A powerhouse at multiplayer, a pinto at single player, if you have a group of friends or the patience to wait for the online players, this is a must have.
The control scheme is impressive, the multi-player mode is entertaining and the mission structure is solid, but the visuals and audio presentation really could have used a bit of work; plus the game is simply too short.
As the Story Mode can be cleared in a couple of hours you're left to find fun in one of the game's simple multiplayer modes (download play or Wi-Fi) but these do little to enliven the repetitive and staccato move, stop, point, shoot, flow of play leaving a meagre and shallow title that's difficult to recommend.
Tank Beat isn't much fun. There's very little to it, and what is there is bland, and simplistic. If there's one feat developer MileStone managed to pull off, it's how dull it managed to make the act of blowing up tanks. That might be a fascinating accomplishment, but it makes for an utter bore of a game.
The game needed a lot more time in development and it never got that opportunity to mature.
A more accurate name would have been Tank Crap.
When compared to a game released in 1977 that was really only one step more complex than Pong, Tank Beat got… beat.

Players engage in a variety of missions and commandeer a full range of tanks: from tiny scrappers, to missile carriers, to giant Panzers. The game will ship with three modes: Story, Skirmis...
