Customer Reviews of Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Thinking, not action game I agree with a previous reviewer that this game isn't a "shoot'em up game". He is also correct that this game has a lot of parallels to board/miniature games in that the emphasis is plotting your actions, and planning your attack. The game does take advantage of the computer to allow hidden units/movement and simultaneous execution of movement. <

>The graphics don't match the latest first person shooters, but they are very good. The emphasis in this game is on realism- tank detail is exquisite, with different tanks producing different engine noises. Squads react to not only enemy fire, but the presence of officer units. <
> <
>The controls are awkward at first, but it didn't take me long to get used to moving entire platoons together. Usually, after my initial set-up and opening moves, I have to only make minor adjustments to unit placement and things move very quickly. <

>If you want continuous action, look elsewhere-if you want a more thoughtful study of the WWII tactical environment, this game is for you.
Game for my 70 year old Dad
I guess I just like the plug and play shoot them up games. This was just a giant sim game with garphics like Pong. If you liked the old board war games back in the 70's (my Dad played them) then you will love this. If you want to shoot something, you will have to look somewhere else. By the way, I'm a 22 year Veteran as a Combat Engineer. Went to Panama, Kuwait and Bosnia. I had more fun there than I did with this game.
The controls killed me
Seeing all the 5 star reviews here I decided this would be my next Xmas present. Some hours ago, tough, completely bored, I decided to download the demo to see how good it would be. Boy I was wrong. This is a simply terrible wargame. The graphics are ok and you can zoon right to each soldier's face (Like in the Sims 2) but the way you control your troops just killed me.

>Remember the 'planning' stage in Rainbow Six, before each mission, where you would assign starting places to squads, waypoints where to go and etc?

<
>Well, you control your troops like that in this game. Yep, instead of, say, selecting a tank with the left mouse button, and selecting it's target with a right click (Like you do in every normal RTS game) you must first bring up a menu for every individual unit, select the mission you want, assign them waypoints, and then the target.

>I strongly suggest you to download the demo from [...] and see if you like this kind of controls, that in my opinion are extremely uncomfortable, before buying it.
