In this expansion pack, the fighting is confined to the Eastern front, over 10 different maps. Locations differed wildly in terrain and weather conditions from scorching deserts to frozen Russian wastelands. There was a freshness to the original that I attribute to the variety of missions. The focus of the gameplay is tighter and more refined than it was in the original, but unfortunately it's also one of the game's biggest disappointments. Even on the easiest setting you'll have quite a struggle on your hands, but not what I would necessarily call a challenge.
While I applaud the resistance to pad the gameplay with complicated and annoying micromanagement, the ramped-up difficulty is certain to alienate novices. In an effort to compete with the glut of WWII games out there, the developers felt it necessary to provide fans with more of a challenge. Whereas Blitzkrieg 2 was relatively easy, it was engaging and entertaining. What you can expect is a more difficult game. The graphics haven't been upgraded, and the missions are less varied. It treads familiar ground, and as a result doesn't take us anywhere new both figuratively and literally. Thanks to computer games, WWII has lasted longer than Gilligan's Island has been in syndication.īlitzkrieg 2: Fall of the Reich is the stand-along expansion pack to Blitzkrieg 2, which was released in 2005. Blitzkreig 2 was a great game that was at the top of everyone's list, but it's doubtful if this expansion pack would even make Schindler's list.
