Armored Fist

The Good
Armored Fist offers pretty much what you're looking for in a tank game: a good blend of realism with some fast-paced arcade-style action. With a great variety of combat environments, you can find pretty much any place you might think of to do armored combat, including the desert, a frozen tundra and more. Some missions allow you to command multiple platoons, while some pit you against LOTS of enemies with your one lil' ole tank. The mission editor is a blast to use....stirring up your creative juices! A good game, with only a few minor flaws.

The Bad
The target lock can be extremely frustrating: there you sit, being pelted by a BMP that's 40 meters away, while your target-lock system is just IN LOVE with a satellite dish that's 700 meters away. WHAT THE HECK????? I suppose the designers did this to make the game more challenging......maybe, I'm not sure. Also, I think even for it's time, there should've been an in-game volume control for sound/music, but there're only a couple of buttons, that don't do much to adjust the volume or quality.

The Bottom Line
A frantic, fast-paced armored combat sim, that's fun to play.
