Classic Game Room HD – TANK-TASTIC! for Xbox 360 review

Posted by admin On March - 31 - 2010

Classic Game Room HD reviews TANK-TASTIC! for Xbox 360, available for download in the indie games section of Xbox Live. Tank Tastic is a Robotron-style game that uses twin stick style controls for tank mayhem. CGR doesn’t care for the graph paper “look how indie it is” look to the game, but the gameplay itself is fantastic. Your tank cannot fire very quickly, and if you hold down the shoot button it fires in three shot bursts that take an eternity to reload. Therefore you spend more time in Tank-Tastic dodging enemy fire and aiming rather than just gunning away. Four player local multiplayer makes Tank-Tastic a fantastic party game with addictive gameplay and solid controls. There are challenge levels (many of which are damned hard) and some game play variations as well. Tank-Tastic is a good example of a game in the indie marketplace that could easily fit into the more mainstream crowd with a simple, time tested style of gameplay mixed with some clever, unique elements of its own. Those who enjoy Geometry Wars, Robotron 2084 of Burn, Zombie Burn should give Tank-Tastic a look. This CGR review of Tank-Tastic on Xbox 360 has gameplay from Tank Tastic showing Tank-Tastic! game play in HD action. It’s a twin stick video game shooter with tanks!

@elpueblano009 That’s alright. Not everyone can appreciate simplistic game play.

@ysage what does that have to do with anything? i’m making the obvious point that we don’t need any more robotron dual stick shooter games

Some of this gameplay reminds me of Combat for the Atari.

that’s the whole point of Indie or Independent Games – to have “anyone” make games

Now I wish I hadn’t loaned my friend m 360…cause I want to play this game. Indie section usually makes up what it lacks in visuals with affordable prices and TONS of great gameplay.

Hi people, Happy April Fool’s Day!!

An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, the eternal pessimist who refused to be impressed with anything. This, surely, would impress him. He invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.
As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.
The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, “Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?”
“I sure did,” responded the pessimist. “He can’t swim.”

Happy April Fool’s Day!
