Codename Panzers is brought to you by the same people that made the rock solid Blitzkrieg. Funny thing is I thought they may have made the game stale by staying in the same genre, I couldnt have been more wrong. Panzers is just balls out fun and one of the better RTS games Ive had the pleasure to own in the last year. Tactics rule the battlefield as it should be, you will feel the tension of urban environments as ambushes can and will pop up at anytime. Attempt to rush at your own peril especially if the enemy holds a key chokepoint. AI is excellent and the graphics are awesome combined with engrossing gameplay Panzers is well worth the purchase.

Close to perfect

This game rocks, it was the only kicken WWII RST until Comapany of Heroes came out.

Good solid RTS gameplay

Panzers, contrary to some opinions here, is not a bad game. It's definitely one of the better, more detailed, WWII RTS. I've played all the demos so far, and even got some time with a friend's German copy.

It's got some solid gameplay. I couldn't find any bugs, and the units are nicely balanced. And unlike most other RTS of late, there are no pathing issues! It's nice to issue a movement command and watch the infantry and tanks actually follow a sensible route from point A to point B. The lack of good pathing drove me crazy in Heroes of WWII.

Graphically, it's pretty tasty. Even zoommed in tight, unit markings are clear and true-to-life.

I'd say go for this over Heroes of WWII. It won't tax your PC nearly as much, yet it looks just as good. And the gameplay is more fun, a lot less micromanagement.

Just awesome

In the last little while, the RTS genre has become fairly stale, flooded with Starcraft wannabes. Companies who want to make a fast buck by copying pervious games.

Then in walks Panzers, a game with an awesome single player feature. I have not played such a good single player game for a while. Like one of the guys who also reviewed the game, I too agree that it is the single player part of the game is where the developers have really focus on. It's very polished and strategic; gets the brain jucies flowing as you plan your lines of attack.

Lets face it, anyone who is an RTS fan/gamer know that is the single player that sells millions of copies of a game and that's why developers focus hard on creating the single player part of the game. That's not to say that CDV did not spend time on creating a stable multiplayer game.

Multiplayer in Panzers rocks! LoL The other night I played a multiplayer game with my man and squished him like a bug. :) I saw the look on his face after the game was done and he wasn't too happy. Who says women can't play games? :)

One thing that is holding me back from giving this game a 5/5 is that there is no ratings system. When I play RTS games, I play hard and I want to know how I rank with other players. So if they implement a rating/ladder system this game would be complete. :)

Cheers to CDV for an awesome game!

Very Fun

Codename: Panzers Phase One is the best RTS game I have played, it's superb graphics and fun gameplay makes this an instant classic. The innovation of the RPG elements puts Panzers in a category all by it's self. Stormregion did a wonderful job and I can't wait until the next installment of this series. I recommend this game to all RTS fans and anyone who may be interested in the genre.

Not your ordinary RTS game

Being a big fan of the C&C series and WWII games I had to try this game. First thing I noticed was just how great the graphics looked and how good it sounded. Gameplay is not the king where you can just jump in and dominate. It took me a while to get used to having instead of a constant resource coming in to build your army but you are set with a certain amount so strategy alreadys is a big thing needed to win the game over your opponent. This game is a must get if you enjoy commanding an WWII army with big strategy needed and the freedom to dominate your opponent in anyway. The best about this game in my opinion is coop mode.

To less for todays standard in RTS

Hello,

i played at least the AO'Games, WC3 and Comand & Conquer Generals + ZH and must really say that the SinglePlayer Modus is "ok" in relation to this other RTS games but also a fact is, when you like to play Multiplayer (i think most of us would do that) with this game i couldn't suggest this game. Until there wouldn't be several patches for the multiplayer modus (so sty tunend). The main problem is that everybody could change the prices for his vehicles and soldiers =/. With this problem I only could warn you to buy it and i will rever to other games (ground control 2 for e.g.).

Moving mouse in demo is no fun

I've played 2 demos of this great-looking game, and in both, movement with the mouse was nigh-impossible. It seems to be a second behind where you move it, therefore when you move your mouse to a specific location, it goes wildly past where you wanted it to go. Looking at the map and issuing orders sucks because it is so hard to steady your moves/targeting.

I have a very adequate computer, so I am vexed as to why this is happening. I really want to enjoy this game! Awesome graphics, great voice-overs, cool units, seems historically accurate, no resource management....just pure battle tactics and blood and explosions! Very cool!

Has anybody else experienced this mouse movement problem with the demos? If so, please email me and tell me what the problem is. I really hope I can play this game and fully enjoy it. If the full game has this same problem, it will be thouroughly unenjoyable and completely unplayable for me.

I was hoping for better

Had graphic card issues right off the bat. And by the looks of the forums, I wasnt the only one. Luckily I was able to fix mine, and pass the solution on.

Im not happy with the game, not what I was expecting for a 3 disc install. Could be easier gameplay. Possibly FPS feature.

Great 3D-engine. Point of view easily switchable in any direction, any time. Surprising again and again. Great realism!
Instant action!
