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:
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
