  Hearts of Iron 2: Preview -- Strategy Informer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The sequel to Hearts of Iron, Paradox's World War 2 grand strategy title, seems to remedy most of the mistakes of its predecessor, which was mostly a variation of the Europa Universalis engine, its complexity being one of the major downsides of the game.
Hearts of Iron 2 seems to have learned a bit from its predecessor’s errors, now scenarios being much more open-ended than before, though some scripted actions will take place.
Shipping early next year, Hearts of Iron 2 still has to make some improvements, but it is most likely to bring satisfaction to hardcore strategy gamers, and with a bit of luck, could make other gamers take a peek at it too.

Hearts of Iron II Hearts of Iron II is the anticipated sequel to the award winning Hearts of Iron from Paradox Entertainment.
Hearts of Iron II continues the tradition of allowing players a variety of playable countries, more than 70 different counties, however to truly enjoy the full capabilities of the game, I highly recommend choosing one of the major military powers of the era: Germany, Russia, Great Britain, Japan, or the United States of America.
