Today I have another guest post for you. This one comes in from Penny Cooper and is a review of the MMO blast-em-up "World of Tanks". Take it away, Penny:
Game: World of Tanks
Publisher: Wargaming.net
Type: Team based MMO
Score: 7/10
When video game makers release a game for free-to-play, many assume it not of the best quality. But World of Tanks breaks that notion and exuberates a grandeur that you are unlikely to have expected of a free game! What makes World of Tanks a class apart from other MMOs is its graphics. A straight “A” for the effort the makers have put in designing the tanks and the maps. World of Tanks can surprise you, if you play it without any expectations in mind.
An Introduction to the game
World of Tanks is a game developed by Wargaming.net, a Russian game studio. It is a massively multiplayer online game which is set up in the period of World War II. The tanks of Germany, the US and the Soviet Union are designed accurately keeping in mind the actual war tanks of that period.
Gameplay
It is a First person shooter game where instead of being a human shooter, you will be a tank! This might seem funny for someone who has never heard of this game, but once you start playing, it keeps you hooked. There are more than 100 tanks to choose from and up to 60 players can be involved per battle. There are two teams, each consisting of a maximum of 30 players. The first mode is a deathmatch, where each team is assigned a player randomly. The eventual rounds are the clan and flag deathmatches, where the player has to play hard to fit in the team he/she likes.
As a player, you have to find enemy tanks and destroy them. It surprisingly helps in busting stress but then again, the experience depends on the rest of the players too.
