The game is set in an isometric 3D environment across an assortment of terrains such as Urban, Jungle and Arctic. The best way to describe the game would be like Desert/Soviet Strike but much more fast paced and in a tank! Before each stage you are giving a briefing screen showing your primary objectives as well as secondary objectives. These are generally standard fare such as destroying communication centers, power stations, rescuing downed pilots and so on. The location of your goals is displayed on your radar and map. There are also plenty of hidden objectives to be found along the way.
