 NOT SUCH A BAD GAME! June 13, 2008
I recently purchased this game and it runs very well on my PC. For those who experienced bugs it could just be a matter of updating your PC's drivers and other components. As for a review of the game: if you have played the board game version you cannot beat the face to face experience so this game becomes Plan B if you can't get the board game happening. If you are new to this game, then I would say that you would enjoy this game a great deal but you must be patient and progress through the tutorials and learn how to communicate with the other powers and express your orders correctly. It took me a little while to learn "the ropes". I used to have the Hasbro version of this game and in some ways, I like it better than this one. This version has been targeted more toward teens than adults. The Hasbro version had a more mature look and feel to it with old period photographs and music. This Atari version has character animations that express their content or disgust with each set of moves, which for me, got old pretty quick! Overall, this new version handles diplomatic negotiations with more flexibility. You have far greater control on diplomatic proposals and strategy. The Hasbro version had a power suggest a course of action and you either agreed or disagreed with it. The Atari version lets you highly detail your strategic proposals. Each game version has it's own merits. The game is a lot of fun. Once I start a game I cannot walk away from it until I win! I particularly enjoy this type of game because I enjoy reading and studying history. This game captures the great powers of Europe on the brink of World War One! Here is a link for the Hasbro version if you want to check it out. Diplomacy Also here is a link to an excellent book on the origins of World War One The Guns of August
 DO NOT BUY June 13, 2008
Very buggy, very slow, poor graphics, the list goes on...
By far the worst game I have ever purchased. Paradox should be ashamed of selling this garbage.
Thank god I only spent $10 (including shipping).
Buying fast food would have been a better investment!
 Good Buy April 23, 2008
It's a good game, hours of fun. There are a couple of bugs in it though, but it for the most part is a fun and challenging game. I paid less than $5 for it, well worth the money.
I should have listened February 22, 2008
This product has too many bugs in it to make it playable. When you're going against AI, and one of the players sends you a treaty, you don't even get to see what they're proposing. You're just supposed to say yes or no. I wouldn't do that in real life, would you?
Combat doesn't move smoothly either. They only time there's no problem is when you move into an empty territory, otherwise it gets choppy. The avatars can get annoying, and you can't get support on it from Paradox's website, just a forum to leave a message in? What about a patch? The other site address on the box doesn't come up with anything.
I should have heeded the other reviews and skipped this game. Learn from my mistake.
Difficult to use July 16, 2007
I play the board game and enjoy it. I have played the old PC game and found it useful but not particularly challenging. When this game came out, I was eager to get it. I have spent two sessions trying to get through all the set-up and directions and find them laborious at best. It promises good features, but I haven't yet waded through all the muck to reach them. Since I've already paid for it and I enjoy Diplomacy, there will probably come a day when I try again to get it up-and-going, but probably not today.
