The game Scorched Earth is a great classic game that everyone loves. This is a great combat game that involves tanks and lots of strategy. It starts off with picking the amount of players you want to play with, as well as the names of the tank. I love the fact that you can actually name your tank instead of just having player 1 and player 2. This game also doesn’t limit the amount of players to two. You can have up to ten players and determine if you want them to be computer controlled or if one of your friends would like to play.
From there on you take turns to control your tank with the power meter that you use, as well as the angle of the tank gun. You can also take the option of moving your tank to a different position. This is where the strategy comes in because if you were close to hitting your opponent you then have to change your angle and power settings to counter act the move you made.
After each level, you have the option of buying weapons from a store. I like this feature a lot because there are some really fun weapons, everything from napalm, to water, to extra dirt. All the items in the store aren’t all weapons; you can buy shields to protect
yourself as well as other defensive measures like a parachute just in case you are blown of a cliff or something of that sort. After each level, you buy the items from the store you earn money in the level depending on how you do in the game. If you are the last guy standing you receive the most money and then go onto the next level.
The graphics of this game are not great at all. Personally it doesn’t matter to me, but there are a lot of people that graphics matter and that’s the only thing that matters. To me that is idiotic because some of the great games in the history of video games, the graphics are terrible. A prime example of this would be Mario Bros. Arguably one of the best games ever made. So if you are looking for a combat game with the best graphics possible, this is not the game for you. But if you are looking for a great game, with great features, this is the combat game for you! There is no other combat tank game that will keep you entertained for hours. Play Scorched Earth!
