I was reading the article Mattie Behrens wrote the other day about difficulty plateaus. He's not going to be happy when I tell him there are actually 100 levels in the game! Between bouts of studying (he's in doctor school) he comes down and hones his skills, even when I'm not around-starting over again and again, hoping to one day reach the fabled level 20. He's not a big gamer, but has gotten just as hooked on Tanks as me. Lately, I've been playing two-player with my good friend Matt (he's always the red tank). Maybe a modern game forcing you to own up to your mistakes is the real draw. Perhaps starting over is the key to Tanks, though. It's kind of a cooperative style of play, but you are not discouraged from killing each other, as long as you don't both die and lose the mission. Multiplayer mode is where the magic happens though: you get just one life as does your partner (henceforth called the red tank). Single player mode gives you three lives and it's good practice. You start off facing one tank, and eventually fight crazy rocket tanks that are invisible and laugh at your silly opaque ways. If you get hit by a mine, rocket, or bullet, you die if you hit another tank with one of your mines or bullets, it dies. Bullets can also collide with other bullets and stop them mid-flight. Bullets ricochet once off any wall they hit, creating a bit of tactical depth for those who are into such things. The A button lays a mine (which will blow you up if you stay too close) and the B trigger shoots bullets-five at a time, to be precise. Using the nunchuk you steer a small blue toy tank through a toy-like environment of wooden blocks and destroy other tanks. Like arcade games of old, a loss means you start from level one all over again. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii’s component cables at 60 frames per second.Tanks is not one of Nintendo's "reinventing the wheel" completely new game experiences a la Brain Age or Wii Fit: it is an arcade game at heart. It took Drew and me several tries to beat this mode, but we had fun each time. This actually makes things a bit more challenging.

Instead, so long as one player survives each mission, you’ll get to continue on. In the two-player mode you can only complete the first 20 stages, which is a bit disappointing since the single-player mode has 100 stages.Īlso, unlike the single-player mode, you don’t have any live with two players. It looks incredibly simple, but the game is actually very challenging. Tanks! is probably the best game in this title. It reminds me of a lot of the simple black box NES games I played as a kid. It’s a shame I waited so long because the game is actually quite fun.

However, I never got around to buying it until 2011, mostly because I made the mistake of listening reviewers who bashed the game. I had actually been interested in getting Wii Play since shortly after I got my Wii in early December 2006 because it looked like more of Wii Sports. My old two-player footage of Wii Play was only posted in 30 fps, and since Drew and I enjoy this game so much, we decided to record some new multiplayer footage in 60 fps. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U). This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Tanks! mode of Wii Play for the Wii.
