THE POLITICAL MACHINE 2012


Description:
The path to the White House!
Do you have what it takes to be President?
Play as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, or create your own candidate from scratch. Follow the campaign against a computer controlled opponent or a human opponent via the Internet.
Your goal: win the hearts and minds of American voters to archieve victory in the 2012 presidential election.
The 2012 version includes new features and political issues updated throughout the United States. Issues such as Afghanistan, the economy, Obamacare, income disparity, gay rights and national debt were included in the database of the electoral game. Regional issues, such as the "right to work", state minimum wage, local environmental policies, agricultural subsidies, and more will require the candidate to walk a tightrope between appealing to the largest possible number of voters and appear as a "two-faces".

Still, The Political Machine does a good job of including almost all the major movers and shakers of the contemporary political scene as playable characters, but it’s regrettable that there’s no option to pull a Ross Perot and run as an Independent. The candidates themselves take the form of the same ever-grinning bobble-head figures from previous games, and their design manages to walk a fine line that inspires laughter without offending either side. Players of a Democratic bent will smirk at the oh-so-serious mug of Al Gore (complete with a pitiful charisma rating), and Republicans might enjoy boosting Donald Trump's famed toupee all the way to the nation's highest office.
