Gameplay

There are four different play modes to choose from: Cup Mode, Single Race Mode, Multi-player Battle Mode, and Multi-player Racing Mode.^[4]

Cup Mode

In Cup Mode the players aim is to win all three "cups" in the World Tank Racing Championship (WRTC).^[5] Each cup has its own four unique tanks for the player to choose from, and one secret tank that is unlocked upon completion of the cup (making a total of 15 playable tanks in the game). There are 8 different tracks, although some of them are reused meaning there are a total of 15 races.^[4]

Upon completion of each cup, "bonuses" are unlocked. These include three tanks, a music player (which let's the player choose any of the songs from the soundtrack to listen to), the ability to re-watch the 'outro' videos for each cup, special game setting (which includes 'overhead view', 'dual control', 'hover tank' and the option to change the sound effects to 'human voices' and 'guitar squeal') and three 'secret' mini arcade games (a one or two player Pong clone with tanks called "Ping"; a one player top-down view maze tank game called "Tank 2001", the name of which might allude to the Arcadia 2001 games console; and a one player Asteroids clone, called "Space Tank", again with a tank).^[4][6]

Single Race Mode

Single Race Mode is similar to the Cup Mode, the difference being the player can play any race they choose to (as long as they have already completed that race within the Cup Mode system), and of course it's just a single race.^[7]

Multi-player Battle Mode and Multi-player Racing Mode

In Battle Mode the player can battle other players in one of eight special battle arenas (some of which are based on the racing arenas, and some of which are unique). How many "cups" you have won in Cup Mode affects the speed of the tanks and the power-ups. Each tank has an energy/health bar, and when this is depleted, the game is over for that player.^[7][8]

The multi-player Racing Mode lets players race against each other on 6 tracks. There is also a Catch-up mode to help less experienced players.^[4]

The main difference between the PC and PlayStation releases is in the Multi-player modes. On the PC edition up to 6 players can take part in a race or battle^[4] over LAN or "direct IP",^[5] whereas on the PlayStation edition it's a maximum of two players using a split screen.^[7]

The game features ten Drum and bass music tracks by artists Ramone and Trigger, Waterloop, Substance, D-Tour, Bay Tremore, Vim! and Dharma.^[9]

Reception

The UK Official PlayStation Magazine gave the PlayStation version 6 out of 10, describing the "novelty racing game" as having a "Casanova charm" with a "fun-filled soul".^[10]

Tank Racer (mobile game)

A mobile phone game with the same title and similar gameplay (although in 2D) was released by GlobalFun and Runestone Games in February 2005.^[11]

In the game you can choose from a range of six tanks including Bumbleboy, Thor and Power Punch. Like Glass Ghost's game, you have a range of tracks and championships to choose from, and some tracks have hidden shortcuts.^[12]
