Tank! Tank! Tank! Review, 7.7 out of 10 based on 6 ratings

I bought this game originally as I LOVED its spiritual prequel in the arcades, Tokyo Wars. So Tank! Tank! Tank! looked quite similar. However, TTT is a perfect example of why arcade games don’t work in the home in this day and age, while a 100% accurate port of an arcade game may have been acceptable in the 80′s and 90′s, they’re really far too light on content to justify anything more than either a budget game or a downloadable title. Tank! Tank! Tank! is neither and the fact Nintendo/Namco have the audacity to ask full price for this is disgusting, even more so because they haven’t implemented any online multiplayer features for a game that is screaming for them.

An arcade game’s sole purpose are short bursts of fun whilst draining your wallet, where as modern home games are designed for much longer periods of entertainment. 30-40 hours, rather than 60-90 seconds.

Seriously people, wait to for this to fall into the bargain bins. As paying anything more is just throwing away good money.

    Honestly it doesn’t look THAT bad, but yeah anything over $5-$10 is way too much for something this simple.

    Absolute madness to leave out online multiplayer and co-op from a game like this….it’s pretty much the only thing that could have saved a game that’s THAT limited.
    Also very over priced, should have been £14.99 at the most. A range of £14.99 games might actually be a decent idea for smaller devs to get some stuff out there on the shelves rather than being download only. But yeah, not a good game to demonstrate the Wii U’s potential with.
