One of my favorite strategy series is back and getting pretty good feedback from the review community. Europa Universalis has been rated as 8.7 by Gamespot saying that "It's as deep and broad as you would expect from such a big strategy game, but Europa Universalis III's most notable achievement is how easy it is to get into--and how difficult it is to tear yourself away." One of the hallmarks of the Civilization series is its uncanny ability to grab players and urge him on to play till the wee hours of the morning, Europa Universalis III seems to have the same quality. IGN also gave the game a high 8.5 score saying ". It doesn't have the same impact that the original did so many years ago but the improvements definitely add a lot to the experience and make it more convenient for gamers who sometimes grew frustrated with the limitations of the earlier versions.". Here's how other game review sites scored Europa Universalis III



GamePro - 4.5 out of 5
GameZone - 8.5 out of 10
Game Industry News - 4.5 out of 5
Game Vortex - 89 out of 100
