    This game deserves an updated review as now it is available on the eShop as a free-to-play game and you can get all of the essential game modes for about $20 if you so choose. But, you can play the multiplayer, the true gem of this game, as many times as you want for as little as $1.99.

    This game excels in its simplicity, anyone should be able to pick up a controller and play without the problem of a learning curve. Players only need to worry about two things: 1. driving; and 2. shooting. The story mode can get a become boring but if you are a gamer used to anything with a "grind", i.e. MMORPG's, you'll feel right at home unlocking all the medals.

Tank! are: 1. Co-op limits you second player to use the same tank regardless of what you've unlocked; 2. Multiplayer requires you to retake pictures of each other before the start of each round; 3. and the ability to rotate your turret during movement is not an available feature. Overall it is a fun game but when placed against Nintendoland as a party title it's hard to measure up to the competition.… Expand

    The worst launch title of the group. I twas supposed to be an arcade game but I never saw it at one of the few arcades I have been in over the last 3 or 4 years.

Everyone who played it thought the same thing. $55 too much and pretty much crap that was released in the hope to get a few sales. Not only is it the worst launch title on the Wii U, I can't think of a worse game launched with a console period. Yes.....It is that bad. I am actually gonna give it a point since the developers and publishers actually had the balls to release it in the first place.… Expand

    This game is amazing. It's not the most involving experience, and it may be light on content, but it is a heck of a lot fun. Even alone, shooting mosters with tanks is fun, but it really shines when you have some friends around to team up on some bad guys, or go head to head.

Even alone, shooting mosters with tanks is fun, but it really shines when you have some friends around to team up on some bad guys, or go head to head. Now the main problem in this game is the amount of grinding needed to complete the single-player campaign. Each mission requires you to have a certain amount of medals to unlock it. But every so often, a mission comes up where you need to more than double your medal count, so you will have to replay old missions with other tanks. Some tanks are virtually unusable, but with enough practice, you might barely pass. Luckily you can take on these mission with a friend, so you never actually have to play the game alone. This may not be the best choice of spending $50, and if you can get a discount I would say buy it immediately, but if you buy it full price, you probably won't regret it.… Expand

    This game is great fun. It's a simple shooter so it's great if you have kids. My kids think it's awesome. My wife and I enjoy playing the co-op campaign and with that one person get the full tv while the other uses the screen on the GamePad. I had 3 11-year old over playing it and they loved it.

    Good game for a quick multiplayer blast. The single player story mode is surprisingly long with lots of tanks to unlock and lots of levels.

    All in all a solid purchase.

    I bought this game because my friend recommended it. It was a mistake. Tank! Tank! Tank! is probably the worst game for Wii U. The graphics aren't that bad but everything else is very bad. Multiplayer should have been implemented in a better way. The game does not have enough elements and that is why the game gets boring quite soon.

    A great game to play with friends, Tank Tank Tank's biggest flaw is just that. The game relies way too much on local multiplayer.
    Single player mode gets rather repetitive and with no online, the game is doomed a a forgettable footnote in the WiiU's launch.

    Es una lastima que un juego con tanto potencial como lo pudo ser este, se limitase solo a un multijugador de mediana calidad y una historia, cuyo único requisito para jugarla es pagar USD 9.99 y que según las reseñas de paginas especializadas es un modo de juego mediocre. Lastima por este juego, que se veía mas prometedor.

    It's frustrating to pick and choose the photo before entering combat. The game tries to make the controls are easy (using only the d-pad and buttons) and before starting the combat the controls are explained but when you are in a combat the tank rotates without using the d-pad and then realizes that turning the control the tank rotates causing frustration.

    A simple shoot 'em game that is childhood arcade fun for the kids and a great game to pick up for adults and join in the fun with no practice. Good luck. Have a fun time.

    This game is fun for adults and kids. It does not deserve anything less than 6/10. Multiplayer battles are great with friends and family. Kong battles will provide lots of amusement, enemy capabilities unknown. Single player mode is fine in short bursts, you will need tactics and skill to go far in this mode.

    Tanks is good fun as a multiplayer game with a bunch of people that just want to shoot at each other. Worth a laugh and is now free on the eShop. Worth a try and good fun, especially with younger children.

    No es un juego para todo mundo pero si tienes un poco de tiempo libre y unos amigos con los cuales jugar se hace bastante entretenido. Si es para jugar solo no lo podria recomendar mucho.

    The cons: This game is grindy, simple, and repetitive. Your only controls are the control stick to move and the A button to fire.

    The Pros: it doesn’t make much sense; but I just found this game to be such stupid fun.

    Aside from a few moments of tank on robot action, Tank! Tank! Tank! fails to live up to the promise of its gloriously stupid name. [March 2013, p.84]
