Old PC games vs. the new ones

a) Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg is a Real-Time strategy game, happening in WW2. You can choose three sides to fight with: Germans, Allies and Soviets. There are 20 historical battles to fight, and several secondary battles. In each mission you are given specific number of troops, which you must use to defeat the enemy. There aren’t any barracks or base buildings to make a cannon fodder, so you must plan each move carefully! I believe that’s the best part of game. Reinforcements may com from time to time, but taking risks isn’t a very good idea. Each mistake is paid dearly, so take care of your troops! It’s the key to success.

There are many massive battles, so it’s great pleasure to watch a fireworks across the battlefield. You must try it, to believe it!

Rate: 9.5/10

b) Blitzkrieg 2

This is pretty good game, but only if you don’t have original Blitzkrieg installed. The game is classic RTS WW2 game with fancy graphic (but I don’t like it), new interface and that’s it. There are about 3x more missions than in Blitzkrieg, and that’s positive side. Negative side is that all of them are somewhat same. You must conquer something, or defend something, and that’s it. Another negative side is that corpses are disappearing. WTF? They are DISAPPEARING? In BLITZKRIEG? That means that few minutes after battle, no signs of it will left. Just craters in ground, but that’s not it! That and soldiers are moving somewhat weird...
