Has anyone played Superpower 2?
Is it any good? I have Superpower and quite enjoy it but I do find it annoying at times. But is it better than the original?

Ooh, another Superpower player. I don't have the second one yet, but from what I understand, SP2 looks like a huge step above. IE, they took the money from SP1 and hired some more programmers. I know the map is now a zoomable 3D globe, for example, and you can do things like ban specific political parties or religions.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

Its actually out?
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

First game had highly broken combat and combat AI. /highly/ broken. Was cool up until you actually threw the first punch, after that it was awful. I've got high hopes for Superpower 2, but no broadband, so no 170-meg demo for me.
