    The organization of the immense database allows both novices and experts to equally enjoy the challenge.

    Events unfold inexplicably, unrealistically, and almost arbitrarily. [June 2002, p.69]

    A key problem may simply be that the international system is too hard to replicate under its current condition of relative anarchy.

    With the bugs fixed and the gameplay tweaked and polished, Superpower could be pretty decent. At the moment, it's disappointing.

    Unrealistic---battle scenes are on a graphic equivelant with my first Atari game--control over conquered countries is very limited---an attack on any city in the world can be launched from any other city in the world, never mind that in real life an army in Beijing can't just fly to Los Angeles for a battle. The unrealism makes this game a waste of time.… Full Review »
