Critical Reaction
The game was not well received, as the game took away heavily from the original RTS genre, and gave itself to more of an arcade one. Many players of the original Blitzkrieg decided to stay with it because they preferred the realism of Blitzkrieg which Blitzkrieg 2 had thrown away. Another reason was because several models from the original game were just re-cycled and used in the game. The Russian rail artillery is one of these, as it has no real use in-game. Blitzkrieg 2 did not reach the success that Blitzkrieg had reached. However, an expansion pack has been released on February 20, 2007, entitled Blitzkrieg 2: Fall Of The Reich. Another expansion pack entitled Blitzkrieg 2: Liberation was released on October 12, 2007 in the EU.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reaction:
“An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness, for speech is itself a critique of life: it names, it characterizes, it passes judgment, in that it creates.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
