On the gaming side, it also has a very good AI, so you get a good challenge from the game (even if you are a champ). That is actually all there is to say. It's chess with animation - but we all LOVE it!

The standard of chess is played similar and the animation has come across in good shape. There are even the digitised sound effects to help things along. The novelty will wear off but it's one that you will come back to often.

Hey, das erste Schach fürs CD32! Im Vergleich zu uralten Urversion hat Interplay dem Oldie hier ein paar Farben mehr spendiert, die witzig animierten Kampfsequenzen beim Schlagen wurden jedoch nicht überarbeitet. Dafür sind Sprachausgabe, Musik und sogar ein kleiner Schachlehrgang auf der Scheibe enthalten. Nur spielt das Programm halt immer noch recht schwach, zudem reagiert die Steuerung eher lahm. Schachmatt in 68 Prozent.

If you are a chess fan, then you may want to check this title out. This is simply chess in a three-dimensional board with pieces that walk, talk, and fight to the finish when taking another players' chess pieces.

Battle Chess har dock ett ganska begränsat underhållningsvärde. När man har sett pjäserna hugga ihjäl varandra något tiotal gånger, blir bara animationerna ett irritationsmoment som gör att spelet blir långsamt. Visserligen går alla animationer att stänga av, men då är ju själva anledningen att köpa Battle Chess borta. Och är det en schacksimulator man är ute efter, finns det definitivt bättre val.

Sorti en 1992 chez Interplay, Battle Chess avait eu un succès tellement important qu’une suite était sortie quelques années plus tard. Il faut dire que le concept d’un jeu d’échec dont les pièces seraient animées et prendraient vie rendait l’idée particulièrement attrayante à ceux qui n’aiment pas ce jeu ou tout simplement qui voulaient changer des jeux du commerce plus « sérieux ».
