Not playable. Seriously.

User Rating: 3.5 | Hearts of Iron III PC
I have played all all Hearts of Iron series, every one of them,
- Hoi1,
- Hoi2,
- Doomsday,
- Amageddon,
- Arsenal of Democracy
- Iron Cross.

I have enjoyed all of them, more or less. I also had created my own game via editors, created new pictures for techs/events, created and shared at least 3 music mods... enjoyed every bit of them.

About Hoi3... I have forced myself for the 5th time (put a couple of months between each try) to start a new game and i still am frustrated about tons of things. Everytime i try, after a couple of hours of struggle, i decide that it is simply not playable. Everytime it happens the same way. Not because of the bugs, but there is a serious flaw in the design of the game. There are excellent new ideas and implementations in the game, but in overall.. something keeps you off of playing this game.

This sequel is a complete disappointment. it requires great talent to ruin a great game with such a sequel.
