The Sudden Strike Series (Sudden Strike/Sudden Strike Forever/Sudden Strike II), excluding Sudden Strike III, is my all-time favorite WWII strategy/tactics triad. If you require cutting edge 3D graphics, you will not like Sudden Strike II. If tactics, problem-solving, and an interest in World War II are your thing, then you will enjoy Sudden Strike II. Some pros: highly detailed, fully destructable environments, including houses, trees, boats, factories, railroads, trains, planes, etc.(every bomb, shell, explosion leaves a permanent scar in the game, and bodies lay where they fall), allows for a wide variety of gaming styles and tactical approaches, and nicely modelled units paired with excellent sound effects make for exciting action. Infantry units can hide or fight inside buildings, use binoculars, man vehicles, artillery and tanks, and you can also steal abandoned enemy vehicles and artillery units. There are so many features to this game that it is difficult to list even a portion. While single player is fun, multiplayer is awesome with a good opponent. The game also includes a map/mission editor to create you own maps and missions, which is also outstanding. The only shortcomings Sudden Strike II presents: Bizarre unit pathfinding at times, poor voice overs on some allied units vs. previous Sudden Strike versions, sometimes vague objectives (hard to know when you've achieved the objective). While there are a number of WWII tactical/strategy games out there, Sudden Strike II is my favorite. Ja, ist Superfantastiche!Read full review
I would rate this game as a very good skilled game with all of the pieces needed in wartime. only down fall is that that resolution could big bigger. It would nice to scrollin and out and do more with your troops. I like to play war games and i loved the first one when it came out in the 1990's. I had a slower PC then and it played great. 2 on the other hand with a nvidia 250 mb graphics card 5200 did not run so well. Maybe i have played to many more advanced ones with better graphics. not the pc or the card. Game is dull in todays standards.
