Call to Power 2

Tom's Review: This cold, lifeless, tedious game plays like it was assembled by robots. Or maybe a focus group. It hits a bulleted list of features with all the passion of Dick Cheney reading the phone book. It doesn't do much to improve on the original Call to Power and indeed repeats many of that game's mistakes. If turn-based gaming dies, it will be because this is what people pick off the shelves while games like Shadow Watch, Rising Sun, and Space Empires IV languish unbought and overlooked.
