Disappointing [Posted on 2001-05-20]
I am a long time fan of Diplomacy and have played by mail, face to face and by e-mail. So when I saw this game in a store one day I bought it on impulse. However it is disappointing. The computer player(s) is not gifted and it is easy to win. Add to this the unwieldy nature of the negotiation phase (often the computer player just walks away when you are talking to it) and I cannot recommend this for anyone other than novices.

Won't replace the standard internet game [Posted on 2001-06-22]
Anything that introduces Diplomacy to the next generation is to be welcomed, but this game is a bit week. I would suggest getting the board game instead and joining in one of the many e-mail games on line. You will enjoy it more without this interface.

Fun [Posted on 2001-09-28]
The game is fun and captures the spirit of the board game, but i often find that i have a hard time telling the computer where i want each piece to move and which pieces are going to support each other. Definantly a good buy if it comes back into stock.

Not worth the money [Posted on 2003-03-10]
I suppose that if you have never played Diplomacy before, this game could be a good tool for learning how to move your armies and navies, how to transport, how to support a force, etc. But that is about it. I have never seen anyone playing this version game online, even though it is available at GameSpy. You are better off playing more traditional versions of the game.

I bought it in the hopes of having some decent solitaire play. If that is what you are hoping for, then forget it. The AI, even at its highest level, will not give you any sort of test. It is just about as idiotic as can be.

Diplomacy is such a great game. It is a shame that its PC version is so incredibly boring and unchallenging.

Great game, poor negotiations [Posted on 2008-01-08]
All I have to add is that the other reviews (especially the Amazon one) is correct. The interface lags horribly, so it misses clicks, the computer doesn't wait around, and sometimes i never even see it's counter-offers before it leaves the negotiating table!

The only redeeming aspect of this game is gunboat style, because it works fine without the negotiation part!
