    I wonder why people are wasting time making 3d videocards... I still have games like that on my commodore 64 .... Beuuuuurk.

    Some of us still like to use our brain and this game will allow and make you do it. This is not for the mad clicking helter skelter player but a true armchair general.

    The first game in years I've really been looking forward to. It is at good as I hoped it would be, this game will keep me from the streets for a long time!

    This is a truly complex and challenging simulation of the Eastern Front. You have to study the map carefully as the terrain has a large influence on movement and combat. In the larger scenarios, you have so many units to deal with that the état major in your head stays silent for a minute, pondering how it will deal with the complexity. The user interface is easy to use, and the maps are gorgeous. The main visual problem is that the game is playable only on full screen at a fixed resolution of 1024 x 768. Some UI elements appear blocky and old school. That's where I remove 1 point to the score. One great feature, on the visual side, is the ability to dump the full map to disk as a 2048 x 1616 pixel image! (CTRL-P) This is a wonderful game if you enjoy planning your attacks. Yesterday I spent 2 hours on a single turn. I sent it by email to my opponent and went to sleep proud of a job well done.… Expand

    This has to be the deepest, most sophisticated, most gripping strategy I've ever played! It's a very complicated game (it took me about 20 hours of intense effort to finally learn how to play) because you are given so many pieces of information for every move you make, and there must be hundreds of different icons and symbols to know, but if you tough it out and go through the long tutorial (which is excellent) and read the excellent player's PDF manual, you'll be greatly rewarded. Sure, there's no "action" per se in Korsun Pocket (it's turn-based, and plays like a board game), but the game, once you learn how to play it, will grab you like no other and won't let go. The AI is amazing and will challenge veteran wargamers and novices (I'm a novice). Here is a TRUE strategy game - in my opinion, RTS games are nothing but action games from a top-down perspective. You're not a real strategy gamer until you've played Korsun Pocket!… Expand

    If you have Attention Deficit Disorder don't buy this game. You'll hate it. But if you enjoy strategy and thinking problems through you'll LOVE this game. It's a fantastic game.

    I only wish the size of the units were a little larger so I could see them better. If you don't like to think then don't buy it.

    One of the best turn/hex based wargame I've ever played. I wish they would do a similar game featuring potential modern battles.

    If you're an old board-gamer looking for the computerized answer to the classic hex based games, this is it. The interface does all the tracking for you and let's you spend time on designing a strategy. I got it second hand from one of my neighbors kids who was looking for a shoot em up 3-D game. He may have been disappointed, not me!

    Somehow, Korsun Pocket manages to capture everything that's compelling about historical wargaming and presents it as a tremendous game. [Sept 2003, p.103]

    The whole thing fits together elegantly, quickly becoming intuitive and fluid, which isn't something you can say about many computer wargames... This is traditional wargaming at its best. [Sept 2003, p.81]

    A deep and involving WWII strategy title.
