GAME SUMMARY

Panzerkrieg - Burning Horizon 2

Rating: 4.2 (21 votes cast)

Made by the creators of "Blitzkrieg - Burning Horizon" and "Blitzkrieg - Rolling Thunder".
“Panzerkrieg” is a unique real-time strategy game that places you in command of German, Soviet and Allied armies. It combines unparalleled game depth and ease of use with historical accuracy.
Three story-driven single-player campaigns will let you experience the intensity of World War Two battles to a tactical depth never seen before. Engage the enemy across Europe, from Poland and France to the Eastern front of Sevastopol, Stalingrad and the Korsun pocket!

  • Authentic Weapons! 38 service branches and more than 350 animated 3D units are in your hands. Command the double-turreted Panzer Draisine train wagon, T-34 Flakpanzer, T-28 heavy tank, Hotchkiss H-39, Marder I, Sturmgeschutz IV with AA-MG and the Soviet 30.5cm twin-gun coastal battery amongst many others.
  • Authentic Battlefields! Over 35 battlefields based on authentic WWII locations in Northern France, Poland, Crimea, Russia, North Africa and Singapore
  • Authentic Commanders! Take command of your forces as an infamous commander such as Field Marshall von Manstein or Marshal Zhukov.
  • Three Classes of Core Units! Enhanced Vehicle Tactics! A whole new series of core units: heavy anti-mine clearing vehicles steam-roller their way through mine fields, flamethrowers burn pillboxes to the ground, self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery secures your advancing tanks against ground attack planes
  • Deadly Struggle! Engage intelligent enemies that will develop its own tactics, launch airborne assaults, covert commando operations, mine clearing, spearhead attacks, and battles of encirclement and annihilation.
  • Completely Destructible Environment: Use buildings and terrain to your advantage. Church spires provide increased views, pontoon bridges and fords open up new ways of advance, air raid shelters defend infantry against death from the skies, secure hide-outs are the bases for commando raids, and enormous fortresses have to be besieged.
  • The Sound of the war! A renowned team of composers who previously worked for famous games and Hollywood movies have contributed the great orchestral sound of “Panzerkrieg”
  • Multiplayer combat: test your skills head-to-head with up to 16 other players via LAN and Internet.

Panzerkrieg - Burning Horizon 2 review

By ross57412 posted 14th May 2010

great game like some of the othewr reviews said i was worried as i have not played the orignal before

it is easy to learn and the controls carry over to unit

fun and exciting and can take hours to finish some of the longer bigger levels / scenes

Yet I don't know exactly where to find the strategy element in this game.

You choose between 2 campaigns (German or Russian) and then you jump from mission to mission. Enemy units are each level a tad stronger than those available to you and generally the leash is quiet tight.

You have time 2 minutes to do this or you have time 4 minutes to do that. You are playing missions again and again until you found the winning path - I repeat, THE winning path. For too many missions don t really leave you a big choice.

However, details and animations and maps are truely nice and done with dedication.

I know it, I bought it and I didn t get what I had hoped for (NO time limits and/or triggers).

I have a lot of fun with Panzerkrieg. It is very replayble, and decently historicly acurate.

I am still learning how to play, yet, have to say the game is good.

What a battle. I mean a real battle. This is not "moving troops from left to right". It is really a strategy game.

The graphics are clearly outdated. But as longer I play it as stronger I have the feeling why this wonderful

Blitzkrieg1 graphics was replaced by this mid range 3d graphic of Blitzkrieg2 ?

There are a lot of very different mission objectives - so you really have to be aible to understand English.

The game is great but I really hope that I will play it one day in French.

Panzerkrieg - Burning Horizon 2 review

I really took a chance on buying this game since I hadn't read any of the reviews on it yet. If you have played the orignal Blitzkrieg you will love this game. Panzerkrieg missions are awesome and complex.

The controls are easy to learn, and most carry from one unit to the next.

Panzerkrieg is a very fun game but it is not a game for you if you don't like strategy games.

The realism of the units is amazing and the articifical intelligence is pretty good. There are lots of things to smash so even my armoured train is gaining elite status.
