Battlezone excels mostly in its four-player co-op mutliplayer offering where team-work, strategy and upgrading efficiently really matters. The mother of all tank games is back with a huge virtual reality bang.

While I would argue that Rigs: Mechanized Combat League is by far the superior online multiplayer game for PlayStation VR, if its frantic in-mech motion is too much to handle or you’re otherwise more interested in an engaging cooperative experience, this fits the bill nicely. There are some glaring balance issues for Rebellion to work out, and Battlezone is far less advisable as a solo game, but damn if it isn’t thrilling when everything comes together and your team perseveres against all odds.

After you take your headset off, you don’t really feel like you want to tell everyone about it. Despite how the world engulfs you, the action falls short of matching that feeling. Although Battlezone is one of PSVR’s bulkiest titles, it fails to drum up replayability in the long run. This looked to be one of the more noteworthy launch titles, but can’t quite redeem its asking price. It is well made, sounds great, and looks beautiful but will not sell PSVR on its own. If you’re looking for that one game to make you pull the trigger on PSVR, wait a bit longer. Though Battlezone isn’t a bad addit...
