What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This version of BZ2 features heavily updated visuals, in particular very nice lighting effects.
That being said, this game is still very fun, and the campaign missions can be quite challenging (and not from artificial difficulty caused by the aforementioned problems).
The gameplay is fairly unique, and as far as I'm aware, the most well executed within its subgenre.
This enables a very free-form feeling in combat, with the player giving commands to their units or far-away base on the fly, often while shooting at enemies.
The overall flow feels awkward to me now, but I suspect this system allowed for tight, high-level play in whatever multiplayer scene might have existed once.
The rest of the RTS controls are accessible at the same time, but neatly tucked away or integrated with the FPS controls, as in the case of the Space Bar.
