February 28, 2012By SmileyfaxVerified PurchaseI have been a fan of the Hearts of Iron games for several years now, having owned Hearts of Iron 1, Hearts of Iron 2 and its expansions, and the Arsenal of Democracy spin-off, and I'm confident to say that Darkest Hour is my favorite incarnation of HoI2 so far.For those unfamiliar with the series, the game is a grand strategy game set before and during World War II, letting you take full control of a country's economic, diplomatic, and militaristic aspects. You're able to play as any nation, from big players like the United States or Germany, minor powers like Canada or Italy (haha), and even practical non-entities like Tannu Tuva and Guatemala.Darkest Hour brings to the table many improvements over the original game and the first spinoff, Arsenal of Democracy. The main new point of interest is a 'Decisions' system (borrowed from Hearts of Iron 3), in which you can choose when (or even whether or not) to enact events for your country, both historical and ahistorical. (There are also generic events that give modest bonuses to modifiers such as research speed and transport capacity in exchange for money). Other improvements include additions to the research, diplomacy, and intelligence portions of the game, allowing more robust play in those fields.The game also has a much-improved AI. In earlier versions of HoI2, I found the game rather easy once I mastered the fundamentals -- rare would be the case where I took more than a few months to thoroughly beat an AI country in a war. However, I've had to forfeit numerous games due to the AI improvements within the game. I don't say that as a negative -- I actually love this new level of challenge! It gives me more to aspire to, and whenever I do kick the game's butt, it's all the more sweet.

You cant get much more bang for your buck here.Comment | Was this review helpful to you?YesNo3 of 3 people found the following review helpful5.0 out of 5 stars Get it for the mods December 4, 2012By XenophonVerified PurchaseDarkest hour by itself, now that it has had three major patches, is a great game, if you like in depth WW2 Strategy. But it gets better because of the wonderful variety of mods available. You are really getting four or five games for the price of one.Highly recommended.Comment | Was this review helpful to you?YesNo3 of 3 people found the following review helpful5.0 out of 5 stars Hearts of Iron May 17, 2012By Richard kestersonVerified PurchaseOrdered this for my grandson and he enjoys the game and learning countries throughout the world -somewhat educational and the download feature worked great.Comment | Was this review helpful to you?YesNo7 of 9 people found the following review helpful5.0 out of 5 stars Great WWII Game November 20, 2011By MWGRADThis is by far the best WWII Strategy game I haved played yet.Far better than HOI III IMHO.However, This game is VERY IN DEPTH.Be prepared to read the massive manual and take the time to learn.The game covers the entire global and his highly mod-able.And regards to Patches and Support, Just go to Paradox.I'm not sure why people would expect Amazon to provide such support.Comment | Was this review helpful to you?YesNo2 of 2 people found the following review helpful4.0 out of 5 stars Older, but still fun Grand-Strategy game April 28, 2013By electroduckVerified PurchaseWhile Hearts of Iron: Darkest Hour may not be as new and snazzy as Hearts of Iron III, it is still a really fun Grand Strategy game and a good addition to your game library if you like the other games in the Hearts of Iron series. One thing that really makes this game great is the ability to play all the way from 1914 to 1963, unlike the other Hearts of Iron games which only go from 1936-1948. Also, there is a really great ahistorical mod called 'Kaiserreich' that explores what WWII would look like if Germany one WWI.Comment | Was this review helpful to you?YesNo› See all 19 customer reviews (newest first)Write a customer review Ad FeedbackMost Recent Customer Reviews5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing effort in the WW2 genreNot sure where to start on how much of an enjoyment this game is.
