« This is the most addictive game I have played in years. »
« There should be more games like this since it marries turn-based strategy and tough decisions into a seamless whole. This is good stuff and worth playing. »
« It is far from an easy game to get into, but once embroiled in the seedy world of crime, the hours tend to drift by surprisingly quickly, and its longevity is assured as it is extremely difficult, even on the easiest of the four computer levels. »
« Chaos Overlords is good for maybe a couple of days play, especially with the novelty of the whole 'gang war' thing, but after that's worn off, it gets boring fairly quickly. It's not as interesting or fun to play as "Syndicate" or "Civilization"; it's just too limited. »
« At its best it can be a blast; how many times do you get to send the Fighting Nuns against the Press Corps in no-holds-barred combat in the streets? But the entire thing seems rather empty. »
« A good idea executed without a trace of wit, energy, or style. About as dull as dishwater. [Sept 1996, p.138] »
