I have been playing this game going on 4 years, and loved it. I must admit, at first the game is a little daunting. First of all, the main campaign is simply unlike anything you have ever experienced. It is so massive it is unbelievable. The first time I loaded it up I looked around, then immediately shut it off and took a deep breath. However the learning curve is not horrible. you can start with small scenarios, like the marianas, or guadalcanal, and the tutorial is also quite good. Moreover, more complicated concepts, like fiddlingg with the japanese industry, are completely optional. When I started my campaign 3 years ago (I am now in end June 1943), I almost did not touch my Jap industry for the first 6 months. Afterwards, I slowly began to get the hang of it, and by now my industry is pretty much custom built to my needs. This game's learning curve is surprisingly easy actually, considering you'll be playing the same game-possibly vs the same guy!- for something like 5 years![:D]
