Summary: Decent game but hard to master or learn.
Review: This game is pretty decent. When I first played it, I unistalled the game after playing it for about 10 minutes because it was impossible for me to beat the first few missions. It is very different from other RTS games such as Starcraft, Warcraft, and Age of Empires. Unlike those RTS games this games this game is not simple and it might take a while to get better or get used to the gameplay. I have only played it about a month now so I am still a noob at this game but single player is still pretty fun. The first thing that reminded of me was the Combat Mission games which made me think that Blitzkrieg was more of a TBS game than RTS. It is RTS, however, it is very similar to Combat Mission if you played it before. The units move slowly in groups and the setting is in WWII. Also, the sound is very realistic.The requirements is one thing that you don't have to worry about. If you have read all my reviews, you know that I own whole mess of PCs. But instead of using my newer PCs, I used the oldest PC that I had for about 4 years which the system specifications are Celeron 900mhz, 256mb ram, GeForce 2 and ran it on 1024x768x32, a medium resolution, without any slowdowns. So, any people can play this game with a dated PC which shouldn't go below Pentium 2 400mhz, 128mb ram, and 16mb video card. It is not the official requirements but my requirements are little higher which will make the game run a little better. If you are a quick learner or if you have played all types of RTS and TBS games, this game is definitly for you. Also if you are a WWII buff, this game might be also for you. But if you aren't satisfied with my review, then it is safer bet that you try the demo from fileplanet.com, gamershell.com, or filefront.com.

Review: This is a short review for the developers of this game: the historical accuracy & accurate detail up to the lowest level put this game in the category of "hobby" as opposed to "toy for children". Personally I prefer to take decicions on national level myself (see: Medieval: Total War) instead of receiving "orders" (the "campaign" & "mission" system) but then obviously you loose some histrical accuracy. Good work, congrats.

Summary: Turn based strategy gamer gets hooked by this RTS!!!
Review: Well i have to admit, when i played the demo of blitzkrieg i was already hooked.
I'm new to real time strategy games, i'm a turn baser of old!
For your info i'm running a P4 2.4 gig, 256 ram, with a 64 meg graphics card, and i had absolutley no trouble running this game, no hiccups.
Untill i played the demo i was hooked on panzer general 3d and scorched earth, those WERE my bread and butter games.
This game is great!
If i gave this game a 5 star rating then it would have to be perfect and its not.
But its damn near close.
As other reviewers mentioned, it gets kind of tedious when you have to supply your vehicles, and you are kind of vulnerable when you do this unless you have your area very well secured, i guess i had to get used to the idea of enemy units attacking me at a moments notice, DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND!
What i really like about this game is when you are deploying "artillery for example" and you actually see the guys picking and packing up the guns, seeing the arms on the guns swing open and deploy, never had anything like that in panzer general, that alone is really neat!
I'm a bit of a WWII amature armour history buff so i really get a great deal of joy to see that the damage is realistic, for example i have this other game a WWll tank simulator, and in that game, "if your playing as the germans" is very disheartening to have your panther or tiger1 shot to peices by a ordinary sherman tank at 2000 yards!
That just did'nt happen, so i'm happy that this game uses realistic damage in it.
I just wish i could figure out how to delete my old saved games, but other than that i would highly reccomend this game to anyone.
The learning curve is a little steep only because you need to learn what tanks and guns can do what and what they can't do, but there is a section where you can look at all the units in this game to help you with that.
I am very happy i bought this game!

Summary: Darn the bugs....
Review: Well, first off, if you can tolerate the bugs of which I speak, make my rating 5 stars. Okay, on to the bugs of which I speak. When I played the demo for Blitzkrieg, none of the hotkeys worked. I assumed that this was probably just a demo thing, and would be corrected by the time the game came out--and besides, it was an otherwise fantastic game, so I was excited for its release. When I finally got the full-length version, I discovered that, basically, Blitzkrieg would not work with my keyboard. For example, when the player name box popped up, I started to backspace away the word "Player"; I got the letter "m" instead. Every time I used backspace, it would happily delete the letter--and replace it with the letter "m". Using "Shift" in the menues brought me--without fail--to the Multiplayer screen; when I used shift to try to group units together in-game, up popped the options screen. The pause button (spacebar) was inoperable; thus, when the saved mission loaded (paused, of course), I had no way of unpausing to continue, and had to restart the mission. Without these bugs, Blitzkrieg would've been a fantastic game. As it was on my PC, it was a monumental pain in the arse. I'm thankful that the guy at EB let me exchange it for something else. If you can stand the bugs I've described, and like a good RTS, then Blitzkrieg is the game for you. I really had high hopes for this one, but I suppose I'll have to wait till another quality WW2 RTS comes along.
