I've been playing this game non-stop for the past few weeks and its the best PC game I've played in a LONG time!
The Political Machine 2008 is a PC strategy game in which players run for President. Players choose the scenario they want to play in (USA 2008, USA 1860, "Europa", and Drengi), choose a candidate (or make one) and then do what needs to be done to rack up the electoral votes on election day.
The game includes a campaign mode in which players go up against increasingly more difficult computer controlled opponents as well as Internet multiplayer in which players can play others online.
The 4 scenarios that the sand box mode (quick play) includes are:
1) Campaign 2008. The United States as of 2008.
2) The US Civil War. A what-if of the 1860 election if the US operated on a
2-party system.
3) Europa. Europe as seen by a typical American high school student (humor).
4) Drengi. Run for leader of the Drengin Empire (the evil aliens from Galactic Civilizations).
We recommend playing the quick play with one of the 4 scenarios for review purposes as it is the most common way people will be playing the game.
The data for Campaign 2008 is based on real-world information such as census data, exit polling information, and a variety of other sources that when combined, give us a pretty clear picture of what the current issues are and the position of different politicians.
Players must use their limited resources to build campaign headquarters, give speeches, travel the country, take out advertisements, hire political operatives, win endorsements, raise money, and more.
The Political Machine is most definitely a strategy game, not a simulation. We have tried to make it reasonably realistic for the Campaign 2008 and the US Civil War scenarios, while the other two scenarios are there for fun.
Players can face off against either computer-controlled opponents, or humans over the Internet via the included matchmaking service. Best of all, the Political Machine 2008 retails for only $19.95, less than half the price of a typical new PC game.
