17 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
Sudden Strike is pretty much a proper new step in the series (the second game, which was released only in Russia, felt more like an expansion pack than a sequel) with completely new and improved gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are somewhat decent considering the age of this, but if you take other games released about those years, this game is bad-looking.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
This game haz a large multiplayer community on the web for multiplayer games and mods.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
4 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
Forests provide cover and concealment, urban areas allow infantry to garrison buildings, open plains favor armored movement, and chokepoints become deadly when reinforced with artillery or anti-tank weapons.
