Battle Planets Video Review

Imagine two planets, separated by maybe half the diameter of one of the planets. If those two planets were inhabited, there's a good chance the citizens of each planet would get on the nerves of the other. War would ensue. At least that's the backstory I've created in my head for Battle Planets.

You control a planet's defenses, operating three missile launchers, and timing your shots to destroy the neighboring planet. Wouldn't you know it though, that other planet also has three rocket launchers, and is equally set on destroying your planet. You have to fire the rockets, careful not to hit any of the many asteroids, or set your rocket on a course that will bring it raining down on your own planet. With each hit, the planets take on a Swiss cheese-like appearance. Take out all three enemy rockets, and glory will be yours. It will be short-lived though, as another planet is just around the corner.

The gameplay is fine, and graphics are good. Pro tip: turn off the vibrating effect with every hit as it gets in the way of an otherwise decent game.

Here's a look:
