 Excellent game on par with Paradox, 2007-04-23
You need a somewhat modern system with a video card that supports Pixel Shader 2.0 to play this game. If you don't you will be disappointed.
The game itself is incredible and blows away it's predecessor EU2. The new 3d graphics are nice and the interface is quite easy to grasp. Of course this being a Paradox game there are bugs, but with their user feedback forum and participation of the dev staff in said forum, patches have been released fixing many of the issues.
If you liked EU2, Victoria, or HOI...you will LOVE this game

Just wait on buying this game, 2007-04-09
This game is a slightly improved version of EU2. However the best part of EU2 was the user created mod packs (such as EEP and AGC which could be downloaded at the paradox forums). As these mod packs take quite a few months to take shape and EU3 is still pretty new, I would suggest any prospective buyer to wait until a year or so after the initial release to really be able to enjoy this game fully. Otherwise as the game stands it is only good for 2 or 3 lost weekends.

 Very buggy, 2007-04-08
Horrible game, even after the patch. I had it crash 8 times in the first 24 hours and just gave up on it.

Where is the history?, 2007-03-31
This loaded reasonably well and I don't care about the graphics or music, so I don't have anything to say about its presentation. (EU2 had nice medieval music though). However, gameplay is markedly different. I loved EU2 for the history--playing as Castile you can expect the formation of Spain, the Reconquista, Charles V controlling the Netherlands and Austria (half the fun was suppressing the Protestant Dutch revolts). This is all gone--now I'll never see myself as the Holy Roman Emperor (because Austria wouldn't even be my ally). Being a pacifist, I haven't conquered Grenada yet. I own half of North America but my neighboring Aragon wouldn't be my vassal. Fantasy is good but not as fun as "real" history.
Why play this (without the expected historical ups and downs) instead of Civ 4?

 Old Paradox Veteran, 2007-03-16
I own almost all of Paradox's games from EU1 to Victoria: Revolutions and I've enjoyed every single one of them. As someone who values historical accuracy, good gameplay, replayability and in-depth strategy, I would highly recommend this game to all like-minded individuals. A previous reviewer used World of Warcraft as some sort of industry bar with which to compare all computer games, even ones of so different a genre. If you value looks over quality of gaming experience, I suggest console gaming. To the more discerning individual however, the intricacies of dynastic politics, the trials of leading a nation through 350 years of history and the excitement of altering the course of human events offered by this game are sure to please. Otherwise there is really no point in purchasing this game. I would suggest a stroll down Broadway if all you want is a pretty light show, it would be much less taxing on your obviously overtaxed mind. EU3 is a bit of a system hog compared to its predecessors, but I can run it on my midrange laptop so, if you cannot run this game I suggest upgrading your hardware.
