    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.

    There’s not a ton of depth in the package, and the $15 price tag seems steep, but frantically blowing away opponents is addictive enough to elicit numerous return trips to the mountains for more carnage.

    Forget Worms and all the rest, when it comes to parabola-judging multiplayer mayhem this is the best.

    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.

    One of the most enjoyable experiences I have had on Microsoft’s Live service. Games are usually full of accidental hilarity punctuated with the odd showcase of raw skill.

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

    Death Tank is a fun little game that's best experienced with a bunch of friends, because blowing them up is always a good time.

    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 :)    … Full Review »
