    If Eversim had not changed President Medvedev’s portrait with President Putin’s, I bet most people would not have noticed any differences between Geo-Political Simulator 2 and 3. Stability is a good thing, but the series is in a dire need of a radical reform. The developers have a lot of experience now, but, to enter next level, they have to make a new game from scratch.

    An ambitious game, too ambitious for its own good. Masters of the World sports an impressive amount of content and options, but also plenty of bugs and a terrible UI.

What I can't comprehend is how fans of the genre don't or can't understand why these games often don't simulate as realistically as people would like them to. I mean sure this game has a relatively large number of bugs, but when you have such a small development team trying to create an engine that can accurately and realistically represent how things go on in the real world, then it's is fully understandable how they have made such a flawed game. They do this out of pure love of the genre, not for profit, because everyone knows selling politically-based games is not the most profitable endeavor in the gaming industry. They could easily go work on an FPS or RPG game, but they choose not to. For what it is, I think it is worth the $50 dollars or so you spend on it, I certainly don't feel as though I was ripped off.… Full Review »

Because it is really an archaic game. even Europa Universalis 3 that came years ago had better graphics and gameplay. And the price at 50 bucks really get in my nerves. They should pay me for even playing this thing! I strongly advice gamers to stay away from Masters of the World, Geopolitical Simulator 3.… Full Review »

    I am a big fan of strategy games and geo-political simulations especially (my all-time favorite being Democracy 2). I had spent enough time onI am a big fan of strategy games and geo-political simulations especially (my all-time favorite being Democracy 2). I had spent enough time on GPS2 (Rules of Nations) to know what to expect, so I purchased the game only because I want to support such efforts. So I knew that the interface would be generally poor and that I would have to spend lots of time doing tedious, repetitive tasks. However, I did expect certain infantile mistakes to have been resolved by now. I should have known better.

    The annoying issues one encounters in this game are too many to mention. A lot of the time, you'll be wondering what you did wrong, because the feedback you get is abhorrent. Well, if you have the patience to endure, you eventually realize that it's not you, it's the simulation that is all messed up. After endless saves and reloads, I did have the patience to circumvent the things that made no sense and get Greece to a sustainable budget surplus and some decent growth, with low inflation and unemployment. I knew I had to turn off war, in order to enjoy the game, so I had all the time in the world to figure out what makes this game tick. The answer is, that it doesn't. The simulation engine is so deeply faulted, that it's not really worth trying to figure out what they got right and what they got wrong. At the end, you feel that the reason you never get any advice on the actions you are considering, is that even the game creators have no clue as to what is actually going to happen. The simulation engine may decide that the 25Billion Euros you were supposed to get from privatizing the Energy sector will just disappear. Don't buy the game. I will play it again, because I love the genre so much, but only to go to war and have some fun, maybe as a dictator. The reasonable route leads nowhere, so what the heck.    … Full Review »
