Super Battletank: War in the Gulf

Desert Wing Commander


Genre: simulation - tank/mech

Publisher: Absolute Entertainment

Year: 1992

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Basically Wing Commander on a 2D plane. Switch to overhead map to navigate to a target and then when you get there take out the tank or copter there. Pretty rudimentary. Controls are terrible due to the controller. Changing speed is done by pressing Start + up or down. This is impossible during combat.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Gameplay doesn't differ between stages. Only the enemies and their placement changes.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Desert Storm the video game. Nice presentation with a detailed briefing beforehand and a press conference bragging about the results afterward.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Basic stuff. First person view with almost nothing to look at. Just an endless sandy horizon. Animation is minimal although the tank sprites have nice detail.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

What audio?


Overall Score: 23

Review ID: 1283
