Plot
In 1984, Red Star (Soviet Union) has launched an massive-scaled, global invasion. The Allied forces fight bravely, but they are hopelessly outnumbered by the Red Army. The Allied Nations had no choice but to negotiate an surrender, hopefully ending the war and the genocide. Fortunately, they have one last line of defense. They have decided to send in the Atomic Tank, as you, being the driver of it. Will you be the one to stop the Red Army invasion to send them back from where they came from, but also destroy the source of the invasion.

After completing Mission 9, the city has been destroyed by the Atomic Tank, meaning that the invansion has finally stopped, However, it was just a diversion, meaning that Red Star has a stronger, bigger and advanced army waiting in reserve. Leaving no choice but having the brewskis to wait.

Finally, After the secret weapon has been destroyed, the Dictator of Red Star has been defeated by the Atomic Tank, leaving his base to ruins, and forcing him to surrender, and then the world has finally been saved, Thanks to you!

Gameplay
In Heavy Weapon, you are the driver of the Atomic Tank, an experimental tank that can shoot nuclear bullets that is used to shoot down certain enemies such as bombers, jet fighters, helicopters and war vehicles. The tank can only move left and right, since it's an side-scrolling game.

There are also new mechanics where a white chopper will appear as you progress through, they won't attack the player as they are the your allies, which will help you by giving special power ups that will upgrade your tank by making it rapid fire, spread shots, increase speed, and increase speed.

The game has a total of 19 levels, along with 2 game modes (Mission and Survival). In Mission mode, you must blast through countless enemies, and at the end, defeat a boss. After defeating a boss, you are going to visit the armory, which you can upgrade your tank with various weapons and power-ups. After going through nine bosses, you'll have to go all the way back to the start and destroy the same nine bosses (upgraded versions), until the final boss and you beat the game.

In Survival mode, you'll have to survive through a never-ending waves of enemies, until you have been eliminated. In time, the waves become more crowded with enemies, adding more difficulty to it. There is not much difference between the PC and the Xbox 360 version. In the PC version, you'll play Survival by yourself. In the Xbox 360 version, you can either play by yourself, or join a War Party survival game where up to 4 players can join, except more enemies will appear more often.
