A long awaited remake? Yes. Worth it? Well I was a little disappointed.
This is a remake of the classic 8-bit Atari game "Ballblazer". It's like a 2 player hockey game where you use "Rotofoils" (A hovercraft like car) to take posession of the "Plasmorb" and put it through the goal. The 8-bit version was pretty cut and dry but a very good game for the time. Ballblazer champions took out the cut and dry and added some nice features. It now sports Tournament Play where you play gradually tougher opponents, ship upgrading with your winnings and new playfields which are all great implementations.
The idea of new playfields was a great idea but just that. A great idea but lack of design and playability. The first 2 statiums are playable enough, next 3 or 4 are tough to even navigate let alone score in. The later stadiums are very difficult at best. Some of the later stadiums are like dogfighting in the sky with barriers and tunnel-vision. There are bouses (Weapons, money, etc...) and dang...
