However, all of the vehicles are tanks, hence its name. The game itself is short, making it quite unpopular among gamers. It was also the very first PlayStation 2 title out the door. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Battletanx
series, since it has similar gameplay to that as well, and is made by the same company, 3DO
