BattleTanx: Global Assault is a multi-player video game for the Nintendo 64 (N64) 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.
