Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: As an avid fan of PG2 and still love to play the game, even with the advent of x-box and the other console games. I was hoping that this game would live up to my much beloved PG2.
I was sadly mistaken, this game SUCKS! I even upgraded my video card to handle it and what a waste. I played it once and yeah the graphics are cool, but the game is slow and has nothing of the depth and features of PG2.
Im staying with PG2 and thinking of selling my game to some sucker on EBAY.

Summary: Great Game!
Review: Being a fan of the Panzer General series of games, I really enjoyed this latest enstallment. It builds on the existing game system greatly with new features with a new way of aquiring your army and promotions. The Video and unit artwork is a lot better. The new leader specials, awards and promotion system is great. It really gave you a better feeling of what it was like to use the many unique weapons systems of the day, all the way from a Panzer II to the King Tiger, and all other systems as well. It handles, finally, the dreaded German 88 in such a way that you really realize it's terror. The game also has a battle generator so you can make your own battles as well as online gaming. The game did occationally drop me to system, but these errors only occured seldom. Save games were good and I had no problems there. Video and animations of the units was very good with no problems. To me this is by far the best war game I have played, and I have played them all since the early 1980's. It has great replayablity as well. So far I have played about 10 campaigns. Just to do one took about 30 hours. I could have done it quicker but it was too great to rush through. And unlike the old Panzer Generals, there seem to be much larger campaigns and more scenarios.

Summary: Looks a lot like 3D Assault
Review: I don't own this game, but just from looking at the screenshots I can tell that it looks exactly like Panzer General 3D Assault, which I do own.

Summary: Achtung panzers! Forward to battle.
Review: I have been playing this game for about 5 years now and still do enjoy it. It gives a realistic feeling to the battles on the eastern front from a strategic point of view.
The only problems I had was the Rostov scenario was not operational. In the scenario builder versions, the Russians seem to run out of steam as to quality fighting units as they are destroyed by the Germans. This was not the case in real life. The T-34's just kept on coming. I also wish that the player had more control over what weaponsry he could choose from in the scenario builder much like in PGII. This is a dated review. I would hope that SSI would update and make a new game.

Summary: Scorched Earth PG III Rocks
Review: I've played the other PGs before but this one is really outstanding. The 3D really has made the genre visually beautiful and more tactically relevant. Also, with the new format of taking different missions throughout the campaigns, no two campaigns are alike. Its fun to actually have a war game (I've played many) that tries to follow the historical battles/engagements of the Eastern front. One of the best touches is seeing how the experience of the Russians initially starts off poor and increases likewise with equipment. The only thing I miss from the original PG is having German or Russian audios of orders being given for various operations. This game engages one both on the levels of being fun and intellectually challenging. This is an outstanding game.

Summary: Great New Panzer General Title!!!
Review: If you enjoyed earlier titles in this series BUY IT! If you've never played a PG title before, but have an interest in WWII or strategy games--give this title a try. Ownership of earlier titles is unecessary to play or enjoy the game. It provides a simulation of WWII tactical warfare on the eastern front. The game places you as the commander of German or Russian armies: You select your commanders, equipment and the strategy. The game is highly addictive and the graphics & sound effects draw you into the game. You will tremble when a royal tiger rumbles over the hill in front of you(complete with the squeal of late-war German armor)!PGII was a quantum leap forward in graphics/sound, user interface, and gameplay mechanics over the original PG. PGIII is an equally large improvement over PGII. It provides great graphics/sound and most of all brings greater balance & refinement to the game. Being a fan of earlier versions, I was initially disappointed at the apparent elimination of the Prestige Point system. However, after learning to play the game I realized that the prestige points are still there, they just are no longer used a bank account as in earlier versions of PG. Your leaders, available promotions, available equipment and roster slots are all based upon your prestige and success on the battlefield. Although you will amass slightly smaller armies, this is actually an improvement: It allows you to concentrate on your individual units more and makes them more important. Mulitple moves,attacks and special abilities based on leader experience levels balance the reduced numbers and are part of the evolution of PG to a more sophisticated and balanced game. In earlier versions of PG your armies snowballed from early successes enabling your armies to roll over your opponents with minimal effort. PGIII is more balanced and makes you sweat until the final objective of your campaign is completed. You also never run out of enemies: In PGII I frequently eliminated all opposing forces from the battlefield; in PGIII the enemy keeps coming at you until you complete your objective (which varies depending on the scenario). In a word: AWESOME! I can't wait for Pacific General III & PG IV!

Summary: Only Eastern Front
Review: Not like the first and second version of this series, PG 3 only guves you the estern front. So no Normandy, no Battle of Bulge. This makes the whole game a little bit short than it should be and reduce the possible fun this game should be. On the other hand, the experience and command system is very good idea to reflect not just the machine, but the man who commend the unit to make the record good or bad. Good for casual WW2 war game players. I believe most of the players are focus on the real-time games right now.

Summary: Great Strategy Game
Review: Panzer General III displays a battlefield that will put you in the mood to form serious strategies. The game is not overly complicated but you soon learn that what seems to be the most straightforward plan of attack will not always work! It gets you to think. Decent sound effects, good unit movement, nice display.
