    1200 points is WAAAYYY too expensive. It should be 800points max.
    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

    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 :)

    The original was awesome, and the fact that the original is included makes it well worth the price. those of you who don't see the classic game, shoot down the airplane that occasionally comes in multiplayer to unlock death tank classic. it has more weapons than the updated version if at the cost of reduced graphics.

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

    Ahh, good times. [Issue#39]
  3. 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.
