Newbreview.com review: Battle Tanks (PSN)

User Rating: 7.5 | Tank Battles PS3
Show me a guy that doesn't want to drive a tank, blowing holes in walls and destroying enemy tank and I will show you a man with no soul. Show me the young boy who hasn't turned his bedroom floor into a monumental warzone with little toy tanks and plastic soldiers and I will show you the child who has clearly been the victim of parents who impose a joyless environment. Gameloft (the developers) are doing their best to reignite that flame of a guiltless, frantic, military firestorm with their PS3 title for the PSN – Battle Tanks.


The premise of the game is simple. You control a tank. You have to shoot things without getting shot. Not too complicated really. No convoluted story to contend with here. It's kill or be killed – simple as that. Well not quite. This PSN title features a fairly substantial campaign mode that can be played with one or two players. You progress from map to map by destroying any and all enemies on the screen. As you progress through the campaign you are faced with increasingly hazardous maps and more intelligent enemies. There are environmental obstacles to overcome such as thick mud, which slows down your tank and makes you a more vulnerable target. You also have to contend with piston powered walls which will crush your tank should you linger too long. Scattered across the maps are various power-ups that can be collected by both you and the enemy, so you need to be quick. Heat Seekers, Flamethrowers, Speed boost etc are all important to help you progress through the maps.
