SuperPower (Jewel Case)

Rating:
Summary: Promise, but too many bugs
Review: After 6 patches it still doesn't work. This had the potential to be a great modern strategy game for domination of the world (nothing more fun to play for), but even when you get it running the multiple in-game bugs make it frustratingly unplayable. I think Dreamcatcher knows it, which is why they are bringing out Superpower 2. Wait for that one, but hold off until it's working. Is the pressure to get to market that tough that they release these things without testing them?

Summary: Good potential
Review: 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.
