Entertaining and light-hearted action

User Rating: 7.9 | Recoil (1999) PC
Quite entertaining vehicle shooter where you drive your tank around rather bland levels and blast a slew of enemies with a fun arsenal of different weapons. Although the story is ridiculous and the annoying in-game video mission briefings you receive from a group of underground resistance hackers(!) make you want to shot them instead of the enemy, the action is solid and the pace is full throttle. Occasionally levels seem more like puzzles, but most often it's open grounds. The tank can morph into other vessel types but it doesn't add that much to the gameplay and feels more of a gimmick than actually affecting tactics.

Multiplayer is quite entertaining, and some really fun maps make it an excellent timekiller for a while, although eventually it gets rather samey. Recommended to people who like light hearted action gaming flicks.
