Vast amounts of data flow through the complex management system in this world domination game. Can you can master the strategy and keep an eye on your subordinates? This is the ultimate challenge of epic proportions for people with entirely too much time on their hands. Or perpetually sleepless. [Aug 2008]

Supreme Ruler 2020 is a big step on from what has gone before in the series. It doesn’t stand head and shoulders above the pack, but it certainly rubs shoulders with the big boys and doesn’t come off looking cheap and a little embarrassed. It makes the job of being a psychopathic dictator just that little bit more fun.

Supreme Ruler 2020 is designed for a very specific kind of gamer. As it is, it will take hardcore fans a good couple of hours to finally start to feel like they're in control of what's happening to them in this game.

All in all Supreme Ruler is a solid game.

Supreme Ruler 2020 is as deep and complex as they come, albeit incredibly intimidating.

Personally for me, the learning curve is a bit steep and the commitment too large. But that’s me – this is a great game, polished and well worked. If you have the time and the inclination the rewards on offer are great, and it’s highly unlikely to become a repetitive experience.

With patience and perseverance there's plenty of reward. [Oct 2008, p.72]

With nothing in the encyclopedic manual or pithy tutorial that actually explains how to game this highfalutin data cube, Supreme Ruler 2020 tends to play like smashing into a wall: break something, fall back wincing, and repeat.

Not smart or sleek enough to shine. [Sept 2008, p.90]

Too hardcore for casual gamers, but strategists should add two to the score. [Issue#9, p.56]

The biggest problem with this game is that there is simply way too much crap in it.

You'll need a great deal of patience to have fun with this one, though. [Sept 2008, p.73]

GameShark
As it stands Supreme Ruler 2020 is mostly a system in search of a game, with no sense of mission or urgency to push you from day to day. Whatever rewards it has are doled out too sparingly for most gamers, even serious strategy nerds.

GameSpot
Supreme Ruler 2020's steep learning curve and micromanagement will turn off all but the most fanatical strategy gamers.
