These R/C tanks have a sting in their tail, thanks to the electrifying addition of electric shock sensors on the controls.

The idea of the game is to destroy your opponents' tank without him managing to hit yours. Should you receive a hit, you'll get a nasty electrical surprise that's not for the faint of heart. And we genuinely do mean that.

Shocking tanks has two difficulty levels: low and high. Set your tank too low and you'll receive a less than life-threatening shock when your tank receives a hit but each hit you inflict will only reduce your opponents lives by one.

Set your tank to high difficulty, however, and you'll get a proper kick-in-the-pants electric shock whenever you're hit but each hit you score removes no less than two of your opponents lives.

Do you risk a nasty shock to eliminate your opponent more quickly, or play it safe and hope you manage to score hits more quickly. Nail-biting stuff.
