PANZERFRONT (Anyone Here Remember This One?)

[trek]

I was doing some console gaming with my Grandson the other night on my PS3 and came across my old copy of PANZERFRONT published in 2001 in the PSOne format. I originally played it on the PS2 and since I own the original 60GB PS3 I fired it up.

Its' amazing how great that little game was for it's time. Even now, I think it is a great tank game. Good sound effects, a top-down tactical view, great authentic modeling of the armor and the ability to control and waypoint other tanks in your unit. Missions for Russia, Germany and the USA.

It also has historical missions like "Barkman's Corner" and Villiers-Bocage. Pretty authentic gunsights too. Winter scenarios and infantry on the move is also in the game.

And last but not least skirmish mod with several prototype tanks to select from. I ended up playing PF for about six hours, it sure brought back good memories, with the exception of the difficulty aspect which is not easy in the game. When you won a mission in PF, you really earned it.
