Game Log Entry 2
GAMEPLAY
After coming back and playing more I realized how neat the Co-Op option is for campaign mode. You and your friend are able to team up and dominate any force that opposes. I also liked the varying goals in each level to keep you from just repeating the same thing over and over again. The goals to the levels are not too complicated so its pretty easy to catch on and complete missions.
The tanks are very neat, and I fell in love with one particularly, the FLP-E tank. You can roll and tumble out from corners, or use your mobility to dodge or escape danger. Other tanks are very neat too, and you can choose from a fast small tank or a huge tank that delivers massive damage but is hard to control and move. The various choices for tanks gives you the freedom to dominate in whichever strategy or way you would prefer.
DESIGN
This game was not the first of its kind, but had major improvements compared to the first Battle Tanx. They added more weapons, tanks, and the graphics and game play became much smoother. The levels were decent. They design the levels with the setting of actual places in the United States and Europe, all with the nuclear devastation style of emptiness. The game brings different challenges for different levels, however they are all pretty similar, where you either destroy tanks, save prisoners, or destroy buildings.
The game is pretty simply designed, and you can fully explore all levels to their fullest and are kept in a certain arena by usually a fence or some other kind of border trapping you only to a select place. This isn't so bad to be restricted, because it allows you to just destroy all in a smaller area rather than traveling all over and getting lost. The game has different rewards, but none that really stress any necessity to achieve. If i were to change anything to the game it would be more varied weapons and tanks. Also if the levels could be filled with a little more destruction, and more less permanent buildings that can never be destroyed. You are a tank and i think you should be able to blast down anything in your way. Overall the game was a simple plot and did not go very in depth with the story line. It makes for an entertaining and busy game mostly good for its multi-player replay value.

Game Log Entry 1
SUMMARY
Battle Tanx: Global Assault has an epic co-op campaign, where a disease kills 99.9% of women on Earth, and as the Earth tears itself apart searching for all the women, one woman captures your only son giving you your motivation to start the domination. You command one tank out of your fleet, but as the game progresses you unlock new tanks which are in a way a rewrd each time you pas a level. As you play the levels you face tanks, boats, turrets, and gun buddies. You blow up buildings and collect special item boxes, which give you health, power ups, or new weapons to use on your enemies. When you die you use tank bucks to buy new tanks, and they all vary in price. Yo find tank bucks throughout the levels in hidden areas and in the ruble of buildings that you destroy.
GAMEPLAY
The play for this game is very entertaining and addicting. In the very beginning of the game the story goes straight for your family. I felt that this gave a very good reason for anyone to fight for. The graphics for the time are not bad, and they kept all the desins pretty simple. Each level is a completely different area. The levels were very neat taking you clear across the United States and even into Europe.
All of the different tanks were very fun to use, because with each type comes a new or slightly different strategy of play. The different tank gangs really reminded me of a tank version of The Warriors, which I thought was really cool. I really liked going acros the globe wiping out complete gangs of tanks hired to destroy you. The addition of tank bucks really was an instentive to destroy all the buildings, and to explore the entire map. They add a new goal to the game other than just killing tanks, you are challenged with new ways to reach those boxes of much needed tank bucks.
