    In short, Blitzkrieg II just doesn't cut the mustard. [May 2007, p.66]

    Brutal difficulty is the only thing that sets this WWII real-time strategy game apart from its predecessors.

    Wise WW2 strategy gamers will stick with "Company of Heroes" and "Faces of War" for the moment.

    It’s difficult in a mean, nasty way. I’m sure there are some people out there who are up for a challenge like this. Those people are idiots who have no life. If you really like to be punished this much, I recommend checking out your local S&M bar. You’ll likely find the developers of this game there holding a whip with your name on it.

It's guns were no better either, though designed to counter the German heavy tanks, the IS-2's were slow at reloading and were often ineffective. Also, the Panther tank was not thicker or stronger than the Tiger 1, which the developers seemed to have the erroneous idea of. Nival has always been brutal in their expansions (though if you have an IQ above 100 and willpower higher than an ant you should do fine.) Scout with aricraft, lure with infantry, clear heavy guns with artillery, and always micro-manage your tanks, face them always 90° to the enemy, never linger around infantry or heavy bombardment and you should do fine. Overall I enjoyed the experience, it's as tactical as 'Fields of Thunder'.… Full Review »
