TANK TANK TANK
SCORE: 82
I had to do some research to find out that
TANK! TANK! TANK! was an arcade game from a few years ago. Which makes
perfect sense after I played it on the Wii U. TANK! TANK! TANK! feels
like an arcade game. It looks like an arcade game, and it sounds like an
arcade game. You know what they say: "if it walks like a duck, and talks
like a duck it must be a duck.
The concept in TANK! TANK! TANK! is very simple. There are robotic giant
monsters attacking the city. It is up to the player to blow them all to
bits with their tanks. This is simple to do with the Wii U Gamepad and
the Wii Remotes. Thankfully there is more to TANK! TANK! TANK! than the
single player story mode.
I was not expecting TANK! TANK! TANK! to be such a fun multiplayer game.
There are a variety of different modes. The one that will get the most
attention is My Kong Mode. In this mode one family member becomes the
monster and the rest try to bring them down. It is three on one, but
totally in favor of the one.
TANK! TANK! TANK! has a really neat player identification. We pick a
helmet (which may consist of say an eye patch and a mustache), and the
Wii U Gamepad takes a picture of that player. Their face icon is over
their tank so players can always see who they are targeting. I like this
feature quite a bit.
Beating a level with a tank in story mode grants the player a medal.
Medals can also be earned in certain multiplayer modes. These are used
to unlock levels and new tanks. Part of the fun of TANK! TANK! TANK! is
to see the interesting power ups. Some of them do massive destruction.
TANK! TANK! TANK! is a violent game. We blow up each other and monsters.
We can also demolish entire city blocks. I leveled more than one city in
TANK! TANK! TANK!. The text from computer controlled characters during
story mode is very helpful. Their advice can help anyone become a better
player.
We enjoyed some great quality time thanks to TANK! TANK! TANK!. We also
got a laugh or two out of the different pictures we took with the
headgear. TANK! TANK! TANK! is a quirky little title that is best played
with three to four people.
