If there is a game that is certainly
worth talking about, it is Europa Universalis II. Most people were
surprised to see this game released so quickly, especially taking
into account that the original game was only released a few months
before hand. That being said, for those that loved the original, this
is going to blow them away. The graphics are higher quality, the
story line much better, yet the game is much easier to understand as
well, so in all aspects, this is much better than before.
Of course, it is the depth of the game
that really helps people to get involved with this game. Many games
that are simple to understand will also be simple when it comes to
the game play. This means that within a few hours of game play,
players can feel like they have done everything there is to do and
therefore the game gets boring. With around 700 territories and 60
nations, there is little chance of a new player getting bored
quickly!
