    This game is awesome. Some reviews are giving it average scores because of what it is not. That is no way to review... This game IS deep, it DOES require understanding of the underlying mechanics, and it DOES require skill. Giving a game a lower score because it requires skill and is not a pick-up-and-play shooter is just amateur hour.

    IF the concept of tank warfare interests you, give this a try, give it a serious try. Do some reading up on the forums and youtube. You will reap rewards.

    See you on the battlefield.

    A welcome surprise to see WOT on PS4. I logged a lot of hours on the 360 version, having several tier X tanks. The graphic and audio upgrades for the PS4 are very well done. Despite my large garage of tanks on 360, I've made the jump to PS4 and am moving up the trees I did not play previously.

    For the new player, you really need to give the game some time. Initially I played for weeks before I even realized you can auto-throttle with L3, or zoom with R3. The game seems simple but really getting a hang of the mechanics and strategy takes time. Also picking the right challenges really helps progress faster in the early stages.

    The other aspect that makes WOT so fantastic is that the offering of Tanks on PS4 as of launch is only a fraction of the tanks that will be available in the months to come. Personally I can't wait until they drop the British heavies in there so I can rack up the hits on those bumbling Churchills.

    Only minor issue I have with the PS4 version is the inability to "mute all" via the option menu. I have a much higher opinion of my teammates when I don't have to listen to them.    … Expand

    great multiplayer fun which doesnt cost a dime, u really dont need to spend any money to have a great tank in this game.

    and all those keyboard/mouse "cheaters" dont have an advantage here(muahahaha). one can rock with the gamepad as well no problem to compete, which makes this one by far the best multiplayer shooter game on PS4 imho.

    Highly addictive, youve been warned lol..

    world of tanks is an awesome game. It is beautiful there are many many tanks to choose from. You can play it for hours without spending any money. I do spend money myself and I do not regret it. Some tanks can be very expensive to buy like type 59 which I have but it also feels special to have it. The game is not easy but it is hard to put it away.

    At first it was quite a struggle to get use to the handling of the tanks i lost count of how many times the body and turret were facing opposite directions however it is well worth perceiving as there is a very competitive multilayer game here, while frustrating at times Snipers as in any game they are annoying as hell but there is nothing more satisfying then sneaking up behind one andAt first it was quite a struggle to get use to the handling of the tanks i lost count of how many times the body and turret were facing opposite directions however it is well worth perceiving as there is a very competitive multilayer game here, while frustrating at times Snipers as in any game they are annoying as hell but there is nothing more satisfying then sneaking up behind one and exacting an explosive revenge.… Expand

    Es gratis, es de la segunda guerra mundial y tiene tanques. este juego esta bien mimado en detalles y ambientaicon , es un juego muy recomendable echarte unas partidas, eso si como siempre todo juego online te acabara aburriendo con el tiempo, pero al ser gratis que pierdes por probarlo

    I first played this game on the Xbox360, and it was a really good game, but the PS4 version improved it a ton! To start, the graphics and performance greatly improved the 7th gen graphics. You can now see explosions in full 1080p 60fps! This is probably the best tank video game around! Controls are great, gameplay is fun, and it gives you lots of different modes to play and there's moreI first played this game on the Xbox360, and it was a really good game, but the PS4 version improved it a ton!

Controls are great, gameplay is fun, and it gives you lots of different modes to play and there's more than plenty tanks to play with and there's no pay-to-win, even if there is DLC. The only downside is is that updates take WAY too long. First, you need to download the update on your PS4 which takes long enough, then you have to install it in game which takes longer than installing the game. But this has been a problem for all consoles and there's a minigame you can play while you wait. Overall this is a really great game and is definitely worth getting… Expand

    The best Free2Play game in Playstation 4. I played few months ago, and now when i back to this game, World of Tanks looks much better. Pretty fun with co-operations. In my opinion version on PS4 are working better than PC.

    This game is awesome! It has good graphics, maps, and an wide variety of tanks to choose from. My only complaint is that I have about a half-second delay when I move the tank on my controller to on the game.

    There many good things about WoT on PS4, including variety in tanks, maps and events. However, it is an MMO game that plays much better with a premium subscription and it requires A LOT of grinding for better tanks and upgrades. One word of warning: many of the expensive premium tanks are not at all worth buying.

    The PS4 edition of WoT is the prettiest of all HD versions but upon arrival offers less vehicles than its siblings on PC, Xboxes and even mobile devices. [03/2016, p.57]

    It’s as if you traveled to the past, changed some miniscule detail and time went along very similar but different timeline. On one hand, it’s the good old WoT prior to introduction of French tanks; on the other, now the valley on El Halouf map has a lot of vegetation instead of being a barren deathtrap, tank improvements are gained in packs, and weather has an effect on visibility. So even people who are sated with original WoT are prone to once again get that “just one more battle” syndrome. [Issue#207, p.66]
