    Multiplayer is a fun aside, but be prepared for your PC to struggle with the choking throng of units on screen. [Aug 2006, p.92]

    In the end, Rush for Berlin is still quite enjoyable despite its flaws and should be credited with making a good effort, especially since it could have easily been mislabeled as just another generic World War II title.

    No surprise, the A.I. rolls over on anything less than Hard, and getting units into tactically feasible formations can be like herding drunken snails.

    If you liked the "Codename: Panzers" or "Sudden Strike" series, you’ll love Rush for Berlin. It’s a challenging and fun game with some real highlights and nice surprises in most levels.

    Rush for Berlin also puts a time limit on your missions, so you can't just wait around while your soldiers heal or your tanks are repaired. [Oct. 2006, p.76]

    In the end Rush for Berlin is a less entertaining version of Codename: Panzers that looks a bit better and has a few moments of intense combat but mostly comes up short in this department.

    Hard to get your head around, and not rewarding even if you stick with it. [Aug 2006, p.96]

    How about a six (Anything more would ignore the lack of freshness, and the fact you can pick-up equally good alternatives like Blitzkrieg 2 and Codename Panzers: Phase One for less than a tenner) and a quick reminder that the promising Company of Heroes and Faces of War are just a few months away.

    Rush for Berlin plays it too safe, not striving to break into new ground with any new ideas or concepts.
