Once you've got over the initial awe of enjoying a 3D sim on the Megadrive, it all becomes very so-so and there's no real long-term challenge on offer for the rather hefty asking price. One of those games which is very good but could have been great...

Wer als simulationsbegeisteter Konsolenbesitzer neidisch auf den Kollegen mit einem Computer geblickt hat, kann jetzt aufatmen: Glücklicherweise hat das Panzerspektakel "M-1 Abrams Battle" bei der Umsetzung auf das Mega Drive kaum gelitten (zumindest technisch). Nur mit dem dürftigen Sound ist das Mega Drive deutlich unterfordert. Die Steuerung des Panzers via Joypad ist zwar am Anfang etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, hat man aber ein paar Runden mit dem martialischen Schwergewicht gedreht, geht die Bedienung flott von der Hand. Größtes Manko beim M-1: es gibt zu wenig Missionen.

That, more so than the control, is probably what's going to drive off newcomers checking M-1 out for the first time. With all the next generation hoopla over presentation, those unfamiliar with the early days of 3D might be unable to get past its look. Add the aforementioned problems, and it's understandable to see why it gets overlooked. Those willing to get past the dated visuals and cumbersome control scheme might actually enjoy it. I say give it a chance. If you get tired of dying quickly, there's an invincibility code that you can use until you get the hang of things. A shortcut to be sure, but hey, all's fair in love and war!
