Realism and Powerful gameplay

User Rating: 10 | Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin PC
By hsedai | Review Date:
Where the original Combat Mission game offered gameplay in a language many of us could understand, CMBB has taught us the meaning of realism in a game.

CMBB is difficult from the beginning on and I found myself having to actually slow down and think of real life strategies to win scenarios. The same map making and scenario making mechanics are still in the game but now with many more buildings and terrain offerings.

I confess to not being conversant in Russian but I felt for them as the Germans in the game harrassed me. The Quick Battles are very fun and challenging. They can be adjusted for force strength and quality as you see fit.

The graphics were definitely improved in this game vs the original too. The weather effects were too realistic and playing at night is always a challenge.

I would certainly recommend playing the original first and then installing this game. Don't be discouraged too soon by the difficulty, just read that manual and be patient.
