Anyone played this or the predecessors?

I am a HUGE Empire:Total war fan, ever since back in the days of shogun! Is this game going to be like that, only set during WW2? It looks promising and I am tempted to start the steam DL.....

Opinions?

Here is a trailer.....

It's more like TOAW on steroids. I picked it up on Steam just hours before release and got HoI 2 for free. I've not played any of the HoI games but do still have TOAW installed and had been looking for what I call "a tabletop, turn-based wargame, WWII style" and this looks to be as close as I can get in the contemporary game market.

That being said, it looks to be one of the most complex games I've owned. It's gonna take some time to learn and be successful playing it. But what else do I have to do? I've got nuthin

Check the Strategy subforum, there's a small thread there about it.

I heard HoI3 was crap. Full of historical inaccuracy. You should probably check out HoI2 tho. Might be worth the try.

And by inaccuracy, i mean things like Mexico invading Germany.

I DL'd the demo, and so far, its pretty damn fun! Its a slow game though, and you can't control your armies on the battlefield like Empire: Total War. You can tell them to move places, and they go there. You get a huge control over the entire government, military, spy agencies, and most anything you can think of. The game moves in hourly increments, but you can speed it up. All in all, I'm thinking of getting it.

As far as I know, it's not meant to have total accuracy. The devs have said as much several times in their forums.

Hearts of Iron II made me mad to the point of where I don't think I will ever play it again. I decided to make the United States a tyrannical world-conquering power because, lets be honest, who wants to play the game the exact way WWII happened? I had this game going on for weeks. All of South America , a large section of Africa, and the majority of Eastern Europe was under my control when Germany finally surrendered. The game then forces me to succeed every territory I had taken in Europe back to their respective countries with no option to do otherwise. My armies that I had meticulously organized were split up and throw into imaginary la-la land and all the territory I had fought so hard for is just given away. Thanks for wasting all of my time. I don't understand game developers.

That's like saying Empire: Total War is crap because it's possible to win the Revolutionary War as the British.
