User Rating: 9.1 | Blitzkrieg (2003) PC
Like the other readers, I was puzzled by Gamespot's review. The criticisms about sound and lack of ground breaking advances are probably justified. However, in the context of the historical period this game is simulating, this is an outstanding effort. The sheer number of units alone is cause for praise but the gameplay and general polish of the final game are excellent. For the old time board games out there, this is as close to Squad Leader as anyone has come in real time. Yes, I know that Combat Mission is probably a bit higher on the realism scale but its also incredibly slow paced and not much to look at. I would encourage anyone who has an interest in WW2 and real time strategy to try the demo and, if you like it, pick up this game. It's well worth your time and money.
