However to earn more medals you need to go back and beat earlier levels with new tanks, a procedure which quickly grows agonizingly boring. Completing a level earns you a medal, which unlocks more tanks and more levels. You can tackle the campaign in co-op (complete with off-TV play for player one, saving you from having to endure split-screen) but the second player is always stuck with the basic tank and is unable to customize it in any way.Īs if it weren't boring enough, Tank! Tank! Tank! commits the cardinal sin of video games: making you needlessly replay levels multiple times in order to progress. You can unlock different tanks - each with their own unique attributes and special weapons that level up as you complete missions - but despite the aesthetic changes you’re still just shooting the same monsters over and over again. Generic cardboard-cutout characters send you off to destroy different monsters, a process which simply isn't very fun without having friends along for the ride. Single player is where the game (pardon the pun) tanks. It’s silly, stupid fun, but it’s hilariously addictive and is definitely the highlight of the package. The highlight of them all, however, is My Kong mode, which lets the first player take up the mantle of a giant robot gorilla (complete with their face pasted on, naturally) tasked with destroying the other participants. Monster Battle is a co-op mode with all four players teaming up to clear an area of bad guys. Team Versus is the same thing just with a two-on-two twist. While the games can be played with less than four players, any empty slot will be filled with an AI player so there's always the same quota of tanks in play.įree-for-all is your basic deathmatch mode, with each player trying to score as many kills as possible within a time limit.

A nice touch is that player one uses the GamePad as a personal screen, freeing up TV real estate for the rest of the players. Each mode supports up to four players, with player one using the GamePad and the rest using Wii Remotes held sideways. The game is clearly built for multiplayer, with four modes to choose from. There are some pretty unique and fun weapons to find, including the awesomely-named “colossus missile” that’s essentially a nuclear bomb capable of devastating the landscape.
Power-ups - which are scattered throughout the stages and are dropped by enemies - will override your default attack, so no weapon management is necessary. Any vertical aiming is all done automatically – all you need to do is point your tank and what you want to blow up and push the button. It’s deceptively simple, as the controls only employ the analog stick and one button. Tank! Tank! Tank! has a simple premise: hop into your tank and blow up some monsters. Apparently someone at Namco Bandai was really burning the midnight oil, because Tank! Tank! Tank! somehow manages to drop the ball. Tanks with crazy weapons fighting giant robot monsters in expansive, destructible cities seems like a concept that you’d have to work pretty hard to screw up.
Every so often a video game comes along with a concept so amazing that copies should come with a roll of duct tape to keep consumers from having their faces rocked off.
