Well, I'm not the best to give such in a good way I think, but here you are:

Pros:
*Very deep and interesting(if you like history, of course especially the part from post Napoleon --> WW1)
*All countries in the world playable gives it a huge re-playabilty value
*The best from EU2 and HoI, and some new things

Cons:
*Too much micromanaging for some people(but you can automate a lot)
*No tutorial, so you are on your own to learn the game. If you have played Paradox' games before, you'll probably learn fast, but for a new player, it can be much.

Warning, the IGN review got some factual details outright wrong. I.E. some terrain DOES give bonuses to the defender in battles.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I am very impressed with Victoria. I would recommend it.

I am having a whale of a time at the moment playing as Sardinia-Peidmont. I have united Italy and am colonising the Far East. I am currently at war with China. France, my ally is attacking from the North, while I am attacking from the South. The AI is rather impressive - for example, I have very little navy, so French battleships are escorting my transports in and out of Chinese waters.... very cool stuff.

Yeah, and once 1.02 comes out and fixes stuff like immigration it's going to become even more awesome.

Johan(the lead programmer) just posted a thread today. 1.02 will come next week if everything goes as it should. He mentioned some of the tweaks too.
