    Still free to play, World of Tanks brings explosive action and hours of fun with each sitting that will make it hard to put down. Veterans and new players alike can appreciate the upgrades that Wargaming.net has implemented, making for a solid title that's still one of the best free to play games on the market.

    There's not much change compared to the PC version, but it works just as well on Xbox One.

    As a free to play game, there’s no barrier of entry to speak of. If the game’s concept has ever intrigued you, give it a download — it’s excellent and something all shooter fans should try out.

    World of Tanks offers enough tense action and team-based strategy that can be enjoyable even for those who aren’t usually into war-themed games—all for the unbeatable price of free. Unfortunately, the experience is marred at times by a level of unfriendliness for new players, and a long grind at higher levels for those not willing to shell out major cash.

    World of Tanks is an unfriendly, greedy game that sometimes will offer you a good time. The surroundings look fine and it's fun to drive around in a tank. The gameplay is very self-interested, as you are constantly trying to get the best tank for yourself, which does not really fit with the multiplayer characteristics of the gameplay.

The match maker can feel a bit rigged sometimes and if you're just starting out guaranteed you'll be playing against ppl that under stand all the game concepts i.e. spotting range, signal range for radio, camo factor and your most important crew perks and equipment along with actual camo paint.

    This game is very definitely a great one, though it does have some flaws.

    First up, the gameplay is great. It has happened on a number of times, that I have been put on a team, and there was some brilliant teamwork going on - more so than other games. There are a massive variety of playstyles, and tanks, available. The game definitely rewards more methodic play than might be seen elsewhere - if you die, you're out, and it's back to the garage, but if you can survive, and last the round, putting shots on target, you'll wrap up with a nice chunk of silver and xp.

    There are a lot of mechanics which can be confusing to understand, and it does take a bit of time. What's important to understand, is that this game has a lot of mechanics that you would expect from a simulator, so there may be plenty of small things you're missing out on, which might be why you may not have killed that guy you shot at earlier, or whatever.

    The game does definitely become a grind as you move on through the tanks, but only at the very late stages of each tech tree. Every now and again, there may be some small things which might seem crazy, but these are very, very rare. There are microtransactions, and though they aren't necessary, you can get more in game currency, and so on and so forth.

    Nonetheless, this game is an absolute blast. It is highly entertaining, with a massive variety of tanks, and a large number of maps, and a fair few explosions to sweeten the deal. There is nothing quite like you and your whole team just rolling out at the start of a round, ploughing through a village, and proceeding to trade shots with 15 hostile tanks. Very definitely worth a look.

    Truly deserves a 10, but it can sometimes feel like a grind. It is definitely one of my favourite releases this year.

    A decent game however very arcade like feeling to it, feels like the baby of Call of Duty and War Thunder. Not much to complain about exceptA decent game however very arcade like feeling to it, feels like the baby of Call of Duty and War Thunder. Not much to complain about except the blatant pushing of the monetization as well as it being very much reliant on you paying to progress Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game does not teach people to play.
    The game has multiple types of tanks, but everyone just do the same thing whenever it is light or medium or heavy or tank destroyer.
    Players don't read map. Players don't use map to help a team.
    Players don't need different maps, they need a simple tonel, everything else is too hard.
    Players can do nothing and still progress.
    This gane is too hard for 80% of players.
    Developer does nothing to improve gameplay.

I have the Deathstar TD which was once fearedWargaming.net has nurfed the game with the latest update so bad that it is no longer enjoyable! I have the Deathstar TD which was once feared by all tanks, now you can hit the broad side of a tier 9 batchhat and only track him or better yet hit the front of a IS-3 (tier 8) and only do 200 damage....pathetic! The arties have been nurfed bad also. I was using the T-92 american artillery and had one track damage shot out of 9 shots! Every circle was completely around the target and they were not moving, but every shot would either go over or fall short. I am ready to uninstall the game if things are not fixed! I don't expect to hit a tank every time, but the T-92 has the largest splash damage and if you miss a tank with the smallest aiming que, then why even have one! You have destroyed a once decent game!! Expand
