But the missions themselves are totally formulaic and will seem like old ground for anyone who has previous experience with the series. Each campaign features some fairly offbeat historical battles that you don't normally find in WWII RTS games, particularly the German one that kicks off in the Baltic states. In one, you try to guide the Soviets into Poland, while in the other, you desperately attempt to hold off the Red Army with Hitler's forces. This is essentially a mission pack rounding up some of the climactic battles from the eastern front in the waning days of WWII. The engine may be old, but it still blows stuff up really well.
BLITZKRIEG 2 GAME SERIES
This has been a pretty good series overall, but at this late date, everything has been done, and the developers at Nival Interactive are now just spinning their wheels. The Blitzkrieg real-time strategy franchise enters its fourth year with another stand-alone expansion in Blitzkrieg 2: Fall of the Reich, which is a happy title for some of us because it indicates that CDV may be coming to the end of the line.
