SuperPower 2 Reviews
My anti-virus just recently deleted the game and quarantined the executables. But its still fun to Nuke the world and watch the fallout destroy continents at a time. The gameplay is more fast paced than the original, but also a bit more simplified. It should be stated at the beginning that this is a Northstar protected game, and that Northstar systems do turn Trojan on you. 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. 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.
Has bugs, have to download a patch to get past the cd key. Will not appeal to everyone. This a very interactive sim with a steep learning curve. If you like sims, and you like problem solving (a lot) this is the game for you.
Unless you are absoltuley desparate for this type of game, you shouldn't buy it. However, this game just doesn't deliver. You can get the US to buy 1 piece of your land for trillions of dollars, get people to declare war on Iraq or North Korea just by asking them, and manipulate common markets to make triliions.
I think that its basic premise is very innovative, and I looked forward to a combo of military strategy and economic managment. Bugs ranging from graphical glitches to horribly obvious exploits can be found everywhere. The AI is incredibly stupid. The only redeming feature is the few diehard fans who are still trying to mod this game into what it should have been in the first place.
I really wanted to like this game.
After the patch it was nearly impossible to play. I've also tried playing as many African nations, and it's nearly impossible, their economies are too small and they have huge militaries they can't possibly sustain. Buggy. This game crashed on me every twenty minutes until I got the patch. While the idea is kinda funny to me, it's completely unrealistic and a huge bug. And I don't just mean in the U.S.
Navy's sole ability to project war onto other continents. Also, the oddest thing that happened after the patch was the elections. What is the most absurd to me is this game just doesn't take into account the U.S. All the Navies in the game are capable of sending their warships all around the world and with enough gun ships, they can sink a U.S. They go bankrupt in a few years. Soon the entire world was controlled by the Republican Party. You can take Cuba in a week. But once you get bored having the biggest military, the game's flaws become much harder to ignore.
The only fun part is playing as the US and attacking small countries. You overwhelm them so much it's kinda fun. carrier. The Republican party started winning. Nations would just go rogue and start attacking far away countries.
Too much emphasis on military silliness to sell it to warmongering nerds. Excellent premise but this game is extremely fragile the least memory distraction makes the whole game lock up or shut down, and if you're playing in a LAN, it'll lock up all the computers linked into the game. The designers would have been better advised to counterbalance the economic and political power and actions in the game, which would be a more realistic real-world scenario than the childish overtemptation for invasion and war found in this game.
