Battlesport

This is great stuff - yet another triumph for the ever-busy Studio 3DO.

I wholeheartedly recommend you give this game a looksee, even if only to reconfirm your belief that the potential of video games as a complete entertainment is alive and well. Congratulations and a tip of the hat to Cyclone Studios and 3DO.

While it could stand a little more diversity and enhanced graphics, Battlesport is a furiously fun "future sport" title that sport fans and action fans can both enjoy. If you fall under either category, check out this game.

It's fast and fun, but the slippery controls make things a little harder than they need to be. Also, this game uses so may different power-ups in certain stages that thumbing through them could cost you precious seconds. Still, superb sound and great graphics make this game worth playing.

This is a very well made game. The menu screens are wonderful to navigate and the gameplay is as intense as anything you'll find in a futuristic sports shooter. It's one of the games I "go to" when I have friends over. We keep logs on some of our more interesting games, ship configurations and arena's to play in. The problem is, as a one player game it gets very little attention from me...I've already seen everything there is to see, and for me there is very little to draw me back as a solo participant... Hell, I heard they are already working a BattleSport 2 game...add some tunnels, make key walls and debris destructible, throw in some more baddies, add a "snap" feature, spruce up the graphics and soundtrack and you can count me in for the sequel mister!

All in all, if you got a dusty old 3DO sitting in your closet, and happen to see a copy of BattleSport somewhere; I encourage you to pick it up, dust of your 3DO, and have a little fun.

While BattleSport certainly has its moments and is by no means a wretched effort, the fact is that there's just no need for a game like this on the PlayStation in 1997.

Well, I've probably said it all; let's just move on and try to forget this one. I would not recommend it to anyone (unless you still have that old 386). On a positive note, I still really like Acclaim and Studio 3DO. They have put out some excellent titles, and I look forward to their next one.

Hemmungsloses Herumgeballere mit ein paar Fußballanleihen schreckt mich nicht unbedingt ab. Allerdings ist die Umsetzung von Battle Sport einfach miserabel. Die Grafik ist nach dem heutigen Maßstab eine Frechheit und läuft trotzdem auf einem 486er nicht annähernd flüssig. Der Sound nervt einfach nur. Während ich verzweifelt versuche, mit meinem herumschliddernden Gleiter den Ball zu ergattern, löst die Steuerung schnell Krämpfe in meinen Händen aus.
