What our customer's say!

"EUIII - Review", Paradox Interactive makes Grand Strategy games. Emphasis on Grand. If you plan on playing a PI game, you'll be playing for days, if not weeks. And EUIII is definitely built from the same mold. If you're familiar with Civilization, then EUIII is a lot like that, only even more unforgiving and complicated. There's about a thousand things happening at once, except very very slowly. It may take you a game or two before you start understand enough of it. It did for me, and I read the manual through first. That said, it's incredibly engaging and allows the player to take a myriad of actions in response to any single action. Even if they have no idea what the outcomes of those actions will be.

"Not fun", I was disappointed with this game. The graphics, while improved, really got in the way of gameplay. Also, the gameplay has changed to the point where I have to go through tedious tutorials to learn how to play. I figured it out, but there's just not engaging like the first two games were. Also, I highly recommend the game Victoria. While I think Paradox is a great game company, nobody's perfect. They have unfortunately fallen short with this one.

"Good game - Awful graphics", One year after buying this game I finally have the opportunity to play it. The reason - I had to wait the prices of computers to go down, in order to buy one that could meet the demands of the game. Conceptually, EU3 is a further development of EU2. Experienced players of EU2 would have no difficulty in jumping into this new game after just half an hour after checking how new concepts (like advisors, national ideas, or reccruitment of regiments) work. Therefore, I give 5 stars for the improved game mechanism !!! On the other hand, visually this game is simply awful ! The charm of EU2 map is totally lost. Taking into account that this is a strategic game (so that it does not need 3D graphics at all), you will spend most of you time (measured in tens of hours) staring into its ugly map. Furthermore, as this 3D map is the only reason that I had to spend 1000 EUR more when buying the appropriate computer, my rating of this aspect of the game is minus infinity. Altogether, I give 2 stars. What could be done ? (a) make another version of EU3 with two-dimensional map of EU2 or, (b) make a new mod for EU2, which would try to simulate through the system of events (as much as it could) new concepts (like court advisors or national ideas).






"Very Addicitve", This game in my opinion is the best earth strategy game that I have encountered since Civilization IV. Game play is very addictive due to the long period of time it takes to accomplish your goals, i.e. colonization, expansion and construction.

In agreement with some of the other comments, I do wish the tech tree moved faster but if you are any good with programming, that is easily changed.

As far as all the other comments about bugs and crashes, I don't have anything to say except that it has run to my surprise flawlessly on my system. I don't know if the problem is perhaps that those who have problems, simply have older systems or operating systems that are inhibiting gameplay. So I'd say be cautious, but if it works for you I hope you enjoy it as I did. I would've given this 5 stars for fun if the gameplay went a little bit faster.

Also I wish the AI's were a little bit more intelligent and could mount a truly good military offensive across multiple fronts. But this has been a problem with almost every strategy game.

All things considered, I would recommend this game.

"FLOP", 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 !!!!

"Just wait on buying this game", This game is a slightly improved version of EU2. However the best part of EU2 was the user created mod packs (such as EEP and AGC which could be downloaded at the paradox forums). As these mod packs take quite a few months to take shape and EU3 is still pretty new, I would suggest any prospective buyer to wait until a year or so after the initial release to really be able to enjoy this game fully. Otherwise as the game stands it is only good for 2 or 3 lost weekends.

"Very buggy", Horrible game, even after the patch. I had it crash 8 times in the first 24 hours and just gave up on it.

"Where is the history?", This loaded reasonably well and I don't care about the graphics or music, so I don't have anything to say about its presentation. (EU2 had nice medieval music though). However, gameplay is markedly different. I loved EU2 for the history--playing as Castile you can expect the formation of Spain, the Reconquista, Charles V controlling the Netherlands and Austria (half the fun was suppressing the Protestant Dutch revolts). This is all gone--now I'll never see myself as the Holy Roman Emperor (because Austria wouldn't even be my ally). Being a pacifist, I haven't conquered Grenada yet. I own half of North America but my neighboring Aragon wouldn't be my vassal. Fantasy is good but not as fun as "real" history.
Why play this (without the expected historical ups and downs) instead of Civ 4?

"Old Paradox Veteran", I own almost all of Paradox's games from EU1 to Victoria: Revolutions and I've enjoyed every single one of them. As someone who values historical accuracy, good gameplay, replayability and in-depth strategy, I would highly recommend this game to all like-minded individuals. A previous reviewer used World of Warcraft as some sort of industry bar with which to compare all computer games, even ones of so different a genre. If you value looks over quality of gaming experience, I suggest console gaming. To the more discerning individual however, the intricacies of dynastic politics, the trials of leading a nation through 350 years of history and the excitement of altering the course of human events offered by this game are sure to please. Otherwise there is really no point in purchasing this game. I would suggest a stroll down Broadway if all you want is a pretty light show, it would be much less taxing on your obviously overtaxed mind. EU3 is a bit of a system hog compared to its predecessors, but I can run it on my midrange laptop so, if you cannot run this game I suggest upgrading your hardware.

"Had potential but missing the addictive factor of its predecessors", I played both of this game's predecessors and in this case 3rd time is definately not the charm.

For starters it takes forever to advance to new technologies and you often fall asleep just trying to wait it out. I know that it takes place between 1453-1789 but hey lets speed things up here now. I recall the
other EU games to be a bit more fast moving due to the addictive factor.

Despite exceeding most of the hardware requirements the music playback is choppy on my PC and it gets more annoying the longer you play.

I hope if they come out with EU4 that they will go back to basics and make the game addictive again. Then EU will be the game it was meant to be.
