 - Completely AbsorbedI 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. YES! Rating: - Reminiscent of the old strategy board games.Panzer Tactics is a good strategy game with similar complexity to the old hex board games. While I like that it's more serious than Advance Wars, I do wish it had a little more of the simplicity and the 'human side' of Advance Wars. While Panzer Tactics is about machinery, Advance Wars feels a little more personal. I get a little more attached to 'my men' and a little more sorry when I send them to their deaths. Rating:  - Like having Panzer General in your pocket!This game plays almost like a perfect copy of the Panzer General series and is a MUST HAVE for any fans of said series. Any fan of hex map strategy war games would like this even if they haven't been exposed to Panzer General. I am very happy with this purchase. The units stats are very well done and the game play mechanics are perfect for the DS. I hope they make a sequel. Rating: - Solid wargameIf you ever liked hex wargames, you'll love Panzer Tactics DS. It has all the best elements of turn-based strategy wargames, without the nitty-gritty rules that would get one mired in details. It is very fun, with the added bonus of unit level experience and special attacks. The developers did a great job packing the UI and gameplay experience within the limited controls of the DS. Rating: - Solid WW2 Strategy GameI don't know what the other guy is talking about. If you like turn based strategy games, or WW2 strategy games, or both, you'll like this title. It reminds me alot of Desert Commander, the old Nintendo title basically you just set up your units at the start of each scenario, then move and attack with each. at the end you use points you've accumulated through capturing towns or destroying enemy units to buy new units or repair the old ones. then the enemy gets its turn. rinse, repeat nothing ground-breaking, but its fun to play and really if you want cutting edge games you're not going to play a hand-held anyway. Pick this one up and give it a try, its good for a few hours of fun
