    Much that was important in a global simulation has been left out; and much that’s included is bug-ridden, inactive, confusing or unbalanced.

    The sandbox play that makes up the bulk of Superpower 2 is alternately tedium and lunacy. [Feb 2005, p.70]

    Far from exciting so even the studious may lose their adoration over time.

    Less a game than a geopolitical simulator of a bizarre, parallel Earth. Try not to hurt yourself while rushing out to the store to pick up your copy.

    Long stretches of boredom punctuated by brief moments of implausibility. [Feb 2005, p.84]

    The much-touted "realism" vanishes entirely once you get to the military phase of the game. [March 2005, p.87]

    The economic 'engine' is great, it is hard to understand fully, but isn't needed to function your economy.
    It is very easy to manage your country, opposed to a game such as Rulers of Nations which has a bad interface, Super Power 2's is much better and organized. Even now (2011) servers go up regularly and there is an active forum, http://www.golemlabs.com/community/index.php.

    You must get the patch 1.4.
