Tank! Tank! Tank! review: running on empty

The structure is clearly intended for arcades, where players spend a dollar for a minute, then never play the game again The abominable campaign mode can be played solo or co-op and strings together a series of tank-versus-monster battles inspired by the Godzilla universe. You play as a tiny tank, collecting weapon power-ups and firing on the city's unwanted visitors — invaders such as a robo-gorilla, a frothy kraken and super-sized hornets.
