If you're into complete and total destruction (a la "Blast Corps" for the Nintendo 64), then you'll have a hell of a time with Thunder Tanks. It will blow you away.
It can get a little hectic and the game's multiplayer modes don't seem quite as polished as what you get with "TimeSplitters" and "Unreal Tournament," but it's very fun nonetheless and is an good option for those who want more than just a first-person shooter.
While this magnificently dumb galoot blatantly treads on common ground, it leaves a lasting trail of wreckage that gamers will happily follow.
It has most of the necessary ingredients to turn four friends with beer (or soda, for the tykes out there) into a night of simple, over-the-top, tank-based explosions and partying. Don't expect a one-player game though.
The company also has a reputation for releasing fairly polished but rather dull titles, and WDL is no exception in this area, either.
The tanks are cool and feature gritty design and nice detailing -- but their animation sets are pretty limited and the sensation of piloting an actual, steely titan is somewhat lacking.
Tries hard with a macho attitude, but there isn't anything satisfying underneath. Instead, you get a mish mash of tired game concepts thrown into an industrial blender, fingers crossed that the pulpy results will come out a tasty brew.

Summary Welcome to Wednesday Night WarJetz, the year 2062's favorite post-nuclear war, televised aerial dogfighting extravaganza featuring fanatical pilots in nine different souped-up, artillery laden planes in 33 arenas which blast the living hell out of anything that moves, earning money en route to the WDL championship.
