The Bottom Line
A great World War II real time strategy game, for a genre that doesn't have many. Game-play is at first difficult but with as many options as Blitzkrieg has, it's a necessity to be detailed.
Pros
- Extremely detailed w/ 200+ units to fight with.
- Game is very replayable, w/ excellent graphics.
- Breaks some of the "old" RTS molds.
Cons
- Learning controls is time consuming.
- Some missions just too hard.
Description
- Over 200 units from artillery, planes, tanks, trucks, troops, jeeps, and much more.
- Ability to play the Germans, Soviets, or Allied(British/US) forces.
- Large number of historical missions and campaigns, plus random missions for unlimited gaming.
- Graphics extremely detailed, with charred out buildings & vehicles left behind after battles.
- Some of the missions are franky too hard, and the controls take some getting use to.
- Does not have the "gather resources", "build troops" that many other RTS games contain.
Guide Review - Blitzkrieg Review
Blitzkrieg is a World War II real time strategy game that allows you to choose one of the three main forces from World War II. The campaign missions start out simple but then get harder and more detailed as the game goes along, with some being just too difficult.
The graphics for Blitzkrieg are excellent with units from all powers being very detailed and accurate. It also breaks away from some of the traditional real time strategy games where resources are gathered and then in turn used to build troops and vehicles. This means you can't send all your forces head on into battle, or they'll be nothing left to complete the mission with as you watch your forces be shredded by enemy artillery.
