ORIGINAL: fulcrum28 I am very tempted to buy this game for winter holidays or even before if there is some discounts in black Friday, but i wonder if someone has already played this game and also HoI3 or HoI4 and can elaborate a bit a comparison between them? thanks in advance! For all I know it is nothing like HOI at all. I myself only played HOI 1, maybe some hours, and than I never touched it again, wasn't my cup of tea, the UI, speed, and the general appraoch. Not sure if you ever played games like Clash of Steel or Panzer General. Imagine a Panzer General where you can play on until the war ends (on the same map), where you get decision events, where you are allowed to use some diplomatic actions, to research techs, while not having to WORK to play the game. From my point of view you can't make anything wrong if you purchase the game, it is deep, and unbeatable fun in a multiplayer game. If offers probably the hardest AI you can get when it comes to computer wargames. At least some game magazine wrote this, and at least I can confirm that the AI will do its job when it comes to the task to give you some headaches. But the suggestion to watch some youtube game turns, or to read some reviews might be a good first step for you to get an general idea about this game. I'm reader of the german gaming magazin Gamersgobal.de. They do test thoroughly and they gave HOI a 5,5 (out of 10), and SC WW2 a 7,0 (out of 10). I should add that SC would have gotten a better result if the game would have been completely done at the time of the release (some parts of the UI were missing). In the current state it would easely gotten a 7,5 maybe even a 8,0 or more. They wrote all this in their test review. So if you ask ME how it compares to HOI 4, I could answers that SC WW2 is a lot better than HOI 4. But I myself never played HOI 4, so don't listen to me.
