    Death Tank is one of my favourite retro game remakes in quite some time and you would do well to pick it up. The price is slightly steep considering the lack of single player content, but you do get a polished and incredibly fun multiplayer experience which deserves to be played.

    A fun title that epitomises XBLA's theme - quick arcade action for minimal outlay.

    It’s fantastic fun for a same-screen multiplayer game, and could foster the kind of trash talk we like our games like that to elicit.

    At 800 points this would be essential - but the extra three quid is a no-no. [May 2009, p.105]

    At $15, Death Tank is ludicrously overpriced. [Feb 2009, p.85]

    Death Tank is a well made game but does not offer any mind blowing features. At the current overpriced price point, Death Tank is tough to recommend.

    Death Tank is essentially a mad version of Worms, but there is a reason why games of this nature tend to be turn based, the action is so frantic that it is down to complete luck whether you survive rather than skill.

    However, the game itself is excellent and will induce frequent group shouting sessions online as the last 2 tanks duke it out over the flaming remains of other opponents with a pixel of life left each and an orbital bombardment raining down on them as they do it.
    Pure gaming brilliance.
    Bad reviews of this game are just by people who didn't 'get' the game. Let's hope the huge library of games on XBLA don't end up with this diamond getting lost in all the dirt.
    Once again, Excellent game, shame it's overpriced... I still bought it though :)    … Expand
