Panzer Elite Action is a fast-paced WW2 action game that lets the player feel the power of 30 tons of steel armor around them and gives them the ability to command increasingly powerful tanks in a series of intense and dramatic battles.

WP : What made you decide to go for the action style game rather than as with the original?

MH : The answer is simply a monetary one. The market for hardcore simulations is very, very limited today. Especially in the US. If you look at the numbers, doing an action game was the right choice. In addition it´s a very unique game – you have many action games out there, based on soldiers, but a vehicle action based game is fresh – and driving a 45 ton steel beast will give you a real feeling of power...Read the entire Panzer Elite Action interview (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=26418) or you can also check out 21 new PEA screenshots (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=26402) over at WorthPlaying.

I played this game at E3 and was very impressed. Granted it's only an arcade game, not much realism, it was still a blast. The developer I talked to did mention the game was running on a very high end rig and would otherwise be pretty choppy, but they were working on optimizations.

Oh and one more thing, NO COOP! Frustrating as hell.

Hooray for the idiot console gamers who cant play difficult games and make developers make shitty arcade games.
