Product Description:
Hearts Of Iron 2: Doomsday leads you into the aftermath of a brutal, never-ending conflict. As the German war machine falls, two great nations rise to claim power: The United States in the West, the Soviet Union in the East. As both nations attempt to claim superiority, a new war is waiting around the corner -- this conflict will decide who becomes the remaining superpower.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday is an intriguing real-time strategy game for the PC that begs some interesting "what if" questions related to World War II. Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday includes all the campaigns from the original Hearts of Iron II that take place in 1936, 1939, 1941, and 1944, as well as a new mission that continues the battle in 1953. The world of Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday is both familiar and strange, with events that often come to drastically different conclusions than they did historically.

This game is reminiscent of the classic WWII board game, Axis and Allies. View larger.

This version of Hearts of Iron II also includes updates and expansions requested by gamers, with technology, units, and abilities being added for each side to make for a balanced gameplay. What is also intriguing is the ability to resolve the entire conflict through diplomatic means rather than by force -- a trait that sets this game apart from most WWII strategy games. Players can trade weapons and secrets with allies to strengthen themselves as well as their alliances.

This game is reminiscent of the classic WWII board game, Axis and Allies, but has the additional advantages of the computer platform -- more complexity, and real-time gameplay -- that keeps the action non-stop. One particularly unique aspect of Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday is your ability to play from more than just the traditional "big boys", such as the US, UK, Russia, Italy, Japan and Germany; in fact, you can play as any one of 175 countries. You also have the option of which year to start and what specific missions to try, which is especially important as the only way out, other than by winning, is by surrendering.

It's also important to choose which technological path to take, rather than simply assigning certain strengths based on your choice of side or nation. Technology is broken down into different categories, such as Air Doctrine, Land Doctrine, Armor and Naval units, as well as the classic and sometimes all-important Secret Weapon programs. In order to make technological progress, you'll need to assign teams to work on specific projects, many of them based on real historical programs. Each team has different sets of skills that allow them to work on different projects, while each project focuses on a different field. The expanded technological tree in Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday even allows you to develop nuclear weapons. Another important factor in this game is diplomacy, in which your choice of allies can say as much about you as who your foes are. The all new diplomatic options and intelligence system lets you steal and sabotage equipment, control mass media, start riots, and even assassinate ministers and leaders.

- The Best RTS Ever
All WW2 armchair strategists must own this game. Even after years of playing, the game never repeats itself. It doesnt have the eye candy but it is 100% RTS.

- Long
This is a rather poor simulation, and is way too long (even at the fastest speed). I would like to see a more realistic version of this game with even more options, but with a more user friendly interface. There are too many unanswered questions which could have been solved by a built in manual or interactive pop-up info activated by a right click or etc...

- Best Strategy game ever
All they could do to improve this game is even more details. They also improved it from HOI to HOI II to Doomsday, I did em all. It takes a little while to learn the interface, but it's very ez after that. I was dissapointed at not being able to play my gaming buddy online, then I would have still been playing this game every day after 3 years, as is I still play it. If they could make this game go into squad level if u select a battle each game month and then fight it out personally if both side ... Read More

- The Best Strategy Game Ever
So may want to debate the title of this review but in terms of requiring you to consider EVERY aspect of running a nation in war, there is no other game even close to this one. Scroll down to the bottom if you just want a brief summary.

In Hearts of Iron, which came out back in 2002 or 2003, there was a game that was excellent but still lacked alot of things and the technology development was just so clustered. HOI 2 improved upon that. HOI Doomsday adds even more. I have not played ... Read More

- Thinking Mans WW2 Game!
If you want to just shot up men and tanks look elswere.But if you want to fight the war using political and economic planing this is it..

I have been playing this game now for about 2 weeks and there is so much to this for the player willing to put time into it.The reason

I only gave it 4 stars is because you really have to sit down and think before you fight and its is not for everyone.But the games forum is a lot of help.

So if you like this sort of game be prepared ... Read More
