Hearts of Iron 2

Excellent service, and product!

Just the ticket for war gamers. I think I will have hours of fun with this game, because on first looking at it(I haven't played it yet), the content will give me more than enough fun, and the graphics and sound are really good!

Perhaps there may be quite a lot to learn, which is one drawback, and this will take some time to digest, before I can play easily. I am a slow learner though. I was amazed to see the game had an age limit of 7 years old, because it seems complicated to play. But that may be me.

Over all it looks really good, and I am looking forward to playing it!

Hearts of Iron 2 is the best strategy game I ever play

Hearts of Iron is excellent. I've learned more from this game than I have in most of my general History classes.

A very good game with many options to explore.

Hearts of Iron 2: After 2 patches - game killing bugs - have brought promise from Paradox management to provide patch # 3. Game engine does not provide possibility to alter WWII history (whole purpose of a PC GAME is to provide a what-if possibility for the future Rommels-Montgomerys-Pattons. In 1936 campaign-playable game ends after Germany overruns France. Never managed to finish a game as boredom sets in at midpoint.

Graphics are inferior to earlier effort, HOI-I.

After some 10 uninspiring game efforts with the same game engine, Paradox developers need to develop a new game engine (Turn based, partial turn-based LOTR2, TOAW, etc.).

There are not many decent strategy games; Paradox is not alone. The shoot-them-ups dominate sales (at least they work).

For me, it's back to Chessmaster, or relationships with human beings - yecht!!!
