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

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

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

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

    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.

    Unrealistic---battle scenes are on a graphic equivelant with my first Atari game--control over conquered countries is very limited---an 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.
