Go  down the arcades and you'll see that everything seems to be based on
something  else.  Tokyo Wars is no exception to the rule, being based on
Tanks, Battlezone, Tron, call it what you will.

The  easiers way to describe it is "Virtua Cop in a Tank", but there's a
slight  strategy  element  to it, you play as part of a team and have to
destroy the other team, simple yes, dull no.

The  battle  can take place in one of two areanas, the Bayside (straight
out  of  VCop!) or Downtown areas.  Both locations are superbly drawn in
the  usual  Sega  style  -  not  the  gritty  realism of Quake, more the
well-drawn cartoon style of every other Sega game.  The tanks look great
and  the atmosphere is brilliant.  Both locations contain lots of things
to  run  over,  like containers, police cars and telephone booths, great
fun all round!

The radar shows enemy units ahead of you, at the same time a voice cries
"Enemy  Tank  to the Rear", what do you do?  Easy!  Just swing round the
next  corner, barge right at the next but immediately pull back and left
so  that you're reversing back up the opposite way, the enemy tank comes
round  the  corner  expecting  to  see  you  haring up the Quayside, and
instead gets two shells right up the snout, blam blam!

Tokyo  wars  is  great fun, the machines are linked together, minimum of
two  players,  and you can play as a team or as opponents, the fun never
ends!   After  the  game  there  are  two  rankings,  one for which team
actually win and the other shows which player destroyed the most tanks.

This  game  is just crying out to be made into a network game on the PC,
or even a link-up game on the Saturn, it's exhillerating, refreshing and
damned good fun, play it!
