Not much thought is really required and it doesn't matter. With unlimited ammo the only thing stopping the destruction is the reloading time. Tanks and planes can be blown up and nearly every building can be turned into rubble. The best part about Seek and Destroy is how all he missions are simply about going in and messing everything up. They can also get a chainsaw attached to the front for some up-close combat. That's right, these tanks can fly around. The last one is reserved for special power-ups such as kicking in a hover or flight ability. The right analog stick controls the turret and a total of three weapons can be mapped to the face buttons. The left analog stick controls movement in a tank-relative way so that pushing up drives the tank forward no matter which way it's turned. Intentionally or not, the graphics serve to focus all the attention of the game itself and it manages to hold its own surprisingly well. There may be 100 tanks in the game, but the visual variety is barely visible. The rest of the game fares just as well with low-resolution textures and minimal special effects. Only this time the paper versions would be better since they could get regular cylinders for the tank barrels.
The artists devote an astounding few dozen of polygons per tank for a look that makes you think they'd modeled the tanks with folded bits of paper and modeled them from there. The first thing anyone would notice about Seek and Destroy is the graphics: they're terrible for a PS2 title. If you have a few bucks in your pocket and want something that's short and sweet, check this out and enjoy this fine little war. This is bare bones tank combat with loads of cartoonish attributes that clearly show that the developers had a good time making this. This is not a fancy game in the least and by all rights it could easily have been a PSone game, but after digging into it, that doesn't really matter. Seek and Destroy is one of those budget titles you hope to find: a title that's fun and easy to get into and far cheaper than the alternatives.
