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

    It's an idea that has been tried before and done better.

    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.
  6. Electric Playground

    The game's lack of focus, poor design, and beta-like release state will put it not in the forefront of strategy discussion boards, but rather the back of discount software bins.

    SuperPower's most entertaining feature is this utter detachment from reality - despite its being touted as hyperrealistic. [July 2002, p.82]

The unrealism makes this game a waste of time.… Expand

It might have been fun if the game was actually functional....even with the patches the game is not functional and should have never been released. who ever is responsible for releasing it should be tried and hanged.… Expand
