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 audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark—that is critical genius.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
