Here is a quickie – Namco’s latest offering, Tank! Tank! Tank! is on location test in Japan at the moment and as proof, see the supplied picture above. According to the test report at Kobayan, the cabinet has two foot pedals, one for forward motion and the other for reverse; as we saw in a previous video both the steering wheel and the seat have force feedback and the cabinet has a camera to take a picture of your face for use as an in-game avatar.
There are three modes available to play in test version – the aptly named “Everybody in a huge fight with the enemy” which was seen in the aforementioned video where players work together to attack gigantic enemies for 120-180 sec.; the “fight with all enemies” mode (I assume this is plain deathmatch) and then team deathmatch. No word on if there will be extra modes by the time this is ready for the streets but so far it’s shaping up to be an interesting game.

I hope the test is a sucess as I’m getting a bit board of just seeing racing car and gun games just coming out when games like brick people, ubeat and dj max only have very limited release.
never played tokye wars but I wouldn’t mind giving this a try out just to see what its like.
