Lord Helmet Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I picked it up last night, and I have to say that out of the several conversions that this company has done (Asteroids and Tempest come to mind) this one is the best. Classic mode isn't all that that great, but the enhanced mode is pretty good IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Can we look forward to an official Lord Helmet review soon?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I haven't tried this one out yet. I mean I pretty much know what to expect. I'll probably eventually wind up getting it. I'm pretty sure Warlords is next on the list of Atari games coming to the 360. If it offers 4 way Live play, that could be a title to look forward to for sure.

Lord Helmet Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm going to post a full review soon. The enhanced version has a real Tron look to it...if Tron had a giant volcano in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've tried the trial version. I like the enhanced version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've got 400 points left from an old points card. Gonna snag this game I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 i got the game when it came out, the enhanced version is clearly the best! and for only 400 points it's well worth the price of admission! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think it's pretty cool. I need to play it a bit more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I dismissed BZ because it has one of the worst previews of any XBLA game I've tried. One barely gets into the game and it quits after 3 tank kills. The demo doesn't show much IMHO. I am glad to hear that it is pretty good. I may have to get it. How does it compare to the PSP version? -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1lence Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sorry but this title is terrible, the controls are not even close. The enhanced mode is playable but that doesn't say much. Also throttle mode NEEDS to GO AWAY....NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 This must be a title people either love or hate. i've seen reviews for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How does it compare to the PSP version? The enhanced is the same as the PSP version. It's the same. I just bought this game the other day.. I've always liked Battlezone. Remember people you have to use 2 joysticks to control or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I just bought this game the other day.. I've always liked Battlezone. Remember people you have to use 2 joysticks to control or nothing After a while of trying the dual joystick config, I changed it back to the single joystick method. I liked that better. I HATE buzz bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Sorry but this title is terrible, the controls are not even close. How are the controls not even close? 2 joystick mode is exactly the way the arcade game functioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynn Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm glad others loved this as well. Dual Stick and Throttle Monkey is the way to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalpress Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 LOVE it. The first time I played it I was not happy with the simulated arcade bezel border and thought they really F'ed it up by making the tank control with one analog. Then I discovered that this was only the default setting (silly but I guess meant to dumb it down for the casual player) and indeed twin-analogs are a control option. Once that was out of the way I got over the borders and then really got into the Evolved mode. Very tough to get achievements though!

moycon Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Very tough to get achievements though! You're telling me? You easily dominate my friends list at this game as far as score goes, I bow before your BZ skills. If you say achievements are tough, I have no hope of getting any!!

I usually like to try and take the top spot for classic games amongst my friends list.. but that score is nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Mind if I add you guys to my friends list by getting your names off of the gamertag list here and at DP? I like trying to beat scores for XBLA titles, though I'm sure I won't have a prayer of beating you guys in most stuff. Most of the classic XBLA titles I own don't have more than 1-2 people on my friends list that own them, with just a few exceptions. I'm LeoAmes17 if anyone wonders who the guy is that is adding them to their friends list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Gotta agree on that man.. holy crap. I don't want to hear it. Your Robotron score is supernatural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
