1 out of 5 stars FLOP   February 22, 2008
 0 out of 5 found this review helpful

What a let down, after installation I had to endure one game program problem after another.

Game will not respond to commands.
Game will not stay centered on my computer screen thus denying me access to some command selections.
World view stayed blurry,and other visual problems.
Yes my computer has been upgraded with all the max memory etc.
All my other comp. games play well.
I do not recommend purchasing this game !!!!



1 out of 5 stars Intel Inside? Stay Away   January 6, 2008
 2 out of 12 found this review helpful

Why is it that reviewers never tell you that if you have a certain chipset, the program won't run?

I was forced to give it one star, but this game does not deserve any.

This program suffers from a serious bug. If you don't have the right chipset, the maps don't display. All you get is one big ocean. The company is aware of the problem, and has a patch which really does not fix it. That is, with their patch, you get a funny looking map, but forget trade, dipolomacy and other things which make the game interesting. Of course the programers blame the problem in Intel. But as a consumer, I cannot get it to work on either an HP Media Center or two different Dell computers.



5 out of 5 stars Third Time IS the Charm   July 30, 2007
 13 out of 14 found this review helpful

I have purchased each release upgrade in this game series and, in my opinion, EU III is by far the best in the series. Unlike other reviewers I really like the new look of the game and the ease and access to more information you get from the other views of the map - terrain, political, religious, etc. - really an enhancement. As to the divergence from historical events, I rather like the play of this edition better than the slavish approach of EU II to history which caused things to happen that, in the context of the game being played, made no sense at all.

The big plus to me is that I have not encountered any bugs in EU III after many hours of play. EU II was very buggy, even after downloading patches. III has been solid.

Another thing I really enjoy is that the economic logic really makes sense - you don't have to experience hyper-inflation as was inevitable in II. The national development options also make better sense. I enjoy the military improvements - vastly superior to previous releases; the whole game is just better in every way.

I absolutely love these games and am deeply addicted to playing them at virtually every opportunity. If you enjoy thinking about what you're doing and really planning things and then watching your vision take shape, this game is a winner hands down!!



1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware   June 8, 2007

I downloaded the demo and was very impressed. However, the game itself is not compatible with my system, and if you're interested in this game, do the research. EU3 has a tremendous number of bugs and compatibility issues, and if you're willing to deal with that, it can be a rewarding game. Otherwise...


4 out of 5 stars Good strategy game   May 17, 2007

The game is not visually appealing compare to Medieval 2 but overall the computer opponent's AI or gameplay is far superior in Europa. You actually have to think twice before you declare war on your neighbour because allies will actually send troops to help your neighbour and your allies will actually send troop to help you. This will never happen in Medieval 2. If you get attack by your neighbour. You are on your own because your allies will just watch and do nothing. This game has endless posibility as to what route you want to pursue such as exploration + colonization of new world or world domination where as Medieval 2 you only have one choice: conquer or be conquered.Europa has more replay value and more options. You want a game that makes you think or one that looks beautiful?
