![]() ![]() I don't have a good sense of the time this will take yet: after all, there's kind of the small detail that my brother and I are a two-hour drive away from each other, haha. ![]() Wow, alright, I'm sold! This is actually the response I was hoping for.Īlright then, I just called my brother, we're in. What do you guys think? Interesting, or meh? We've never timed ourselves so I don't know a ballpark time, but if someone wants to know I can find out.Īnyway, I now leave this open to discussion. I think the two-player element of it would be the most interesting, personally (are there ANY multi-player runs on SDA? I actually don't know of any myself.). Just in case people don't know how this works: in the single player version of the game, you have lives and there's like 100 levels (I think), but in the TWO player game, there's only 20 levels, and there's NO lives, so if you die, you lose and have to start from the beginning! (It's okay if ONE person survives, although to make it interesting, we wouldn't even allow ANY deaths.) This would be a single-segment, two-player, no-death run of Wii Play Tanks. I come and ask, is ANYONE even REMOTELY interested in seeing a speed run for Wii Play Tanks? It wouldn't be THAT hard, but we're willing to do it if there's enough people asking for it. we got thinking, WHY don't we speed run the game and submit it? your bullets are limited (there can only be 5 of your bullets on the screen at one time, so you want to conserve a few for defensive purposes), and the fact that they can bounch off walls just opens up more doors for stragery.Īnyway, after a while we got so good at beating it, we joked that we should speed run the game and submit it. It wasn't just "rush the other tanks and shoot as fast as you can". Unlike all the other games on Wii Play (okay, fine, Find that Mii and a few others are fun SOMETIMES.), Tanks is one of those games that had a lot of hidden strategy to it. but for some reason it's just always been fun for us. As it stands, this is one battle worth avoiding.So my brother and I are the undisputed (and completely unproven) MASTERS at Wii Play Tanks. ![]() It feels way out of its depth on the Xbox, and instead would be much more at home as a £0.99 mobile app or, at a stretch, seeking out a new life on the Nintendo Switch, preferably only after some major improvements. Tanky Tanks on Xbox One is a bit of a mess really. For these reasons and more, Tanky Tanks feels very rough around the edges, almost unfinished. You can only exit the game by using the “home” button on the Xbox controller. Rather peculiarly, to round things off, when you select “quit” on the main menu, nothing happens. The game will also occasionally freeze for a second just before an explosion, and often drop its frame rate when dealing with several tanks and explosions at the same time. ![]() Talking of glitches in Tanky Tanks, and after a while the music will come to an abrupt halt, and then you will be forced to play only accompanied by the sound effects. But instead it was just pointless and distracting. All I could think of is that it was a help to aid aim, as the target does not have a line of sight linking back to your tank. I couldn’t do anything to move it, and it didn’t affect the game either. On a different note, rather oddly, as I played a small crosshair was fixed in the middle of the screen. Your aiming will seem bang on, however your missile will somehow glide past the enemy tank, leaving it undamaged. This all means that Tanky Tanks, whilst perfectly playable, controls really poorly overall, and it’s especially frustrating when you line up a shot and somehow miss. Also, your aiming target can go off-screen like a mouse cursor, so can get lost and be difficult to find. The aiming feels oversensitive throughout, with no option to tweak, meaning trying to land a shot on an enemy tank whilst moving can be extremely tricky. This leaves the controls feeling clunky, with you having to stop to fire accurately which leaves you vulnerable to losing a life. Sadly, you can’t use the right trigger to fire though, which feels like the natural choice whilst manoeuvring with the thumbsticks. Shots fired by every tank in the arena will bounce off walls numerous times, and not always in a predictable way either, so you’ll need to watch you don’t get caught out. You move around with the left thumbstick and aim with the right, using A to fire and B to lay down bombs. ![]()
