Customer Reviews
to be the President
I bought this game thinking
I'm great at strategy/tycoon games so I'll run the country. This game
really makes you think. Little changes in policy can greatly effect how
the country runs and how voters think of you. To put it mildly, it
really made appreciate what responsibility an actual President really
has. If you love strategy and tycoon games, try this one.
Meh...
This game can be addicting,
but the total "fun" factor is probably a 4 out of 10. Once you get into
it, it is really interesting to balance the needs of your citizens as
well as trying to deal with national emergencies. It seems from the
times that I have played it that being "middle of the road" gets you
nowhere, basically if you try to appease both the right and the left,
both the motorists and the environmentalists, both sides will not like
you enough to vote for you. On a positive note I want to say that it
portrays an interesting view of the United States political system, and
the challenges that the President, whether it be Obama or any other
President has to face. People who like political science or who are
studying it will like it for that, but if you are not interested in
politics you should pass.
Good but low
replay
This game is wonderful at
teaching what really goes on in politics but there is little to no
replayability (unless you want to be bored out of your gourd after the
2nd or 3rd time around). I understand now why it only cost me a dollar.
After the first game, everything was basically the same. THe game allows
for no creativity or change.
