Rating: - Warning Addictive!
This game is great! The scenarios are absorbing and realistic, and the historical accuracy that this game has is also nice. Some of the units can be hard to tell apart, but that problem goes away over time as you get used to the game. I have played the Advance Wars games and this game is a little more realistice (with hexagon squares, planes being able to fly over land units and your units getting hurt even if you destroy the unit you are attacking)and also takes longer to play. Since I have already beatean the scenarios on my Advance Wars games more times than I can count the longer play is nice. The main problem I have with this game is that I pick it up only intending to play for a few minutes and next thing I know it is hours later. So this is a great game but don't buy it unless you have time to kill, becuase it is extremely addictive.
Rating: - Panzer General II cloned (and that's a good thing)
Like another reviewer said, this is like a copy of the Panzer General series, specifically Panzer General II, and if you loved that game, you'll love this one. It's also tempting to compare this to Advance Wars DS, although it's not quite as easy to pick up and play it as the Advance Wars series. This is partly because the DS is not a great platform for this game. The game is a bit too detailed for such a small screen, and it can be a little difficult to make out what unit is what, especially if you are using the less-bright older DS instead of the DS Lite. That's the only real drawback and why I didn't give it a 5 star rating.
It's also wonderful to be able to play someone besides the Americans in a WWII game for a change. Sometimes people like to play Germans or Soviets instead! Hope they make a Pacific War sequel so I can play the Japanese...
Rating: - Great handheld turn-based strategy game
I like this game alot. It offers a more realistic wargaming experience than Advance Wars but without sacrificing the fun. I just finished Advance Wars 2 the day I took Panzer Tactics of the box and I am having just as much fun, different yes, but equally fun.
I like the depth of variety in units and maps as well as the challenging AI which makes for a satisfying victory. Of couse this game isn't flawless, but much of what I don't like about the game is the fact that the DS screens are not large enough to show all of the details and information a game like this could use. However, the developers have done a great job of fitting this kind of game on the DS and retaining most of what makes them so addicting.
Rating: - Great strategy game!
This game rocks! If you liked panzer general 2 you will love this game. The graphics are ok but the strategy is what makes this game so much fun. I have a hard time putting it down. Using the touch screen is a little touchy but you get use to it. You can save the game at any time and if you fail a mission you can start back up at your save point. I have been playing this for a week now and I'm still on the easy missions so this game isn't going to end anytime soon.
Rating: - Completely Absorbed
I posted about this game on a video game site this morning. I got this game for Xmas, and I thought it was just a junk throwaway. I assumed it was on sale or something. Anyway, I clicked on it on amazon to see what it costs.
Lo and behold it's a brand new title. Seriously, I've missed my BART stop three times in a row playing this game. It's totally absorbing. I will probably end up playing it at my desk once my boss leaves. I'll just prop a book on my lap, a couple on the desk and then make it look like I'm using my blackberry.
