Video Game Reviews of Blitzkrieg
Customer Review: FRUSTRATING: Very BUGGY
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a wargamer from way back -- enjoyed playing this one to a degree, agree with the other reviewer about lack of solid AI and replayability..boring. Most importantly, IT ALWAYS LOCKED UP ON ME IN THE CAMPAIGN GAME! Not just locked up, froze my Pentium 4 XP latest patch/drivers computer SOLID. In fact, I'm writing the review just after putting the darn thing on E-bay for re-sale. I'm done with it and won't buy anything from Russian programmers again!Customer Review: Wow, This is GREAT!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is 100% amzing! Graphics, Gameplay and Stratagy! 3 different armies (Soviets, ahhhhhhhhh), many battles and even more units. hours of gameplay. This game is for pure stratagists, you need to plan out every move, even how you get your supplies! GREAT!
Customer Review: AN AWESOME GAME!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Feel the sting of battle with the game that's worth every penny!Since seeing Blitzkrieg at Gamespot and buying it here at Amazon, Blitzkreig has become one of my favorite games. Blitzkrieg masterly blends superb historical accuracy with top-notch graphics and tops it off with intense fighting that's both fast and fun.
First off, the historical accuracy of the game is very well-done. As a major WW2 buff, I was impressed at the accurate depictions of tanks like the German Panther and Soviet T-34. The developers actually visited military museums in Moscow to bring extra detail to the 3-D vehicles in the game. Also nice was the adding of lesser-known tanks like the German Nashorn and British Matilida.
Second, the graphics are amazing, all told, the graphics are awesome and impressive.
Third, strategy is required. You must develop a plan of attack and then execute it with troops, tanks, artillery and aircraft. The game is somewhat easy to play, but the missions are challenging, especially the tougher 'historical' missions.
Fourthly, Blitzkreig has a lot of 'cool' aspects too: your infantrymen can throw grenades at tanks to destroy them, you are able to capture and use enemy artillery, you can use paratroopers and you get so many cool vehicles to use.
Blitzkrieg is not perfect though. My beefs with the game are mainly with the supply and repair system, a nice touch, but it's flawed due to its slowness and cumbersomeness. Also, the so-called 'random' mission, played prior to the 'historical' missions, are basically the same mission over and over again.
But despite Blitzkrieg's flaws, it's a very enjoyable, a very tough and a very addictive game that blows Sudden Strike clear out of the water. Get ready, battles rage from Russia to North Africa and from Finland to France, so don't miss out on the fun and excitement that is Blitzkrieg! I highly recommend it to history buffs, wargamers or to anyone craving fun. It's worth the...bucks!
Customer Review: Blitzkreig
Summary: 4 Stars
The game is oodles of fun, but the fact that Air Support is brainless (kind of hangs around and waits to get killed by the enemy) and that the infrantry is an almost pointless assett are two drawbacks.Customer Review: Redundant
Summary: 3 Stars
After the initial glow wore off, it was apparent that there is very limited replayability here. The canned 'random' missions are essentially the same over and over again, and the historical missions are identical every time. A branching campaign as in Panzer General 2 would have been infinitely more interesting.
