    This game might look a little older but is still great, you tend to ignore the graphics after playing for a while. If you like WWII games or just love the era you might want to go for the third game but this one still holds it's own.

    Best paradox game, ever. No question. It is so good, that I still haven't made the jump to HOI3. This is in my opinion the absolute best World War 2 simulation there is. This isn't just a war game, it is a simulation of everything that occurred prior and during WW2. Economy, manufacturing, combat...this game has it all. There are also a ton of mods that keep this game fresh (my favorite is The Stony Road). My only complaint with the game, is it is a HUGE time sink. You completely get immersed and lose track of time.

    Another King here. While it is not an RTS per-se like WarCraft or Warhammer. It is still a perfectly good strategy game. I got this two years ago, and still find enjoyment from it. Never will you play a scenario and get the same results. The Replay value on this is gold. And I mean it. This is definatly worth it.

    This game deserves it's praise. The ability to pick and choose the tactics your army fights with is refreshing to say the least. Deciding whether to go submarines or carriers, human wave or blitzkrieg, atom bomb or V2. May seem slow at first, but once things start going they get going quickly.

    This expansion pack adds so much to the already great game of hearts of iron II, so many options you wont know where to begin

    This is quite simply the best WW2 strategy game ever made. It allows you to follow the timeline quite closely if you are so inclined, or go and convince the USA to join the Axis and help take over the world, your choice. The combat is in-depth and supprisingly intuitive for this style of game, and gives you the feeling of actually being in charge of a country's army.

    This game is a free standing expansion to hearts of Iron II and is an upgrade to the games convoying systems and historical accuracy. The biggest part of the expansion is the ability to take control of any country when the 3rd world war breaks out in 1953 between the Soviet Union and pretty much the rest of the world. If you liked Hearts of Iron II then you will most likely love this add on.

    Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday is the expanded version on an already fantastic game. Hearts of Iron 2 lets you play virtually any country during the WW2 era, may that be the United Kingdom, Germany all the way down to Tannu Tuva. It also allows you to win the game with any Nation. You want to rule the world with Germany? It's possible, you want to stop the Germans in 1939? It's also possible but both are challanging to do so. The game grants you control over Politics, Production, Military and Intelligence. If used correctly you can gain massive advantages over your opponents. You can choose your ministers unless there in a protected position eg Head of State. You can produce forts, radar, infantry ect. You control all 3 branches of your nations military forces Army, Navy and Airforce. And you can use your nation intelligence to infiltrate and gain infomation on your nations to your advantage. The Game also uses many Historical events to give the game flavour, such as the Munich Conference, Vichy France and VE Day. Hearts of Iron 2 is a masterpiece built for hardcore strategy fans, there is something for anyone in there and is sure to bring years of entertainment.

    This RTS is not for the faint of heart. The combat my not be perfect, but when you get in to the actual strategy of research and building the armies and facilities, there is nothing else like it. when you throw in the diplomacy options and the historical accuracy, along with the pure number of countries you can play, this game is freaking amazing. 5 stars.

    Once you learn to play it, No other RTS will ever feel the same. Fair warning, once you feel all its elements you start to look down upon other games.

    This is possibly the best strategy game ever made. It has its flaws, and it is difficult to master, but it is a truly epic videogame. 10/10

    Doomsday is the polar opposite of Electronic Arts games. Big on gameplay but lacking graphics. That said it doesn't matter because it is thrilling and full of unfathomed depth. Must have for any fan of world politics, history or stragedy.
