A final word about the dynamic campaign: it's incredible... This mode could keep some people going for years. [June 2005, p.64]

This game has evolved from admirable statistical sim to full-on addiction. [July 2005, p.57]

The strategy in Supremacy has all the depth of a wading pool. [June 2005, p.65]

An awful and punishing experience... It's not as if adventure games needed another punch to the crotch. [June 2005, p.74]

Brings a generous number of new elements to the Sims 2 core game. But you're forced to focus on the more mundane, tedious aspects of Sim life, and that makes it a bit too hard to enjoy all the cool new stuff. [May 2005, p.68]

And the mundane levels have been stretched out with keycard hunts, mile-high ladders, and endless corridors. [June 2005, p.72]

Flashpoint's fresh subject matter, clever approach, and deep strategies make it worth playing. [May 2005, p.]
