Overall, 'Battlezone 2000' is a superior Lynx game for the system, and which is only let down by a lack of variety in level stages. But I'm going to say "Don't let that stop you from checking this game out!"

AGH Lynx Review:BATTLEZONE 2000. by Atari. In a continuing trend of reincarnating its back catalog of classic titles for its newer systems, Atari brings us Battlezone 2000 for the portable Lynx machine. This is a modernized version of one of Atari's most popular vector graphic coin-op games, and this update is done quite well for the most part.
GOOD POINTS: Very well done intro music, and the sounds effects are good, although more varied than the original. But from a graphics and gameplay perspective, this is a faithful arcade conversion with some useful enhancements.
- Atari's update to the classic arcade shooter.

Taking a page from their Jaguar game development plan, Atari introduces Battlezone 2000 for the Lynx portable video game system. As the name implies, this is an updated version of the classic arcade game Battlezone. The player is placed behind the steering yolk of an armored tank, and dropped into a number of war zones. In each, he must destroy runaway tanks, flying saucers, and cruise missiles, while evading on-field obstacles and snatching various powerups. Customization options allow players to tune their tanks for each battle, and up to four players can be ComLynxed together for cooperative or competitive play.
Like most other early video games, the strength of the original Battlezone was in providing a challenging, strategic conflict in an uncomplicated environment. Battlezone 2000 preserves this tradition well; New weapons and limits to fuel and ammunition add to the player's responsibilities and strategy options, but are offset by the luxuries of a protective shield and rapid-fire capability. The end result is a game that adds new details to the original, without overburdening the player or sacrificing the uncomplicated action.
Each level of Battlezone 2000 has a goal that must be completed, such as destroying a number of tanks or scoring a number of points. Some levels give bonuses for rapid completion, while others can't be completed without finding the extra ammunition hidden in the battlezone. While there are no difficulty levels, the layout of each stage varies from game to game, preventing players from memorizing patterns and improving the card's replay value.
Whether with one player or four, Battlezone 2000 is a fast-paced and challenging upgrade of the original arcade game. There's enough variety and excitement to keep most players entertained, though some might find it a little repetitive. The traditional graphics and sound don't have the flash and sizzle of modern titles, but the pure and uncomplicat...

Jul 27, 2021 · Battlezone 2000 isn’t what I would call an ‘essential’ Lynx game, but it is fun in short bursts. The speed and intuitive nature of the regular game makes it engaging and playable. The hidden game doesn’t add a great deal to the package, unfortunately, but is a somewhat interesting diversion.
