    The simple appeal of 3D tank combat is one that certainly has a place on a service like XBLA, but this awkward update gets stuck between misplaced reverence for the original and distracting concessions to modern gaming conventions.

    One of Atari's better visual upgrades, but not nearly as much fun 28 years after it first hit arcades. [July 2008, p.96]

    You're left roaming the virtual landscape, hoping opposition might come your way. [Issue#33, p.117]

    Overall Battlezone offers little life span and just feels outdated.

    Unless your nostalgia borders on masochism, let this pointless war rage without you.

    Battlezone is a relic that should have stayed in the past.

    In conclusion, Battlezone joins that ragged band of Xbox Live Arcade titles that, even for a mere 400 points, don’t deserve to grace your hard drive.
