Blitzkrieg 2

A solid game even considering the few problems I mentioned previously and is a cut above most of the RTS titles available.

A worthy sequel to the original and an engaging tactical RTS game. The sequel is more elaborate, comprehensive and technically advanced than the original.

Blitzkrieg II is looking in fine form to lengthen CDV’s reign as World War II real time kings, and if only the pesky problem of units staying where you want them could be solved this would be an essential buy for every armchair strategist.

Sure, it has a few blemishes, like an air control system that's a pain in the backside to manage and the usual pathfinding suspects, but the overall experience of deploying hundreds of different units, then winning or losing on the merits of tactical cleverness alone, is sure to put a smile on even the most jaded turn-based aficionado's grumpy mug.

With a strict eye for historical detail and a phenomenal amount of content, this is sure to please anyone looking for a long and challenging experience.

Not a huge leap in RTS gaming, but a good progression in the WWII RTS genre.

Those gamers looking for countless battle strategies with a variety of units and numerous possibilities will find this title to be a good bet.

A good WW2 RTS, but suffers from the same problems the first one did. [Sept. 05]

The frame rate issues are annoying, and the aircraft are nigh uncontrollable, but it really does offer a welcome change for people tired of resource building RTS games that are less about strategy and more about how much gold you can mine.

Anyone who wants to experience the tabletop wargaming experience without purchasing all those little minuatures should take a serious look at this game. It offers so much detail for the retail price.

The real downside, other than a relatively steep learning curve for newcomers to the genre, to Blitzkrieg 2 is the poor choice of music.

Strategy players will come up to speed quickly and enjoy the vast array of units and unit abilities, while WWII fans who aren’t too interested in stat tracking will dig the game’s accessibility and--living up to its name--focus on constant action.

This is the type of game that I will not be playing non-stop, but will pick up once in awhile to play a mission or two at a time.

Teetering on the edge of greatness. [Jan 2006, p.52]

Though by no means difficult or historically accurate, Blitzkrieg 2 is still a fun, fast-paced World War II strategy game that lets you steamroll opponents into the ground.
