Battlezone
SCORE: 58
VR came in as a really exciting return of cool technology. Too many of the VR games have been flops. Take Battlezone for instance. This game can create motion sickness, and boredom very quickly. There is a grid we select where we want to go. Then we take on a mission. Things like kill all of the enemy vehicles, hack their base, and more. It got dull really fast.
Battlezone was released at an insanely over inflated price. This game should have never gone above twenty dollars brand new. That initial sixty dollars is a complete bust. Battlezone is violent with mediocre graphics that has online and offline play. It takes forever to get enough currency to upgrade weapons.
The difficulty factor in Battlezone is all over the board. I had hard levels that I died in, and then plenty of easy levels. Then another hard one that frustrated me. It was bad enough Battlezone made my head feel funny. I also ran out of ammo on some maps. That was fun. I liked the grid map and conquering areas. I wish the controls were a bit better. Especially on the menu screens. They confused me quite often.
It is interesting to see Battlezone. It is a return of a retro franchise on the return of the VR technology. Battlezone on the PS4 VR looks better than the old Atari game. I got bored with Battlezone pretty quickly. All of the explosions, and shooting sounds got old quickly. I felt like I was in a tank blowing away other tanks. So Battlezone has that at least.
I had to take breaks while playing Battlezone. Hitting aircraft is one of the things that got me sick. They love to fly around you in circles. Trying to view them up there and go around in circles sent my stomach to the bathroom. If there were less flying enemies then Battlezone would be a lot better. I did not play Battlezone online so I can not comment on their community.
I had high hopes for Battlezone. Sadly this is another flop making me wonder when we will get a few more decent VR games on the Playstation 4. There have been so few of them thus far. Pass on this game.
