    Scores high marks due to the retro-type feel of the game; it’s a reminder of why early RTS games were so fun.

    The enemy AI has been tweaked and this helps to make the title a little better and just that bit harder too. Plus placing the emphasis on General Patton takes you through several important WWII battles. Not a true classic, but one to get especially if you like the Blitzkrieg series.

    A great look, a compelling historical storyline and an emphasis on in-depth strategy and tactics contribute to a fun gaming experience.

    For those non-history buffs, but who are RTS fans this is not a bad little RTS game, this game focuses less on construction and defense than most RTS’s, and more on the combat aspect.

    Fans of the Blitzkrieg series will probably be pleased. There is a great deal of challenging RTS gameplay, and the WWII flavor is quite strong. Still, the more casual RTS gamer probably won’t be able to overlook the frustrating control and less-than-stellar AI.

    To really enjoy this game you have to be a fairly avid RTS fan. Second, you also have to be an RTS fan that really couldn’t give a rat’s ass about gathering supplies.

    Functional WWII strategy! Again! Gah! [Feb 2005, p.93]

    An excellent WW2 strategy game that focuses on real-time battlefield tactics and strategy. It follows in the footsteps of previous Blitzkrieg An excellent WW2 strategy game that focuses on real-time battlefield tactics and strategy. It follows in the footsteps of previous Blitzkrieg games, featuring realistic battles in a historical setting, played through the eyes of one of the greatest US tank commanders in history, General George S Patton. If you're into pure strategy games and WW2 this game is a must-have, especially if you loved Blitzkrieg Burning Horizon.… Expand
