    Plan your actions, think strategically, and a lot of fun can be had.

    WoT is virtually identical to its counterparts on PC and Xbox 360, with visuals adapted to the possibilities of the console. It needs time to make the most of it, but being free-to-play, it is always worth a try.

    There might be something special to World of Tanks, but it's not something that's immediately apparent; it's something that only shows itself after a significant investment. The gameplay can be rewarding at times, but most won't have the patience (or the money) to ever get to that point.

    World of Tanks is a soulless experience on Xbox One. It is solely about you as an individual racer and it only makes you hungry to upgrade, instead of it being a nice multiplayer experience. World of Tanks does not even try to make the experience meaningful, it is only out to get your time and your money.

    World of Tanks is an unfriendly, greedy game that sometimes will offer you a good time. The surroundings look fine and it's fun to drive around in a tank. The gameplay is very self-interested, as you are constantly trying to get the best tank for yourself, which does not really fit with the multiplayer characteristics of the gameplay.

    This game is free to play initially until you get to around tier 5 where the game becomes an intolerable grind to upgrade or by new tanks. AtThis game is free to play initially until you get to around tier 5 where the game becomes an intolerable grind to upgrade or by new tanks. At tier 5, you realise that 50% of this game is "locked" because you need to either spend THOUSANDS of hours grinding for a single tank or spend HUNDREDS of pounds to make the grind slightly easier (although it would still take ages even after paying). So for most ordinary gamers, you will NEVER reach the higher tier tanks unless you play 24/7 or pay up. The business model for this game is disgraceful and is like dangling a carrot infront of gamers to get them to pay.

    I haven't even got round to the unbalanced games which include horrendously mismatched tank tiers, ridiculous hit registration and what feels like match fixing (all exist to get you to pay no doubt). The game is also boring and repetitive, with only one multiplayer gamemode.

    Oh and it should be called "world of campers" because most players camp because they are scared of being two shot killed by someone with "premium" ammo or a superior tank. Because if they die theres no respawn. Just waiting until the next game. How lame is that?

    Its such a shame because the game COULD have been a great "tank call of duty" if it was a normal, £40 multiplayer game in the shops. But the shady business model of this "free to play" game ruins it.

    Avoid this game. It will only frustrate you.    … Full Review »
