Tanner was of a piece with all this, just an average fodder character on par with someone like JC Denton. He was the star of Driv3r, which had just been released that summer, so it was assumed while Snake would still get in the mid 80s on him, Tanners recent release would prevent him from being *completely* bottom of the barrel. There was no real fanbase for Tanner that appeared on the board, but, well, that was probably just because his game was casual bait. I mean, he did get enough noms to make it in, right? How bad could he possibly be?

I maintain that this would have probably been true about Tanner, except he drew Snake. Anyone else, Tanner probably draws just enough to just be as weak as the likes of Serious Sam and Mr. Driller. But Snake was also capable of adding that extra touch of SFF on top of the deal, as both the Driver and MGS series were both action-adventure series that made their names in the PS1 era.
