ESCMag verdict Panzerfaust / 1:10 Craig Schneider from ESCMag tells me that their review is live, and indeed it is: Buy this one if you're into all-combat RTS or you're just a big WWII fan. I think it is a game that will give many hours of enjoyable playability. Short, but sweet, the review gives SS2 a score of 8 out of 10.

T-minus 1 day Panzerfaust / 8:3 Tension is rising and nerves are freying as there is now just 24 hours until the start of the Official Sudden Strike 2 Tournament, being held tomorrow at VGA gaming centres nationwide. With around 500 gamers in 25 cities around Britain, this ranks amongst the largest single gaming tournaments ever held in the UK. And with the prize worth over £2,000, there will be no shortage of action as the cannon fodder is whittled down to the eventual champion. Good luck to all, and keep an eye on the VGA site for coverage / results.

ITReviews gives SS2 a once-over Panzerfaust / 7:48 Staying true to their name, ITReviews have run SS2 through the mill and produced a short-ish review: "If you liked the first game, then odds are you'll appreciate the tweaks SS2 makes, but even so there's no getting away from the fact that it really isn't all that different to the original. It's looking a bit dated too, but if you fancy the idea of a proper, authentic and tactical RTS war game then SS2 is still a worthwhile purchase." I say more of the same is not necessarily a bad thing, especially in this case.

IGN Review Panzerfaust / 2:50 Steve Butts from PC IGN has reviewed our beloved Sudden Strike 2, scoring it a decent 8.0 out of 10: "If you're yearning for an authentic World War II real-time strategy game, then this is the one for you...Like I said, if you need an RTS with a wide-scope and lots of action -- and if you need it right now -- Sudden Strike II is your best bet." As usual, they also have a HUGE media gallery, with 40 new screenshots and an archive of a boatload more. It's surely the most you'll see if the game short of actually playing it!
