Taking a page from the popular Worms series, this well-designed game puts a rocket in your pocket so you can take out other enemy tanks. While the game is enjoyable, however, it doesn't hold up in terms of design against other similar games. The game menu is too clever, for one. Each time you select a menu option, your choice "animates" and flies across the program window. This process takes so long, however, that during testing we got bored. Overall the program window is well designed, with large, easy-to-read buttons. Unlike Worms, there is no voice-over during the action, which we missed. That said, the background music is very entertaining. To play, select a weapon in turn with your opponent, choose the angle of your shot and how powerful you want the shot to be, and the fire away. The simplistic graphics don't necessarily take away from the enjoyment, yet there's no option to play online or over a LAN, just against another player on the same machine in a "hot-seat" situation. If you like Worms, this game may appeal, but it's not at the top of the list.

Pros
Great artillery style gameplay, good enough graphics.
Cons
Some weapons seem to have too much drop.
Summary
Simple, yet always fun!

Pros
The large variety of weapons to use, especially with added weapon packs allow for different strategies to formed, and with random weapons every time, the gameplay is always different! Pocket Tanks also uses very little system resources.
Cons
One of the negative effects of having so many weapons is that players who don't own the game or play much may be confused with the variety of weapons. Other than that, there aren't many cons to consider at all!
Summary
Overall, Pocket Tanks is a brilliant, yet addictive, game that can be played over and over with out repetition. Now with the added functionality of LAN and the (secret) IP to IP mode, you can play against others much more easily! (the editor is going to have to re-review this game because of this)
Can be played with 2 people or against computer.

Pros
Very fun game. Graphics are good and has several challenging levels to choose from. Considering the upgrade for more weapons and tank moves. But the free version is great, but addicting!! A good friendly download.
Cons
I couldn't submit my reveiw unless I typed something in here.... well I did ;-)........... I have no cons to type. Just a fun, game!
Summary
I recommend downloading this game. It is very well done. You and your opponent/computer choose between several weapons to try and take each other out. Great game for kids and adults alike.

Developer’s Description

By BlitWise Productions

Blow up your opponent's tank by using the right amount of angle and thrust.

If you like games such as Warheads SE and Worms Armageddon, you will have a blast with this game. Pocket Tanks is designed to be the fastest game of artillery you'll ever play, with all the excitement of lobbing projectiles over a mound of dirt without the complicated details found in most artillery games. Select your angle and power, then fire a very unique arsenal of weapons at your opponent. Games are won based on points for good aiming. It is fun for the whole family. Version 1.3 includes LAN Game support, for playing a game on two separate computers through a local area network.
