in graphics and stability only, and that's fantastic. I was afraid they'd make various tweaks, which they have not. These are the classic stories/missions. The new graphics admittedly took a couple seconds to get used to, but I'm so pleased to be able to play it. I've seen a couple complaints about the AI, and I suppose there's a fair point there. But I think it's a minor complaint, and you'll adjust fairly quick. Red Odyssey is the more challenging gameplay; Battlezone is fun going.
