Drive one of three different tanks, including light, medium, and heavy, in ThinkTanks for Mac.
The game offers richly detailed and vibrant worlds that present various challenges on different planets. The rolling hills and lush valleys are ideal for long-range sniping and dogfighting. The dark and spooky missions are harder to navigate, and you must keep your wits about you to avoid getting ambushed by lurking enemies. The lava fields make for great highflying mayhem and aerial assaults. With each mission, you will face a unique challenge, and developing your fighting skills will provide hours of fun.
The Bots in the game are some of the wackiest and most exciting hunks of metal that you can imagine. The hum-bot and his sidekick inspire fear in all, while other bots including Gul-Bot and Tom-Bot, the Bot Twins, and the berserk Mal-Bot, provide challenging battles to test your mettle. The game also comes with custom game creation and Bot configuration options that enable you to create custom battle scenarios.
The Auto Drop Feature allows you to configure online games and populate them with bots that drop out when humans join in. Additionally, the game features password-protected servers that allow you to keep out anyone but those you give the password to, making it an excellent option for private games. A Child-Safe Filter is available to turn off player and server names and in-game chat messages to keep children safe from verbal abuse.
The newest version of the game comes with several improvements, including adjusted tanks to make the heavy one more useful, easier aiming, and the addition of an option to cycle between all maps from a dedicated server. The range and transparency of the radar have also been improved, and health powerups now show up on the radar when health is low. Additionally, players can reload ammo bursts by lifting their fingers off the mouse for an extended period, and a pause key has been added to solo and quickplay play (ESC Key).
In terms of system requirements, the game requires a Macintosh OS X (version 10.1 or greater), 64 MB RAM, and an OpenGL Compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator (16MB recommended). With its richly detailed worlds, exciting bots, and custom mission designs, ThinkTanks is an excellent software game that provides hours of fun and challenges.
