What the reviews talk about
What the critics said
Ash of GamePro said of the N64 version in its November 1999 issue, "One minor beef isn't enough to detract from the immense enjoyment of BattleTanx: Global Assault. After all, there are now seven new tanks to choose from – who cares how you control 'em – just pick a turret, any turret, hop in, and blow up stuff!"
— GamePro, 1999
