Making History II: The War of the World

This is one game i reccomend to people who like world war 2 strategy games. There is a very hard learning curve at first but once you get used to it the game will keep you playing and planning for diffrent things. Just like the game itself the editor is hard to figure out but once you get the hang of it the editor is really interesting to use. The only real complaint is that if you have a large nation you have to do...

This game is super fun if you like strategy. It is sort of like Axis and Allies only more involved, and yet not as insane as Hearts of Iron. It has a nice balance so that you can jump right in without reading wikis for hours, and yet the strategy is robust enough to keep me hooked.

Okay, so this is going to be a pro/cons review, with a grade at the end. Pros: +The ability to do whatever you want! I once allied Germany with the UK against China... It was a strange play through +A realistic way of managing your nation, especially with colonies and puppets +The great community has guides to explain everything, including annexing vs colonizing +The turn base system, which usually ruins games, was...

This game has been a lot of fun for me. With improved UI and the good kind of simplification(compared to the first one), this game is a must consider for those who love history, military, or strategy. Although the main downside is a not good tutorial and you are thrust into WW2 not knowing sh*t. Also those with no or little patience will most likely not like the game or at least some of the nations (cough) USSR...
