Looks good, but I've seen conflicting reports. I'm a fan of Imperialism & Civ II, but have never played an EU game. I want to know, is it worth the price?

Isn't there a HoI/EU forum here?John Brown did nothing wrong. -

i can't make up my mind on buying it either. i loved eu2 but hoi seems a much different game, even though it's made by the same company. it looks like a lot of micromanagement given the few aar's i've read.Eschewing obfuscation and transcending conformity since 1982. Embrace the flux.Comment

The only difference from EU in micro management is a more detailed (and some might complain "sprawled", though I do not see that as a problem) tech tree, resource management, and the ability to time invasions for synchronized assaults, or to account for bad weather. I do not find it any more difficult to play in that regard then EU.
The game is very good, but like the EU's, it was released unfinished - it's being pathed up quite well but is still not at the level that EU2 is currently at. (and, like the EU's, it will no doubt be completed eventually - I think that with the next patch it will reach a level of what I think should've been the minimum for release)Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

Yes, the game is better than Civ3... well that doesn't say much, but it's still good

I've put off buying it for the moment.
Maybe a couple of patches down the line when MP is sorted out.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

At least, funny now that I have returned it...
HOI IMHO needs more patches. But, knowing Paradox, we can trust them to do so.

I played the demo, and it didn't grab me. But then, I only thought the EU series was good, not great.Comment

theres a demo for hearts of iron?

Like EU, HoI seems ultimately shallow to me. There's little interesting to do besides the strategic combat. Even the bare-bones colony building of EU is non-existant.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Well HoI is about refighting WW2 with a few what-ifs thrown in to stir the pot in ways that previous WW2 games have not done. Its not designed to be a country simulator set in 1940.
At the moment its more game than WW2 re-enactment, which won't appeal to the purists. Nevertheless I've had fun playing it, and at 100 or so hours have had a good return for my money. I won't be playing it again for a while because I'm addicted to MoO3 and Gal Civ will soon be here. Once a patch comes out that improves the air warfare sequences I'll definitely take another good look at it.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
