Computer Game Review | 87/84/60[2] |
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "Looking at the mind-boggling array of charts and graphs in the game will provide some answers, but when all is said and done, making those decisions is up to you, and that's where the real fun in this economic simulation lies."[1] Noting the game's steep learning curve, Computer Game Review concluded, "Strategy gamers should get a charge from it, others might get shocked."[2]
