Hm, the reviewer begins his review by admitting he's not a great fan of computer games and that he except for one genre almost never play them. The exception, according to the reviewer, is a submarine SIM :confused: :D

Basically, he explains how he's not very good at it, how he keeps messing everything up, that declaring war upon England or Germany as Sweden during WW1 wasn't a very good idea, and that he in general didn't find it very funny playing Victoria without "constructive, if egoistic ambitions". However, he thinks that it lasts longer than a historybook for about the same price.

Sounds like a well-written review...not!

Actually there was a review the other day in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. It got 6 out of 6 (!) and the reviewer stated that the game was "like a history teacher on speed" :rofl:
Also, he said that anyone who had the slightest interest in history should buy the game. He also mentioned the probs with the game in 1.01, but he knew about the Paradox habit of making lots of patches so he claimed that the game would be even better within a few months.
A good review, but he might have been a tad too enthuasiastic...
