Good Sim

This a very interactive sim with a steep learning curve. Has bugs, have to download a patch to get past the cd key. Will not appeal to everyone. If you like sims, and you like problem solving (a lot) this is the game for you.

Fan of Superpower, looking forward to it's sequel

I was a perty big fan of the original Superpower and still play it from time to time despite it's flaws. The major flaw being the bugs which seemed to happen at the worst times. Second, would be graphics, they did do a good job of maps which look even better in 2 from what I've seen and unit availability but not with unit graphics, all things looked alike (Aircraft had one graphic if it were a fighter or a bomber...) but they have fixed that for number 2. Another complaint would be that it was too easy once you get the hang of it as the computer was very simple minded.

The bad aside, I do very much so look forward to Superpower 2 and intend to buy it as soon as it's available. Here's to a better game! (I hope.)

Not Bad

Havn't had much of a chance to get truly into this yet, but it seems pretty interesting.

Combat is lame, and the interface is a bit clumsy, but there seems to be a healthy amount of depth to the sim. The game rewards those who are mindful of their economy, and opportunistic.

Futureshop has it for 29.99 - save your 10 bucks.

Fun for the first week

It should be stated at the beginning that this is a Northstar protected game, and that Northstar systems do turn Trojan on you. My anti-virus just recently deleted the game and quarantined the executables.

The gameplay is more fast paced than the original, but also a bit more simplified. Gone are the days of setting up Coups in 3rd world nations and controlling their puppet governments, not when you successfully stage one the rest of the world starts attacking you, and the country you over took will just start getting invaded by other countries. Usually Italy, China and Turkey. Playing as a 3rd World nation is substantially harder too as the AI now likes to become imperialistic at random intervals, mostly Poland, China and Turkey, making it very hard to keep a stabilized nation anywhere in Africa or Asia. But its still fun to Nuke the world and watch the fallout destroy continents at a time.

hope they have a sequel

old software but heard recently somehow. no more support and hard to get a customer service though.
It's Civilizaion style game but it's more realistic.
you will have a problem with installation but you could find a newer patch some where.
