BattleTanx - Global Assault (E) and (U) ISO
Description :
BattleTanx: Global Assault is a multi-player
video game for the
Nintendo 64 and
PlayStation in which players control futuristic
tanks. It is a sequel to the popular N64 game
BattleTanx,
which utilized the same method of game play. New features were added,
such as the ability to utilize special moves with the left and right
C-buttons depending on the current tank. 3DO went bankrupt before
another sequel could be released.
Plot :
On January 13, 2006, a Queenlord, Cassandra, is spying on Griffin
Spade's family, telling her troops to kidnap Griffin's son Brandon and
kill everyone else. Griffin and his army manage to push back the
invaders, but Cassandra soon turns the tables by mind-controlling
Griffin's own army. Griffin and Madison manage to escape San Francisco
and begin chasing Cassandra across the United States, eventually
cornering her in
Washington, D.C.. Cassandra, however, escapes with Brandon to the
United Kingdom; Griffin and Madison follow. They build a new army in
Europe, and chase Cassandra through
England,
France and
Germany.
While in Paris, they discover Cassandra released the virus in 2001 to
kill every female on Earth who didn't have the power of the Edge. It is
in Berlin where Griffin finally rescues Brandon. They make it back to
San Francisco and push back another invasion by the Storm Ravens, and
finally corner and defeat Cassandra on
Alcatraz Island. The story ends with a
cliffhanger; an unidentified magician finds Cassandra's body and speaks of a "chosen one" as he resurrects her.
Gameplay :
Players take control of different gangs, each using up to 5 different
types of tanks. Most of the tanks can activate special abilities with
the left and right C-buttons.

- Rattler: Small turretless tank with a GAU-8 Gatling gun.
- Goliath: Extremely large, slow tank, sometimes rail-mounted.
- Annihilator Class Goliath: Same as the regular Goliath, only it has
two Gatling guns on each side. This tank can be unlocked in game with
two separate codes and a GameShark code, and is not available otherwise.
Also known as "TANKBOSSA" (Tank Boss - Annihilator,) related to the
GameShark code and the in-game name.
- M1A1 Abrams: Medium size, speed, and gun power.
- M2 Hydra: Medium tank with double barrel cannon.

- Inferno: A flamethrower tank that fires in multiple directions.
- Marksman: Laser fire.
- Rhino: Rhinos are tank destroyers; strong fronts and weak flanks.

- Shredder: Fast and has a gatling gun.
- M-80 Demolition Vehicle: Also known as the "Suicide Tank".
Multiplayer in Global Assault allows players to play in almost all of
the maps from campaign mode, as well as some which are exclusive to
multiplayer. The maps usually are based on known landmarks and locations
in the United States or Europe, such as
Route 66, the
White House, the British
Houses of Parliament, and the
Eiffel Tower.
Gangs :
Global Assault features many gangs returning from the first game, as well as some new ones.
Griffin's Army: The main gang in the game. The player controls this gang in campaign mode.
Madison's Militia: A separate gang run by Madison, they do not appear in campaign.
Brandon's Gang: A secret gang, apparently run by Brandon. The
campaign must be completed with the secret level unlocked to gain access
to this gang.
Cassandra's Gang: A second secret gang, ran by the main
Antagonist Cassandra. Unlocked via a GameShark code and two in game
codes. Possesses high end tanks, including two of the normally
unplayable Annihilator class Goliath tanks.
Skull Riders: A small gang consisting mostly of Moto Tanks and Rattlers, recruited by Cassandra in Texas.
Storm Ravens: The secret female-only gang from the last game is now playable from the beginning. They have also been recruited by Cassandra.
Shadow Ops: A gang controlled by Cassandra in Washington, D.C.
Iron Maidens: A British female-only gang rescued by Griffin when he first lands in Europe.
Crimson Guard: Another British gang, enemies of the Iron Maidens and controlled by Cassandra.
Les Misérables: Cassandra's French recruits.
Dark Angels: A cult society. Despite their importance in the first game's plot, they play no role in
Global Assault.
Cold Warriors: A unique gang, whose only single-player
appearance is in the Germany levels. In multiplayer mode, one player in
the gang will on occasion spawn with the Nuke. A Cold Warriors' Goliath
can be found in Berlin War Zone, in a tunnel in an alleyway, to the left
after you cross the minefield.
Custom Gang: A special gang that can only be unlocked using a
special cheat code. By entering the cheat code "TRDDYBRRKS" and then
entering any combination of letters/numbers/symbols, a custom gang can
be created with a random selection of tanks & starting weapons. For
example, entering "VCTRY" results in a gang with 2 M1 Abrams tanks, 3
Goliath tanks, & Swarmers for a starting weapon. Up to 4 custom
gangs can be made at a time. Attempting to create a 5th gang will result
in Custom Gang 1 being overwritten. Also, the Custom Gangs are not
saved to the memory card, so the code must be re-entered if one wishes
to have the Custom Gangs again.

Battletanx.
