Super Battletank 2

Desert Wing Commander 2


Genre: simulation - tank/mech

Publisher: Absolute

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Same gameplay as the original, for better or worse. Mostly worse. It's fun for about 10 mins and then loses its appeal. One annoyance is that the control are inverted while using theachone gun but normal for the other two weapons. This is super weird and unnecessary. Not fun either.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Variety added, like a gallery shooter section where tons of copters attack along with bouncing boxes for some reason. This is super awkward since ethe cursor is painfully slow - much slower than the enemies. Despite that edition the levels are otherwise the same as the original.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Presentation is markedly worse. The story is told by way of scrolling text. So yeah, a text crawl is your narrator. Whoopie


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Same tiny viewing area with mostly nothing to look at. However the sprites are animated better and look quite impressive at close range. Also everything runs smoothly and very fast which is nice.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

No music. Again


Overall Score: 40

Review ID: 554
