    The new Partisan system and Theatre Interface are just a few good improvements this expansion has to offer. However, only few of the older problems get fixed and the extra options will only make it harder for a newcomer to get into Hearts of Iron III. Gamers that are familiar with the franchise will however be happy that the most realistic WWII game ever, just got a little bit better.

    Paradox continues the trend of downloadable...... content? In reality there is little new content, and is quite obviously a $20 patch. TheParadox continues the trend of downloadable...... content? In reality there is little new content, and is quite obviously a $20 patch. The game was riddled with bugs that rendered the game almost unplayable upon release. They have a niche market and are milking it dry by charging for patches disguised as an "expansion". It is infuriating that such a great game and developer has followed a rather new industry trend of releasing an unfinished game and charging for patches to complete it. That being said the game is the best ww2 rts there is, none even come close to its depth. You can easily sink 8 hours into this game and not even realize it, it is hands down top 5 for any serious RTS player.… Full Review »

    1. I needed community support to even start the game.

    2. Game-mechanics are somewhat booring. Rather limited options for doing anything, and unless you know the tricks you'll be doing absolutely nothing the first half of the game.

    3. This game is drudgery galore. It's main game-mechanic consist of organizing your troops into a proper chain of command. Doing this is about as time-consuming as in real life. A cluncky and unintuitive interface makes this chore into your own personal hell.

    4. HoI3 is spent waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never does.

    5. You have to go online to learn how to play the game.    … Full Review »
