Gameplay - 9
Armor Attack is one of my favorite games to play because it just really feels good when you're playing it. Specifically, I love the smooth driving action of the jeep. You can tool around the bombed out city with amazing agility. I find it quite fun to do circles and figure 8's around the tanks laughing because they are so slow. When you drive the jeep, it feels as though you truly are on a mission of sorts. You must visualize in your head the bombed out city to really see what I mean. Actually, years of watching the A-Team TV series when I was younger have severely impacted my liking of this game (More on this under SOUND). The only reason this category didn't get a perfect 10 is because I feel that the scenery in the game could have changed more often. A different city every 5 levels would have made this game sweet!

Vector Graphics - 8
The tanks are plenty realistic from their motion to the way they smash up when you blast 'em with a missile or two. The fire and smoke that appears after you hit the tank makes for an even more realistic experience. The jeep looks OK, but I think it could have had more detail. The helicopter is what takes the cake though. This bird chops away through the imaginary smoky air created by all of the tanks previously destroyed, seeking revenge for its comrades. It floats like a butterfly, and sometimes stings like a bee. Not if I can help it though... Chopper Chump, you're going down! As I said before though, the scenery lacked change throughout the game, which brings down this category's score.

Sound - 10
The sound in Armor Attack is what makes the game, period. Without the sounds that have been developed for this game, it just would be as fun to play. I've always said that sound is what makes any game great. Some things can be left to your imagination, but not sound. Sound gets you *into* the game. So anyway, when you start up the game, the A-Team theme song plays...j/k. Seriously though, the opening music is fantastic which brings back memories of the A-Team TV series. When the game starts out, you appear in the center of the screen...waiting...Then the sound of tanks in the distance puts fear into you. Two sounds make the tanks feel distinctively real, an engine noise, and a tank tread squeak. It's so good that I love to shut them down...two missiles from my fully equipped jeep and they're demolished. No one can deny the evil presence of the Choppers when you hear that Chh, Chh, Chh, Chh, Chh... overhead. They swarm overhead like vultures waiting to pounce...what a great sound. One thing I can't figure out though is why the chopper sound is playing when there are no choppers, this can sometimes get annoying. The only thing I wish were present is some noise from the jeep when it cruises around. The missile sound blasting out of the jeep and destroying a tank or a chopper is a great thrill, but some added effect to the jeep tooling around would make for a great enhancement on the whole experience. Nevertheless, this game gets a perfect 10 on the way of sound...it really draws you in.
