I must admit that I’ve never been a fan of the VR system but I have heard good things from people who’ve enjoyed Battlezone in VR, so I did have some interest to see how it would perform without the VR. Thankfully on the whole it performs pretty well and it does provide you with quite a few enjoyable moments but it doesn’t come without its problems as well. It does however get more things right than it gets wrong and when played with friends you end up having a huge amount of fun. The online components in the game work really well and I didn’t suffer with many problems at all. In fact the only real problem the online multiplayer suffers with is that the servers are a little empty so finding a game can be a little bit difficult at times. When you do get into a game though the gameplay can be very addictive and there is a great deal of variety in certain areas. One of the areas that has the most variety present is when it comes to the weapons you can use in the game. Each weapon has its pros and cons and they’re all fun to use and this definitely keeps things fresh and interesting for longer. Another aspect of the game that has a great deal of variety is the customisation that you’re allowed to do. You can chop and change a number of different things and this amount of freedom means no game ever plays the same, which in turn gives the game quite a bit of replay value. I will however recommend that you play the game in short bursts especially if you’re playing on your own because the missions can get a little reptetive after a bit. You will also have to deal with a high difficulty curve when playing alone and this will be off-putting for some, but I suggest that you ride it out because you will become more powerful as you progress through the game. Without a doubt one of my favourite things about the game was the presentation that has been implemented. If you like a retro look with a modern feel then this game will tick a lot of boxes for you. This look gives the game quite a bit of charm and I must admit that the visuals and sound design combined together extremely well culminating in even more fun being delivered to you. All in all this game does what it sets out to do and this is to deliver you a fun and enjoyable experience and on the whole the game works really well but I can’t help thinking that the game’s problems stop it from reaching its full potential. That being said it does enough to keep fans of this specific genre satisfied and it does enough to get a thumbs up from me.
