Good Game, bought for son

December 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

My son chose to be PM of Israel, ran the program through once to get an idea of how it worked. He then ran it through again and made his citizens very happy. At one point he had a 100% popularity rating, even though he was at war with Iran and the economy was tanking a bit. He got through the war, won it and got Iran through a true democratic election and got his own economy back on track. At that point, the Knesset voted him out! I'm not sure why this happened and it was the most frustrating part of the game -- here he was, victorious in war, a new ally in Iran, making great alliances everywhere and raising money by making business deals with other countries instead of taxing the people to death, high approval rating, and he's deposed.

That said, the game is very detailed and illustrates the difficulty in running all aspects of a country, trying to keep relatively balanced budgets, working with allied countries, dealing with enemies and terrorists (he also succeeded in routing a major group of terrorists), and keeping your people happy and employed.

He subsequently chose one of the missions, trying to make Cuba a democracy. I think that lasted about 5 minutes, truly an impossible task, or very difficult at least!

For those interested, the game works with Windows 7 machines; I called the manufacturer before buying it to make sure, since it wasn't clear on the packaging.

I like it

May 2, 2013

I like this game, but i want to love it even more, it is a great game, if you are into politics and running a country. This game came out at the same time as President Obama, went into office with the statement "if you think, you can do a better job than Pres. Obama, here`s your chance". Well that is an understatement with this game, it is true, you will feel the people`s anger if they are unhappy, in other words, it plays out just like real life, there will be natural disasters and country`s may ask for aide, refugee crises, terror attacks, domestic problems, run for reelection, deal with foreign policy, foreign trade and a whole host of other issues, even Afghanistan and Iroc to deal with, if you decide to pull the troops out, you will see them leaving through Turkey, the game is very accurate for 2004, with a huge load of info to check out. (positive and needed info) . The Problem is this game is unstable and CTD (Crash To Desktop) a bit too often for me or freezes up, but i like the game so much, i would reload and try again. Oh and you can get kicked out of office, it is fun, but buggy. Your hair may turn gray, just like the "President". (smile) Thanks

Needs internet connection and TMI

June 19, 2010

I bought three of these to play multiplayer. To activate the game they wanted to much personal information. I searched the internet to find a phone number to contact them, nothing just an email address. Is there a way to get around the internet connection and giving all the personal information? I am sending the games back to Amazon. I will not buy from this company until: 1) they have an easier way to get help (a phone number) 2) the software does not require internet connection to play 3) I can load the software without giving personal information.

good concept, bad execution

December 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

very complex interface and decision options (perhaps too complex), however you cant do much that isnt in line with what the game developers intended or your political party (which you cant choose) wants, and the slightest adjustment, whether it be economic or social, will send your country into irrational frenzy until youre removed from office and the game ends.

if youre looking for a geopolitical game that gives you COMPLETE control (à la superpower 2), dont waste your money on this.

Great concept, poor execution

January 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

This game has the potential to be phenomenal, but the delivery falls far short of the promise. First off, the game barely works on a brand new state-of-the-art computer. The load times are RIDICULOUS and the game is very slow and choppy and freezes constantly. Second, it is apparent that the publisher was more concerned with the release date coinciding with the inauguration than with producing a quality product. There are countless errors in spelling and punctuation throughout (Irak? Respponsible?). Third, the game is hardly as customizable as it seems. I couldn't get very far into the game without the lag making it unbearable, so I'm sure there are other things that I'm leaving out. I desperately wanted this game to live up to its potential, but it did not. In these uncertain economic times, I highly recommend saving your money for something more entertaining - like a pet rock collection.

A very complex game. A wide variety of factors and settings to play with. Only being well versed in the manual can you succeed with ease.

Needs Some Work

Good product however public opinion is bias to the left. It also has several errors, like when you add an event the event names on the creation menu don't match what you actual create, Contracts fold backwards, etc. Overall a very good game.
