Posted December 10, 2005 Hey I was one of those guys who tested it. Funny that the level we tested never made it into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 12, 2005 yes I bought it on saturday.. havent tried it yet though.. im on the last stage in Farcry.. as soon as im through with the baddies there im on to Battalion wars.. if my Animal Crossdressing don't show up before that is.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2005 Yes actually it rocks!! I startede playing it yesterday. Im still on the first missions as I want and S on every one..and the control takes som getting used to.. meaning the whole "switching between the units".. can imagine it will get tough later on in the heat of battle. Great and wonderfull charachters and animation.. again im reminded of Vaughn Bodé's comics. And the control for the tank rules.. can't wait to try out the planes. Have only "met" Betty once.. but can't say im looking forward to seeing her again.. ill probably use Rammstein og RATM to drone her out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2005 is it as strategic as the GBA/DS ones? It is not so strategic as GBA/DS games, but you will need to think how to use your units or you will surely fail. Battalion Wars is fine game and my only personal gripe with it is the control system. It can be sometimes very hard to control your units precisely and locking system is pretty bad.

Posted December 20, 2005 It is a great game. Im not that far into it yet beause I have to work.. boooring.. and play Animal Crossing also.. and I want a S on each mission.. also im trying to get better at commanding my different units, as it is sheer murder sending the wrong units up against a tank or say, flamethrowers. I made a lot of mistakes, but am getting better... phew, can't imagine how hectic it will get later on. And Betty isnt that irritating.. if only she would lay off the helium.. I simply love the graphic style of this game, the charachters are well and funny animated.. gear and equipment bounching as you run about the place. Grunts banging their helmets to check their mic's.. or at least thats what I think they'r doing. Edit: and suddently i can see my old post.. i havent been able to see it since i made it.. thought there was something wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2005 This may seem like a plug but whatever, it may be of intrest: HM-Fusion have just interviewed the guys behind the game features some interesting tidbits about the development, and their relationship with Nintendo! Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2006 I started this game this weekend and its great how much fun it is. It takes a while to get used to the control methods and when things get hectic I tend to lose control of the battle ( happens alot ) Still worth a look by anyone IMO. Hopefully a sequel will be on the cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully a sequel will be on the cards. Yeah, it really is a brilliant little game. I got it on launch and only played throught the first 8 missions I think. Not played it since because of lack of time and all that..........but hopefully I'll be able to get back into it in the coming weeks. And yes, the graphics are uber nice. There's alot of nice little touches, and the wooded/forest areas look really lush. I was also soooo happy when they kept the boxart in the same style as the US one...........prob best GC boxart around I rekon........although Paper Mario comes close.

Posted January 7, 2006 Just finished the 2nd lot of missions now. Some of them are really tough to get a decent rank on. Still im pretty much addicted to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2006 I just recently got this game. I really like it but the controls are annoying. I'm mostly finding locking on enemies difficult, but not too much of a problem. My one major gripe though is controlling vehicles. Its so loose and it annoys me when the camera decides to turn and you're not facing that way. I'm finding mission 4 difficult simply because of this. Anyone else find that? Did it get easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't worry about the controls, they soon start to make sence with your brain :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main control layout is actually quite good once you get it into your head. Could just be this one vehicle, just feels way to light. The camera thing annoyed me most though. Spose I'll have to get practising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 14, 2006 This game isn't worth buying. It's only worth renting since theres no multiplayer or other modes just 1-P and to make it worse theres only 40 something missions. Fun game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2006 Well if I was renting it, i would have payed A LOT by now..... I'm still going through it slowly...I hate the idea of renting games >_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2006 I'm curious, does this game feel like Battlezone 1&2 on the pc? As I love those games. When I get the time I will buy this game. Renting games is not too bad, as I played through CBFD in a weekend. Didn't have the money to buy it that time. Now I can't find it anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're talking about one of the first missions where you have to escape from enemy territory with a light recon. The controls are indeed quite annoying there, but I almost completed it and didn't encounter any similar problems so far. The tanks feel very natural to control.
