Blitzkrieg

"A Good Strategy Game"

The game Blitzkrieg is a real time based on World War 2 facts game. It is a new game by CDV. This game has no actual story line but follows on the actual war facts. There are 3 teams in this game.

The Russians, Allied forces and Germany forces, obviously, the Russians were run by their president, allied forces also and Germany by the famous Hitler. The game is quite simple to play but the point of view is very difficult to see. It has the zoom in and zoom out ability but are useless in any point as all can be seen will be a particular object. It does not provide a strategically point of view. On a rate of 1 to 10 I would give it a 4 due to the lack of control and fun value. In realistic ness, the game does not have any buildings popping out of the ground. The buildings are there and can be interacted with. You may choose between turning on the lights of the vehicles at night or not. You can also camouflage it at night so it would not be seen. Amazingly, this game has a good programming, which allows the game to go through night and day sequence. Each weather and light of day will affect the vehicle's performance.

I believe the sound and graphics make a game and it is possible also for it to break the game. To play this game you will need a decent sound card and a decent graphics card. Depending of your computer speed, the game will be able to adjust itself on speed. Graphics, as I said earlier, I would give it a 4 out of 10.

This game will probably take up to 4 to 5 weeks when you want to complete the game. Probably ones you play it, you would not want to play again as it is too troublesome. It is only fun to play it ones. Personally, I still have not completed the game yet. I got bored while playing it.

I would say it is probably not worth buying it as its entertainment value is low but it has a good solid line on history. So, if you are a history player, this Real Time Strategy game is for you. If you are also looking for realistic ness, this is the game for you. I would rate it as a 4 out of a 10 in overall concept.
