If driving a powerful, armoured tank causing mass destruction is a dream of yours, then this game will satisfy all your violent urges.

You take control of one of a number of tanks. Each has its own individual attributes which give it advantages in some areas and disadvantages in others, but there is no obvious one to choose as it depends what tactics you will deploy on your enemy.

The main one-player game pits you against the CPU in numerous arenas in which you are set various challenges, which all involve mass destruction.

Challenges include deathmatch (kill your enemy before he kills you), domination (gain control of enemy bases), capture the flag, and frenzy (involving randomly placed flags).

The arenas are well-designed and large in size and quantity. Using the assortment of weapons you can collect, you can obliterate buildings and your enemy with consummate ease.

The game really comes into its own in multiplayer where you and three of your mates can pit your wits against each other and take enjoyment in blowing them to kingdom come.

The graphics are great and everything moves smoothly with spectacular explosions to boot. Sound wise, the American wrestling style commentary is amusing for an hour or two before they start to get on your nerves.
