ThinkTanks is a tank combat game designed to be a blast for the new and
|
|
experienced gamer alike with lighthearted, fast paced pandemonium. Either
|
|
battling against brain-hungry bots in solo play or going head-to-head against
|
|
others online, ThinkTanks has something for everyone.
|
|
|
|
You find yourself in a ThinkTank... just one of many brain slaves imprisoned by
|
|
Alien Mind Control-- only you have managed to escape their brain rays. But the
|
|
moment you are free, you are besieged on all sides by insane bot-tanks. You must
|
|
destroy or be destroyed and keep on your toes at all times. Luckily you can
|
|
collect powerups that give you wacky weapons to help you stay alive. As you
|
|
progress through each level, the bot tanks get smarter, stronger and crazier as
|
|
Alien Mind Control reprograms the bot tanks to match your wits. Your goal is to
|
|
beat the bosses, then rescue your brain-brethren and continue the fight on other
|
|
worlds.
|
|
|
|
Upon entering, you are immediately engaged by heavy artillery. This is
|
|
no-holds-barred warfare and to the victor go the points. You can be catapulted or
|
|
thrust in any direction by rolling over the boost and jump pads to escape attack
|
|
or rush the enemy. The lush, green hills are scattered with bots on the warpath,
|
|
bots choking in their own smoke, floating orbs with special powers and
|
|
ammunition, boulders, trees, AND the dreaded pit of doom. The goal here is to
|
|
keep your brain intact, and triumph over bots of every shape, size, speed and
|
|
skill.
|
|
|
|
You are cast into a veritable feeding frenzy of tanks. You need to simultaneously
|
|
track the position of your tank relative to the scrum ball using your radarscope,
|
|
while navigating your tank along the bumpy terrain. If you are quick enough to
|
|
pick up the ball yourself, you must make a mad dash to the goal, evading the
|
|
thirsty pack of mad bots heavy on your trail. You win by capturing the most scrum
|
|
balls in the allotted time.
|
|
|
|
Both On-line BattleMode and Scrum games have team-play variants and online chat
|
|
that allow players to play together cooperatively.
