What Gamespot Users have to say about Hearts of Iron III

Rating:2
A complex global wargame with lots of parts...that just do not add up to a good game. Not even close.
I have been playing wargames for over 40 years. I have tried just about every strategic game of this sort I could get my hands on since I had my first PC back in the 80s. This game is very detailed, but it just fails... Read Full Review

This is game is not for beginners!
Hearts of Iron 3 is an absolute blast once you get the hang of it. Sure it's probably the most complicated game you will ever play with its politics and its puzzling diplomacy and production screens. Paradox veterans sh... Read Full Review

For unemployed control freaks only.
I'm stunned the official review talks about reduced micromanagement. My take on hoi3 is that micromanagement has exploded! That is, if you're playing to actually fight properly. The military command system is vastly ... Read Full Review

Impossible battle results, germany overrun by France in 10 days?????
I bought this game with high hopes for a realistic, playable strategic level game. However, having tried twice to play the Germans in the Blitzkrieg campaign, I am hopelessly outmatched. Poland should have been a pushove... Read Full Review

I think there is lots to like in this game but I have never seen a game with this many broken bits. Some of the issues include - icons not matching nations (trying to figure out which country is which at any given t... Read Full Review

First time to the series and enjoyed it
This was the first in the series i played, pasted on 1 and 2 as the reviews did say they were hard and when the 3rd came out it was said to be easier for a new comer. Some basic details of this very detailed game. ... Read Full Review

Well intended, but also well flawed.
I've played HoI2 and expansions, loved them all, and got really excited when I read about an HoI3 in the making. Finally got it when it came out, installed it, and started it up... and then started it up some more.. and ... Read Full Review

A potentially great game that is utterly destroyed by one of the worst user interfaces of all times.
Granted, strategy game enthusiasts are a special breed. When we have won or lost a battle, we don't simply walk away and call it a day. We start a dissection instead, because we NEED to know why our Messerschmitts fare... Read Full Review

First HOI experience, pleasantly surprised.
This is my first HOI experience and I find that I am pleasantly surprised by the scope of this game and depth, providing just enough micromanagement to feel important yet not too much so as to feel like you are being dra... Read Full Review
