Hearts of Iron II comes with a completely re-worked interface, 19 battle scenarios, 14,000 leaders and generals and the co-operative multiplayer feature adds a new dimension to the game play. The in-depth manual and tutorial will ease new players into the game.
Hearts of Iron received international acclaim from the European and North American gaming communities, including the 'Essential Game' Award from PC ZONE in the UK. The franchise has been surrounded by controversy as both games have been banned by China's Ministry of Culture for allegedly "distorting history and damaging China's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
