I dont actually own the game, but i played it at friends house. The campaigns not really that great, but the rest is. This is my favorite multiplayer game except for Age of EMpires II on PC. It has awesome 3d levels, several tanks, and differnt ways to play, its sort of like Battle Tanx for 64 but better.

This is a great game. Graphics are pretty good..with LOTS of explosions. Frame rate starts at 60fps, then drops to like 50 with one or two tanks on screen, with 3-4 to 40..and so on. But it seems that the game never drops below 30 frames a second regardless of what's on the screen. If you like twisted metal type games, like me, this game is great..while you wait for twisted metal black....................

WDL is a alright game with fair graphics. I keep hoping that one of these days I will be able to turn my ps2 on and say now that is some great graphics. I know that graphics are not everything but when your dealing with the legendary ps2 they just have to be there. Gameplay is ok. But I got tired of it after about an hour. Twisted metal 2 it is not. Tanks look nice and the explosions are cool also but the textures look like the first playstation. I think company`s are rushing these games out.

I have given WDL Thunder Tanks an adequate amount of gameplay, but I have not been overly impressed with it.

The missions vary from level to level, and there are plenty of cool tanks to choose from. Some of the tanks, such as the one with the flamethrower needs to be seen. The heat effect was pretty impressive. Aside from this I didn't think the graphics were all that mindblowing.

In addition, the gameplay is what falters on WDL. After playing through several levels, the gameplay becomes pretty repetitive, and some of the missions get to be a little confusing.

Bottomline, if you like mindless games where you can blow stuff up, you may enjoy this. To me, the repetitive gameplay only made this game worthy of a rental and nothing more.

Not Recommended!

it's a ok game, but get Battle Tanx or Battle Tanx:Global Assault instead. They have a better plot and were kinda the preddessors to this game(which the batlle tanx series is also made by 3DO).

I like this game alot, gives a good deal of difficulty, some fun, and has multiplayer.

the game is alright. multiplayer mode is the best part. it is an extremely "in-expensive" game so it is worth your money.

World destruction league is a pretty cool game but towards the end gets you feeling like you already did it. In the mission mode you get to choose your tank and start blasting away. Whitch is fairly simple but gets harder. The multiplayer is the best thing though. The different settings are capture the flag, death match, and domination where you get to capture emmiters and use the drones against your enemy. The controls are fairly simple to get use to, and the graphics aren't the greatest but o.k. All in all this game is fun in multiplayer but repetative in the mission mode.Although I would suggest buying World Destruction League Thunder Tanks.

Rented it. Hated it. My six year old boy had fun though. No way this should be rated as high as SSX.

Normally I'm all for explosive combat situations. I bought this game thinking to myself it would be an excellent addition to the PS2 (I was expecting Vigilante 8, just with tanks). Excitement? It's got to be hiding in there somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet. The graphics are ok, but nothing mind-numbing. The gameplay is anything but fast-paced. The areas are dull, the control is obnoxious. The only reason it earned two stars is that it *is* sorta fun in multiplayer mode (if you don't mind the flat-terrain and the dull weapons). Rent it, or better yet, just play V8 on the N64 and forget this even exists.
