Highly addictive gaming!

User Rating: 8.9 | Hearts of Iron II PC

I was a big fan of Paradox Interactives Hearts of Iron I. I instantly knew after grabbing the sequal that they made another star. New features and alot of bugs have been fixed in the latest patch and the A.I is really entertaining to play against. Hearts of Iron 2 is a good mix of strategy and mass-tactic combat simulation and have the ability to grab you and never let go.

With a long learning curve to learn all the basics of land, sea and air combat it later gives countless hours of highly addictive gaming. You can play as all the nations across a long list of diffrent campaigns. The 1936 campaign is the most popular. It gives the player the choices how World War 2 really starts out and lasts till 1947. During these 10 years the world will shape in the favor or either the Allies, Axis or Commitern factions.

A real classic.
