88It's just a great tactical exercise for strategy gamers of any rank.
-
87This game just might revitalize the genre.
-
80A perfect game for those who are new to turn-based gaming but veterans might feel that it's still no different than last week's date.
-
80Basically, though, this is the same game as the original -- the differences being more units, a better play balance, new campaigns, a new leader-based combat system, and obviously updated graphics.
-
79If you're a fan of turn-based games or the Second World War (and who doesn't like the war?) then PGIII is definitely worth your attention.
-
75Nice game play, rich historical perspective and solid animation.
-
74I found the "pixel hunting" very frustrating. Many times, in order to select a unit for action, I had to position the cursor in EXACTLY the right position.
-
70The welcome return of a massively branching campaign structure, along with dozens of battles to fight, units to deploy, and officers to lead them gives an almost unlimited amount of replay value for the lone wargamer.
-
70If you are a World War II buff or a strategy enthusiast, by all means take PGIII for a cruise, but if you want variety and visual stimulation from a game, search elsewhere.
-
Although no scenarios have the sweep of the Norway scenario of the original and the great OKW lackey voice-over is sorely missed, Scorched Earth is a great learning tool for beginning war gamers and is fun for veteran gamers.

65This series is suffering from terminal welschmertz. Time to put this warhorse out to pasture. [Dec 2000, p.167]
-
Aquality game, though it does suffer from a "been there, done that" feeling.
-
60I found this game extremely easy to turn off.
-
It just hardly seems like a worthy sequel to the series, and sadly, almost feels like a shell of what could have been a truly inspired game.
-
Although it has a strong interface and interesting gameplay, its lack of innovation coupled with unimpressive visual and aural presentations make it an average war game.
-
58PG3SE will offer absolutely no surprises to those who have played previous games in the series.
-
50The novice faces a hefty learning curve, even with the well-written tutorial in the manual, and many will give up within the first few hours.
