I'm not sure if I've put this in the right place. Apologies if that's the case.
Anyway, I'm trying to remember the name of a game on the original Playstation. It had a bunch of black, gangbanger-type dudes riding around in a tank, listening to hip hop and blowing other tanks and buildings up. There was some kind of 'secret government unit' story thread to it all but I can't remember much more than that.
Can anyone help?
I played it around '96/'97, if that's of any use...?

rpg type?

It wasnt an rpg type, more of a 1st-person shooter, but the player is in a variety of tanks tasked with hunting down other tanks and completing missions.

Panzel Front

Mobile Armor

?

It certainly looks like Paner Front but that wasn't it. Nor Mobile Armor.
It was set in modern times and concentrated on the hiphop/street element a lot.
I've got 5 friends racking their brains on this too and there is a 20 quid bet running as to who can figure it out first. If I win it, it goes to a local animal charity, so please help!!!

Oddly enough, I've just had a phone call from one of my friends who's had an epiphany!
The game was Shellshock.
I've also found some video on YouTube, if you're interested. Great game it was!
