World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks is the type of game that comes along in surplus at the very beginning or the very end of a console's life. Had this title come out in 1995, it would have done well with the Twisted Metal/Destruction Derby set. But now that we're at the end of the PlayStation's time, WDL just comes off as standard "been there, done that" fare. And while style isn't everything, the rest of what World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks has to offer quite simply isn't worth taking. The spiritual sequel to 3DO's BattleTanx, WDL uses the same tired premise used in almost every vehicular combat game. Set in the post-apocalyptic future, the most popular televised sport is the World Destruction League, where insane tank warriors battle each other in different arenas across the globe - not a fresh concept in the least.
