A really badly marketed Choro-Q game, the box art makes you think you're gonna be simulating operation desert storm or something.

For those not in the know, choro-Q is sort of japan's version of hotwheels, matchbox or micro machines. And this is one of various games based on it.

The game is extremely light in tone, yes it's about war, and tanks shooting each other, but there's no actual people involved, they're all talking tanks, their turrets even turn to face who they're talking to. The diaglogue reminds me of something like advance wars, enemy generals go 'bummer!' when they lose a battle.

The game looks pretty basic by the standards of the PS2, looks sub-dreamcast-levels at times, but the charm overpowers it, and the gameplay is actually pretty fun. You get to unlock something like 100 different tanks, and customise them, it's a sort of toy-tank-RPG. I do reccomend, as it's very cheap to buy.
