Today I will be reviewing a game recommended to me by a work-mate: Crazy Tanks
Crazy Tanks is 59p on the App Store and developed by bootant.com. It's a very simple concept; you're a tank, driving around an arena shooting other tanks. The arenas are pretty basic, but still very cool-looking. As you go through the levels more enemy tanks are added, as well as turrets. To fire your cannon simply tap the screen, and tilt your iDevice to drive. My favourite feature of this fun little app is that cannonballs bounce off of the arena, so you can pull off some pretty awesome rebound shots!
Now, the shooting is perfect, but the movement needs improving. To turn 180 degrees whilst accelerating (which happens often) you have to tilt the iPod almost 180 degrees itself, which makes it rather awkward, and stops movement from being fluid. Also, the radar, which shows you where your enemy is, is pretty rubbish. The tanks turn too much for you to actually figure it out, making the radar useless.
Final Verdict: A good little shooter, with a few improvements it could be great. 6.5 out of 10.
Check back tomorrow for my review of Fastlane Street Racer!
