I got to messing around on wii play tanks (for nostalgia reasons) and thought i might take the time to code a clone. its a simple enough game. However, i've never come across a birds eye game with cars or tanks or the like that actually feels fun to control. I find movement to be the most important mechanic for any game when starting a project, and was wondering if its possible to make it feel smooth and intuitive?

If you can think of any example games that do it well, please bring those up as well.

I feel the need to mention i don't need help with actually coding it, more looking for a discussion on the topic.
