Heavy Weapon Review
Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank, was originally a flash game released in 2005 by PopCap Games. A free version was available to download, with a premium version available for purchase. In 2007, the game was then ported to the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade and boasted some new features upon its release. Almost three years on, PopCap Games and Sony Online Entertainment have now decided to release the game on the PlayStation Network - five years since its original conception, has it stood the test of time?
The premise behind Heavy Weapon is simple. Russia have suddenly decided to invade the United States of America with very little provocation, and the USA have been caught completely by surprise. With all hope lost, the President's advisors suggest surrender as the only realistic course of action, but the President has one last throw of the dice, and calls on Heavy Weapon to level the playing field. That's essentially all the story there is, although there are some very small cutscenes at the half-way mark, and upon completing the game.
