The first WWII sim I’ve played in a long time that is truly groundbreaking, exciting, challenging and intellectually stimulating.
Perhaps it is just me, but at times it seems that all PC strategy games focus on one conflict of human history—World War II—to the exclusion of all others. Usually this means that one game soon looks like another. First-person shooters attempt to recreate Band of Brothers orSaving Private Ryan; flying simulators put you once again over London in the fall of 1940; real-time “strategy” games result in the infamous "tank rush" that began with Age of Empires and others of that ilk, just placed in a Second World War environment. And anything with a tank in it means the vast expanses of the Eastern Front.
So it is rare when I can play a game and feel that the experience 1) replicates the problems of commanding troops on a chaotic battlefield, and 2) is different enough to truly stand out from the pack. Battlefront’s Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943(ToW2-K), is the first WWII sim I’ve played in a long time that is truly groundbreaking, exciting, challenging and intellectually stimulating.
