Choro-Q, for the good ol' days after 9/11.
This game rips, it was my first exposure to the Choro-Q series and while not indicative of the rest of the franchise, holds up in its own right. The tank customization isn't as in depth as something like Armored Core, but instead focuses on upgrades being more meaningful impacts to gameplay, and the individual tanks themselves being the toybox that you're supposed to sift through. The game looks and sounds like a budget title, but it's not as egregiously ugly as some of the earlier PS2 library, and the soundtrack feels like someone tried and is fitting for the setting.
The flight and aquatic elements of the game sure do exist. In a way, I'm glad that the game does give you that freedom of movement, but the game has no real vertical level design so it feels like there's just a part that you can equip to enable moon jump. They're mostly used for gimmicky missions, which sometimes get either tedious like the escort mission, or feel like they can be trivialized by properly equipping your tank. Damage is finicky and unbalanced in the sense that hits either do five percent of a target's health, or one shot them (including to your own tank, although slightly less swingy), but it ends up being to the game's benefit as the pacing of missions doesn't slog. The pacing of the game in general, even if you stop to do all the extra side missions and fights, is really good and the entire campaign feels fleshed out without being padded.
Seek and Destroy doesn't escape the boundaries of a budget title, but it's a very easy sit. Effort was put into this game that probably never sold for more than $20. It's a great pallet cleanser after clearing a longer RPG while still having enough meat on its bones to stay engaging.

SEU TANQUE PODE VOAR... Até ele ser abatido pela imensa quantidade de projeteis te atingir... esse jogo é mais difícil do que deveria ser... e eu nem comecei a falar da fase escura
Fun little game. Super customizable tanks. NG+ mode is fun.
Really fun game I played as a child. Tons of customizations for your tanks! Just a game to have mindless tank destroying fun!
A really badly marketed Choro-Q game, the box art makes you think you're gonna be simulating operation desert storm or something.
For those not in the know, choro-Q is sort of japan's version of hotwheels, matchbox or micro machines. And this is one of various games based on it.
The game is extremely light in tone, yes it's about war, and tanks shooting each other, but there's no actual people involved, they're all talking tanks, their turrets even turn to face who they're talking to. The diaglogue reminds me of something like advance wars, enemy generals go 'bummer!' when they lose a battle.
The game looks pretty basic by the standards of the PS2, looks sub-dreamcast-levels at times, but the charm overpowers it, and the gameplay is actually pretty fun. You get to unlock something like 100 different tanks, and customise them, it's a sort of toy-tank-RPG. I do reccomend, as it's very cheap to buy.

Very fun played when I was a kid
