Damn Paradox for ruining this game with bugs and restrictions

User Rating: 5 | Hearts of Iron III PC
By walcor | Review Date:
To start I am a great fan of HOI, the first game was a blast and the second one even better, but constant issues and bugs made it difficult during LAN play, but that aside the game was great.

HOI 3 has made progress by making it 3d and more tactical by adding tons of provinces, tho im not all that impressed. The tech tree is confusing and a lot more complicated (not very intuitive) than in HOI 2 (it should be the other way around as they proclaim), what the hell was wrong with the HOI 2 tech tree???!!"? one of the simplest and best configurations I have seen & worked nicely, now there is the espionage "thing", whats up with that? I am Nazi Germany why cant I declare war on whom I please, I have to send spys and wait until some "threat level" reaches a pint so I can attack??!?"? this really got me frustrated, not to mention the constant crashing (and no I don't have a rubbish PC) & the fact that the game starts up for like 15 min????....if these faults weren't there HOI 3 would be perfect!

Hope they fix it....if not well a loss for paradox
