Think Tank Demo Review

For those who have enjoyed going to arcade centre whether it be in the grotty seaside tourist attractions or in your own back yard (local town). I am sure you have come across those 2D battlefield tank games or going back even further to Combat on your Atari 2600 console. I’m sure once playing Think Tank you will be able so see similarities between them.

Think Tank places you in the king of all metal land destruction machines and sends you across a 3D battlefield to search and destroy anything that crosses your path. There are strategically placed power-ups allow for special abilities for your cannon for a limited time and for health regenerations. There are also pads placed randomly across the battlefield that project your tank into the air giving you a bird’s eye view of the battlefield.

The graphics are excellent and has a simple coloured environment that the more avid gamer can acknowledge and respect.

The system requirements for this game are low, which means those of you with a low spec computer here is an enjoyable game for you. The game will work on three operating systems Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X. Although an Internet connection is needed to download, register and for online multimedia playing.

The player takes control of a cartoonist tank and has to defeat renegade bots that are hell bent on destroying you and each other. The control system is set to the common PC standard, with W, S, A, D being the movement controls and the mouse acting as action control.

The setup of these controls allows avid PC gamers to dive straight into the game but also allows the not so confident gamer to gain the skills without to much effort. Problems I found with the control system were the aiming system. Those with a low spec or wireless mouse may run into problems here as there is difficulty finding a compromise to the ever changing way of the targeting system.

Although the version of Think Tanks that I played was only a demo, I believe if I had played the full version I would have found the game even more enjoyable. By this I mean I would have had accessibility to the multilayer function and been able to play and complete other levels and unlock other tanks on solo player.

This type of game genre may not be for all but I’m sure once you have tried and played the game for a while you will at least acknoledge what the creaters have tried to accomplish. A lot of hard work, time and effort went into producing this game.

To conclude I give this game a thumbs up and award it four out of five stars.
