 Hi Fred! September 25, 2008
Jared Bryant (Huber Heights, Ohio United States)
Years ago in High School I had a massive migraine headache that lasted for five days. I stayed home from school and ended up going to the emergency room. But in those five days I had the chance to play the hell out of this game. The concept is a lot like the Terminator and the Matrix. It's a distopian future wasteland where the machines have taken over the world, humans have retreated underground and there's very little atmosphere left on the surface to support human life.
Through cut scenes the story is told in the form of outtakes of commercials. Some time in the 2000's a law was passed to make hyper intelligent computer controlled weapons. They made a cute mascot Tank for various TV spots with a silly charming child like wit to help sell the killing machines to the public. This Mascont was Tiny Tank. He saw how ridiculous it was that he was cute as hell but still had an 8mm canon for a nose and is a highly lethal killing machine.
The enemy mutank leads the machines for a hundred years until a lone satelite in space is reactivated and reactivates Tiny Tank to save humanity and reclaim the surface world. Each stage comes with another out take from the commercial spots, filled with funny little one liners providing the back story leading the the machines uprising.
At the beginning of each stage you get a briefing from the satellite and Tiny Tank desceneds from the sky on a little rocket platform. The game is a little bit like Mega Man, the weapons of the enemies can be claimed after defeating them, you gain power ups and can customise your weapons by alocating more or less energy to them, you can spawn little mini tanks that'll follow you around and gather power ups. You can take weapons from the bosses as well. The first Boss is a giant robot with a cowboy hat which can be claimed after defeating him. Which you will keep until you die. During Missions there's a talk radio call in show lead by the super computer villain and other machines and call in talking about your progress through the game...much like what happens in the GTA series with the radio news updates.
This is a hell of a good game and it's going for a little less than $5 now on Amazon...you should definitely pick up a copy.

his wee little cannon up your arsenal! This game has to be one of the best games ever for the Playstation. The cinematics for this game is truly funny, and one gets to witness a cute little tank go psycho on the producer of the commercial. Additionally, the storyline is exceptionally deep, and actually follows the suit: the creator becomes the destructor, and it applies to both the good and bad sides. The control of the tank is very fluid. Additionally, as one progresses through the levels, one gains the attire of fallen bosses. The camera angles are actually very good as well. You generally won't get broadsided generally, and the radar is fairly accurate. The two major faults of this game is that the game areas are entirely too small generally and the graphics is somewhat primitive, even for the Playstation. On the first issue, the game designers attempted to increase the size of levels, but one has to wait for the second part of the level to load. Overall, the game levels are fun, especially when you slide down Mutank Mountain or launch Tiny into space on the Space Track. One last commendable feature: the music video of "Tank Boy," especially commendable during our current War on Terrorism.This game is like Mister Mosquito for the Playstation 2. True, the game has its faults, but the funny and excellent gameplay outweighs its minor faults. My last hope: Please, please revive Tiny Tank for the Playstation 2!

This game has a very good plot that might be too hard to understand for simple-minded folks who might think it "cheesy" or "stupid", but if you have the native intelligence to appreciate both the plot and the wit, you'll love it. The graphics are excellent and if you pay close attention you'll notice that a lot of effort went into the making of this game--more so, in fact, than in many other video games. The vast array of pleasing weaponry you can acquire within the levels can make even the most violent and bloodthirsty (oilthirsty?) players grin from ear to ear. The FMV sequences were hilarious and very intelligently written--especially when Tiny argues with his director about the validity of a "cute killing machine". There was a fantastic variety of incredible music, ranging from rock to techno to a sort of heavy metal to some pieces I don't think I can categorize successfully. The music was also peppered with radio shows of the villainous Mutank, who encourages his metal followers to shoot anything that moves, among other things. If you listen to these radio shows, you'll hear Mutank speaking with some of your future adversaries about their weaknesses and strenths. You'll also hear an interesting change of tone near the end of the game, as Mutank's companion "Bob" takes over the show while Mutank prepares to fight. There are even some very funny robot commercials for products like "Rust-Away" and "TOS-Targeting Optimized Software". One thing I like is that you can listen to every piece of music and every radio show on the options screen, unhampered by gameplay. The controls are fluid and comfortable and the levels are challenging but not impossible. If I was given the chance to make a movie, Tiny Tank would be a serious consideration, and I think the game should have a sequel, provided it has the same wit and humor and action the first game has. They really should make a movie--it would definitely work as a movie.

Whatever other reviewers say... you go for it but when i played this game... WoW! it's great and CUTE. Aside from cute you can have weapons of massive destruction. Me and my friends play the Battle mode of thos game since it has a one-on-one capability to play each other or as Tiny Tank says: I think i'm shooting myself! =)
