Why not write a review or post a rating

http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/panz ... Btitle%3B0

You can actually influence the reviewers from the magazines. If they think their readers like the game they tend to give more positive reviews themselves. Sad but true! They also give more coverage to games that have lots of player interest so registering your interest on these sites all helps! Games with lots of good reviews are also easier to sell to retail. Retail buyers dont play games - they just go to metacritic!

Thanks for your help!

i already wrote a review on gamespot a give 9.0 to the game. but our dudes here are too lazy. gamespot forums are dead. forums are more important. many people check forums before buying a product.

As requested I have done a quick review on gamespot and given it a 10. I believe it deserves it.

Difficulty:Just RightTime Spent:20 to 40 HoursThe Bottom Line:"Masterpiece"
So few are the times that one can re-vist an old friend and relive the old times like they were yesterday. And rarer still when you find that your old friend has matured to a point greater than the sum of the years and you can enjoy yourself all over again. This is what you will find in this re-vamped iteration of the old veteren from the glory days of SSI Panzer General. Born from the vision of the UK gamimg house of Slitherine. Panzer Corps brings new life to a proven system and allows the player to exercise his strategic mind as well as his tactical execution set with-in the boudaries of a logistical algorithim that keeps the struggle based in reality. Structured with-in a campagin system that is a re-study of World War 2 played out in a gaming terms that will keep you up for hours at a time. This is not to be missed!

I just submitted the Gamespot review of Panzer Corps (8.0 Great!) over at the N4G gaming site. Hopefully, that will give the game some additional publicity. If anyone here is a member at N4G, please make some posts in the comments section.

Here's the link to N4G article: http://n4g.com/news/808790/gamespot-panzer-corps-review

This is both the entry level and intermediate war game. It's best at describing the various military vehicles and units from World War 2. In terms of graphics, it wasn't your 3D fancy games, but it is more fun and playful than those eye candy product. Based on remake for earlier Panzer General, it brings many nostalgic idea but enhanced with carefully planned tweak. For those whose new to the genre, Panzer Corps are addicting game which you can brought your unit from campaign to campaign just like an RPG ! It even comes with a commander for the unit later on.

Actually they don't. Most check reviews by going to large gaming sites like IGN or Gamespot for example, checking sites like Metacritics or Gamerankings or just typing the name of the game in Google with the word "review". If they would be waiting for a review on their favorite gaming forum, then they would be waiting for a long, long time considering the niche of this game. Reviews on related forums will also never be useful, that's like asking people on a Battlefield 3 forum what they think of Modern Warfare 3.

I have posted my thoughts about Panzer Corps at the military history forums I visit that have gaming sections. I converse with many of the guys that post there and feel like this is the best way for me to spread good news. I purchased last week and really enjoy the game. The ability to mod made PzC attractive to me. I like to experiment with equiptment files. I can't wait for the guys who make maps and scenarios to start doing their thing.

When Rudankort released PGForever I never imagined a PG like game would surpass that work. Panzer Corps is not PG. The basic concept is the same. But PzC is a brilliant evolution and execution of an idea that is well beyond and different from the original.

Thank you Rudankort and Slitherine for an excellent game.

This ^ is why many players no longer trust players reviews or scores. No game deserves a 10. This game is not 10 worthy. It's a remake for gods sake. Panzer General didn't even deserve a 10. You skew the scores when you give a game a 10 but some clearly deserve a 1 or 0. I gave it an 8 like most reviewers. It's an average strategy game at best it is not a recreation of WW2. It's more like a game of chess using hexes to me. Fanbois ruin the confidence in player scores.

Ah and you are a godly entity that decide that his opinion is the only one right? For you the game may be worth 8 points, to someone who hates turn based strategy it may be worth 0 points, tho others it may be worth 6 points and finally to Cptkremmen it may be worth 10 points. That's the nice thing about personal opinions, everyone is entitled to his own. How useful the review is going to be for someone else is mostly in the description. If anyone just writes great game, all top and gives it 10 points then i agree the review is quite pointless but its the same when someone writes average strategy game 8 points. The whole points are imho just a rough orientation guide and the true info lies in the detailed descriptions and comments.

i love this game. but i agree. i never read players reviews who give a game 10/10. i wrote a review and give the game 9/10. thats because when u write a review you have to endorse an objective POV.

This is quite correct though I do have my favorites I check first like Gamespot, IGN and PCgamer/uk. I'm more interested (or was until the 10 score robots showed up) in player reviews myself. I'm also more interested in how the ai plays and how many difficulty levels a game has and how challenging it is at various levels (though we just don't get enough information on this most often). I really don't care about how much glitz and glamor a game has or where all the little buttons are (I'll find this out when I play the damn game).

Iain didn't you give your/this game a 10 at Gamespot?

For shame on you if you did that. Publishers/developers should never give a review of their own games that's just fail in my book.

IMHO even Goebels did that. He put 10 score for the germans campaign result..

I notice the user scores have dropped below 8.0 now, yesterday they were at 8.4 what's happening boys & girls? Finding you don't like the game as much afterall? Maybe it was Iains shameless plug at getting more votes and higher scores? lol

It has something todo with a voting player who gave 6.0 score (his name is Kailii) . If you notice that he gave 7.0 score for another game which he think it wasn't a good game and it's not taste like russian games

.
If you read it right, he complain like this :

"There is no way to at least cycle through your troops, there is no map, and the game has a nasty tendency to mix up "skip turn" and "fortify" orders, so there is a good chance it "forgets" about some of your units."

for the Frontline Nation games

actually you can cycle, you can see map, you can recheck what unit not being moved for Panzer Corps. Any thought why he gave 7.0 ? for that serious problem for that games ( beside the 3D of course ) ?

He even mentioned about giving 7.0 for PzC if the balance for attack was fix ( which I found already random )
I think that Panzer Corps is really good at release, nothing to patch early. Imagining the reason for the score it self was very subjective.
What's the matter with giving yourself a 10 score, if you think you already done the best and know it pleases much of the audience. Was it being humble is the order of the day for such marketing company ?

I'll definitely write something up about it. This game is incredible. I played a ton of Allied General (though not much PG, unfortunately) and this really takes me back. I'm really glad I got this!
