Once again, it's satisfying in a strange kind of way. Of course, the sequel still models armor thickness and keeps count of each unit's ammunition, but those seem to be secondary concerns when all you have to do is lasso a group of tanks together and blast everything in your way.

This Blitzkrieg is much more forgiving, and the focus seems to be far more on fun than on realism. So much so that it almost became painful at times, because the smallest mistake could be fatal to the entire mission, forcing you to restart the battle or reload from an earlier save.

The original game required a lot of micromanagement in order to succeed. This Blitzkrieg is quite a bit different from its predecessor, though. And while it may not be historically accurate, it's still quite a bit of fun to let go and roll over a country as if it were a speed bump.įight as the Americans, Germans, and Russians in that great tank battle known as World War II. And you can't help but get the feeling that the designers of Blitzkrieg 2 felt the same thing, because this is a World War II real-time strategy game that focuses much more on the popular conception of the war being all about gigantic tank sweeps and epic air battles.

This was a war of global scale with titanic battles, and there's something awe-inspiring about that. World War II has always been a favorite for Hollywood, mainly because it was a war that lends itself well to the big screen.
