EU3 is an amazing expierence and a very rewarding one at that too.....Pros/Cons review
Europa Universalis 3 is one of those games that seem completely underrated, underappreciated, and unnoticed from the crowd. It's a game that takes a turn-based game map and puts the whole game in Real-time by deleting TU... Read Full Review

A great game if you take the time to get into it
I was looking through gamespot at top games and came across Europa Universalis III. I took a glance at it and saw it was a strategy game. And I love strategy games like the Total War series. When I looked at the screensh... Read Full Review

Deep in facts, big on yawns. Lackluster graphics and battle system makes for a bland experience.
Would-be great if the battle system actually worked. Attacking at a ratio of 5:1 will often send your troops running back, even with morale overhand. Seen better graphics on the Amiga back in the 80s. I'm not saying t... Read Full Review

Nice to see an actual STRATEGY-game. OK historically correct. More so than many other games.
This game could be used to get a feeling for history. This includes diplomacy, economics/monetary, military and politics through the late middle-ages and up until the birth of modern day democracy. Its fun for those cant... Read Full Review

Challenging, deeply intricate, but hampered by some "hard-coded" restrictions that prevents a fully open-ended
This game is for your hardcore strategists. It requires patience and planning. I'm sure some people see the screenshots and think "it's like the board game RISK". But it's not. My older brother (28) loves the C... Read Full Review

The mechanics are an improvement over EU2 but something feels a miss!
EU III another fine game from Paradox! well known for their complex strategy games especially the 'europa universalis' based ones which are set on a global scale and in real time. The game is complicated compared to w... Read Full Review

Not enough time in the world to play this game.
I thought Civ 4 had detail. Compared to this game, CIV IV has the complexity of Pac-man. They used those bytes very efficiently I can tell you that much. There's just way to much to do in this game, if you aren't a good ... Read Full Review

Ambitious, daring, and entertaining.
First off, this game is designed to appeal to history and strategy buffs alike. Meaning, it provides flavours of both, however it is not historically accurate nor for the dim witted who enjoy flashy pits of data and the ... Read Full Review

I like it
I really like this game and it is quite more addicting than it was previous. There is a large modding community also which guarantees a large bundle of content always being created. The devs of Civ4 started "borrowi... Read Full Review

Does it excel EU2? well it is highly controversial ...
Sadly, this is not quite what i expected for. EU2 was a masterpiece. EU3 is well, despite tons of new features its just not striking. My first impressions about the game: (PROS) + Court members is a new and good fe... Read Full Review
