CNET Gamecenter Review

After playing Krush, Kill 'N' Destroy's beginning levels, I began to think this game was a lot like Virgin Interactive's Z. It's so much like Z, in fact, that they could call it "Y," as in "Y bother." As I progressed, however, I learned why.
Once past the first few levels, resource management enters the game and adds a level of depth beyond Z and more in line with WarCraft II. Combine the graphics and style of Z with the resource management of WarCraft, and you get a pretty fair picture of Electronic Arts' Krush, Kill 'N' Destroy. With two great references like these, it is hard to go wrong.
that bystander gave me indigestion
Those who thought Krush, Kill 'N' Destroy was Crush, Crumble, and Chomp 2 are in for a surprise. There are no helpless citizens to devour here; however, there are still plenty of buildings to destroy and soldiers to kill. Krush is a real-time strategy war game whose plot begins like many other stories of love and war, with a nuclear holocaust. Two groups survived: the Survivors and the Evolved. The Survivors fled underground and waited for Mother Nature to take Earth out of the microwave. The Evolved remained on the surface and mutated like Momma Nat's TV dinners. Now the radiation has subsided and the Survivors want to reclaim the surface. Like WarCraft, the two sides have their differences, but they are roughly equivalent in strength. The Survivors rely more heavily on technology, while the Evolved rely on their mutated abilities. Both are fighting for control of the land and its only resource: oil.
The game is very well presented, with crisp SVGA graphics. Krush, Kill 'N' Destroy The units are small, but well drawn and easily discernible from each other. This is impressive considering there are over 30 different combat groupings. Sound is also good, and it accentuates the well-animated carnage and explosions. During the campaign games, missions are generally presented via video from your commanding officer, accompanied by various charts, graphics, and information. The video quality is good, but don't neglect the other screens or you'll miss a lot of funny, if usually worthless information.
