What Gamespot Users have to say about Battle Chess
- Rating:7
It may be a shameless re-marketing of an ages-old game, but Battle Chess makes up by being very entertaining to watch.
To the wiser of players, they would recognize this game for what it is: a re-imagining of the pieces used in the venerable game of chess, but nothing more substantial. Yet, this re-imagining is particularly fun to watch.... Read Full Review

this game is the perfect example on how aesthetic production values such as the anmations can make a game good
A chess game at its core, this game is the perfect example on how aesthetic production values such as the anmations in this case make or break the game. In this case, they absolutely MAKE the game. Every time one of your... Read Full Review

Chess like never before
I have been playing chess for what seems like forever and it is always the same non violent game that is visually disappointing. It doesn't matter if the game is new with great graphics or not. That was true until this... Read Full Review

Old, outdated, but fun!
I got this game when it first came out. At the time, it was amazing. Now, the graphics are terrible by today's standards, the engine isn't as srong as in Chessmaster or Fritz, and it's sometimes difficult getting it to... Read Full Review

Hooray! Blow stuff up! Very clever and funny version adds cartoon violence to the historic board game.
This translation of the ancient strategy game puts the old scheme in a new setting: that of an animated version of a fantasy novel. You'll play as wizard bishops, knights that actually look like such, and so forth. T... Read Full Review

Battle Chess is a nice distraction, and might keep you busy for awhile, but don't expect too much.
Ever wondered what it would be like if those little chess warriors would actually slaughter eachother in some entertaining way? Battle Chess gives you a taste of that, although a short sweet experience, that grows stale ... Read Full Review

Chess. But on the Computer
What can I say about this old classic game? The graphics and sound aren't the best because it was made a long time ago, but it still does do what it set out to. Have you play a game of chess on the computer with moving p... Read Full Review
