As I've said, its not a game for the average player, which is what every comany in existenance is going for. MoO2 has great aspects but once again, is massively different from MoO3. Believe me, MoO2, is by far one of my favorite games, but it just can't offer anywhere near the samethings as MoO3 can. They're different, so you play them both to get different things. MoO2 provides short and sweet games, MoO3 provides games that can last, god, literally months. Any hardcore gamer knows that reviews mean diddly squat, people are paid all the time, many reviewers have personal vendettas against certain companies and developers, and others just will just rate games on what they think will get a better response from the community so they sell more. Reviews, in short, are almost complete total crap. Believe me, many are just fine and dandy, but play the games before you rate them yourselves. Learn what genres and types you like, learn what a reviewer likes and find one that agrees with your interests and follow them, THAT'S how one should use reviews, never listen to a review where you don't know the authors attitude toward different genres. I for instance, instantly hate all RPGS except for Elder Scrolls and WoW(which I still have a slight hatred for).

So, when it comes to true blue hardcore TBS players, the people that love getting down to the details at playing a game for hours upon hours at a time, for weeks in a row, games like MoO3 and Superpower 2 are paradises. Superpower 2 is actually an RTS, but it plays a lot like a TBS. You will find a handlefull of people who like the game, I love it, same goes with MoO3. Some people just can't handled a truely detailed well done game. The ones where it will take you 4-12 hours of play just to get past the steep learning curve and become a good n00b at the game.
