Slow-paced, complicated, and HORRIBLE multiplayer.

User Rating: 5 | Panzer Tactics DS DS
Panzer Tactics DS, another World War II game. I'm pretty sure that setting and genre's been worn down to a dangerously thin pulp now, a few more half-decent games like this one will totally kill the genre.

The game itself isn't necessarily bad, but it's just not that fun either. Commanding your armies, crushing your opponents and conquering their cities isn't as much fun with Panzer Tactics. Don't get me wrong, I love Turn-based Strategy games, with Age of Empires DS being the absolute pinnacle of TBS games.

While Panzer Tactics does deliver a plethora of units and gameplay strategies, it's overly complicated and a tad too slow-paced for even me to follow it's campaign right to the end. After running through the German's campaign down, I decided I had enough of singleplayer and decided to head online. Ergh, I've never experienced how badly executed the Online multiplayer is. It takes about 10 years to find someone to go up against, and even then sometimes the gameplay gets so slow you fall asleep in your chair.

I quickly found myself putting this game onto my storage shelf, pulling out Age of Empires instead. Get that game instead of this. Seriously.
