Blitzkrieg 2 is a RTS located in WW2. As its predecessor and the similar Sudden Strike games, Blitzkrieg 2 focuses on the battles of World War II rather than real-time strategy aspects like base building and resource extraction. The game features many new features and units over its predecessor; the graphics engine is upgraded, allowing for full 3D and the game features over 250 units compared to Blitzkrieg's 200. The player has the ability to dig trenches, lay mines, resupply and repair units or call in air support but there are no resources. Virtually everything can be destroyed including buildings and bridges. Forests can be flattened by tanks or artillery. Each unit of a respective nation speaks its own language, adding immensely to the immersion. The game shipped with a mission and resource editors for users to create their own units and maps. The game contains five factions: Germany Soviet Union Great Britain and France Japan USA
A sequel for the original Blitzkrieg released back in '03 , Blitzkrieg 2 eschews it's predecessor's highly serious tactical gameplay and placed emphasis more towards faster battles and lesser micromanagement, even though gameplay is considerable easier than the first, BK2 does not hold back on higher difficulties and you might find yourself losing faster than you can click units.
overall Blitzkrieg 2 is an enjoyable RTT but fans of the original will be disappointed by the sequel's emphasis on zerg rushing and "Arcade" feel.
