Tank! Tank! Tank! is an action video arcade game that was released in 2009 to a Japanese and North American market.

The Wii U version was also released with the system's launch in November 2012. Whilst a retail-only title in most markets, the game was initially launched in Japan as a downloadable free-to-play game in December 2012 via Nintendo eShop, and got a retail release in February 2013. The game is also free-to-play in Europe in February 14, 2013.[5]

Gameplay

In this game, the player controls a tank and has to shoot monsters with ammunition.[6] A player's photo is taken with a nearby camera (dubbed the NamCam - short for "Namco Camera") and is used as an avatar to identify each player's tank.[6] Two examples of monsters confronted in the game are red dragons and giant spiders.[6] Each level contains destructible elements and weapons range from a plasma bolt to a machine gun.[6] Accessories can be added to the avatars, such as military helmets and wrestling masks.[6] Collateral damage against the city background is encouraged in addition to dealing damage to the monsters that inhabit the game.

Players can either divide themselves into two rival teams, team up to fight the monsters in a co-operative manner, or fight against each other in an "every man for himself mode."[6][7]

Weapons

  • Plasma Bolt - allows the player to fire a bolt of plasma at the opponent
  • Machine gun - similar to a modern-day machine gun used by most armies
  • Missile Rack - a rack of potent missiles that can deal a devastating amount of damage to the enemy
  • Colossus Missile - a giant missile that can deal more damage than an entire missile rack
  • Mega-Beam - fires a gigantic laser beam at an adversary
  • Flamethrower - shoot a stream of fire

Reception

Tank! Tank! Tank! has received mostly mixed reviews, averaging a 50% on Metacritic. Kevin Knezevic of GamesRadar called it "a fun little diversion" but noted that the single-player lacked much depth.[8] Kyle Bell of Game Freaks 365 called Tank! Tank! Tank! "quite possibly the worst launch title that I have ever played."[9] GamerCheese criticized the game for being below standard for a Wii U launch title, stating "...the lack of online play...make(s) this title suffer."[10] Nintendo Power gave the game a 3.5 in the magazine's last issue.
