Title: A weak effort
Product review: I was hoping for something like the classic Balance of Power or a strong geopolitical simulation like Hearts of Iron, but this isn't it. Gameplay is weak, with just a number of sliders you move around in some vain attempt to optimize the system. But you aren't given enough information about how the system works in the game or the manuals to make this interesting. It's not that the game is hard -- you can easily get your country in a stable and successful state -- but it's not very interesting. The military parts of the simulation are no better.Even with the latest patches, the game has stability and graphic issues. I also came across several misspellings in dialogs and descriptions, not a serious issue, but it does detract from the overall experience.
