Description official description

In 1944 the United Forces are preparing their final assault on the Normandy coast. The mission is to break through the front lines and destroy enemy headquarters. To spearhead the invasion, they have chosen Paul from Command Unit 88, also known as Iron Snake. To succeed in his mission, Paul will need all the firepower of the mightiest fighting vehicle, the Iron Tank. Iron Tank is played from an overhead view with a scrolling screen. You need to control the Iron Tank and its varied weapons and power-ups to rescue hostages and defeat enemy forces.

Facinated with WWII? This game is worth a try

The Good
The action this game takes you through as you land on the beach, all the way through victory in Berlin. Your progress will be displayed on a map as you fight through various towns, forests and other settings. Boss enemies are unique and challenging. The best part is that there is more than one way to get to Berlin so you can decide your own fate to a certain degree.

The Bad
There were almost too many enemies at times and it is somewhat difficult to finish the game unless you play it enough.

The Bottom Line
I wouldn't call this a completely historically accurate rendition of D-day or V-E Day, but the setting is very well done. I recommend it to anyone who is intersted in world war II
