Fun Game But Add-Ons are $$$$$

UPDATE: I’ve been playing this game for a couple of weeks now. Here is the lesson I have learned:
Unless you are willing to spend money for upgrades you are quickly outclassed. The games arrange teams of tanks within one class of each other. However, if you haven’t spent money upgrading your tank to the max you find that your shells do not penetrate, your armor is too thin and a quick exposure to the other team’s fire destroys your tank.

Yes, it is a lot of fun BEFORE the opposing side has bought their mega-tanks. And if you don’t get out your wallet to match these uber-tanks — tough luck.

The designers are very skilled in incentivizing costly upgrades.

A recent review warned readers of the potential cost. Quite true. Before downloading this game be aware that anything beyond the introductory phase and a couple of tank levels means spending actual money to move up to the biggest tanks.

That said, the developers have put together a really fun tank game. You move around realistic landscapes, dealing with the strengths and weaknesses of your particular tank and those of your opponents. Each battle puts you into a team of 7 and you try to destroy the other team of 7 tanks. Or you occupy the target area for 100 seconds to win. You are paired with tanks of fairly equal power but game experience shows early in each game. The team with the most experience quickly gain the advantage.

I am a klutzy gamer so I end up destroyed more often than I survive the game.

But it is a great deal of fun and runs seamlessly on my Macbook Pro 13’.
