You can play the game from 3 pespectives; Soviet, American and german with a plot line for each. The graphics are good, the game paces exciting and the mechanics are good. The details are excellent. A very good game if you like WW2.
The bad part is no scenerio generator ( a basic) which makes playability limmited. There is a skermish mode and a practice mode which add some to the game.
Over all a good , entertaining game. Worth the price.
Excellent WWII RTS game

While it's no Company of Heroes (my current favorite WWII RTS game), it is quite good and very enjoyable. Graphics are good, though not up to COH standards. The missions were pretty hard (especially towards the end), but not impossible.

This is a fantastic Strategy game. Much better than Moscow to Berlin and
Rush to Berlin. Great graphics.

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

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

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.
