Hearts of Iron III
SCORE: 78
War brings up so many memories for so
many people - all over the world. Hearts of Iron III takes us into the
World War II era, and lets us take control of a nation. We then get to
live out those years. We can increase production, attack
our foes, or grind them down with our
defenses. The choices are all yours.
Choices and decisions is what Hearts of Iron III is all about.
There is so much content in this real time strategy game that it can be
exhausting to learn it all. In fact you may need a PhD in micro
management just to get through this PC game. Hearts of Iron III is
not an easy game to learn either.
Expect to spend numerous hours learning how to play Hearts of Iron III.
Test out different scenarios to learn what works best. When you get done
there are expansion packs to purchase and explore. Hearts of Iron III
Their Finest Hour is the latest one (editor at the time this review was
written).
We are dealing with war so expect some violent images. Hearts of Iron
III could have been a lot worse in that department. Many of the
graphics are small, especially for those of us with older eyeballs. The
tones can be on the depressing side. The music is fantastic and brought
so many wonderful memories.
Hearts of Iron III feels like a learning experience to me. If you love
outsmarting the Nazis then Hearts of Iron III may be for you. If you
like quick action, then you might want to look somewhere else. I am
thankful that I was able to play and review Hearts of Iron III on the
PC.
