GAME SUMMARY

The Political Machine 2012

Rating: 3.8 (75 votes cast)

Do you have what it takes to be president?

Play as more than 20 candidates including Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich or create your own candidate from scratch.

Players take to the campaign trail against a computer controlled opponent or a human challenger over the Internet. The goal: win the hearts and minds of America’s voters to achieve victory in the 2012 presidential election.

The Political Machine 2012 features updated political topics from across the United States. Issues such as Afghanistan, the economy, Obamacare, income inequality, gay marriage, and the national debt have been integrated into the game’s election database. Regional issues require the candidate to walk a tight rope between appealing to the widest range of voters and appearing to “flip flop.”

Key Features:

  • Make your run for the White House as a famous politician or create your own.
  • Take a stance on the issues, stretch the truth, or smear your opponents!
  • Travel around the United States in your bid to win electoral votes.
  • Outwit interviewers and win the favor of voters.

The Political Machine 2012 review

Somewhat nice game to play. Can get boring if you don't understand at first but it picks up later on. I guess you can call it a strategy game, although I tend to drift more towards the war games when I think about strategy(RTS) games. I got this as an excuse to play a game to study for my AP Gov finals though.

Moderately fun game, with some challenging aspects. The bobblehead avatars are semi-amusing but quickly get old. It is quite fun for a non-American such as myself to get to understand the American Politics system through this cartoonish and comedic game - I was unaware how much bobblehead design went into American Political Campaigning!

None-the-less, my rating might be relatively low, but I did enjoy this game while I played it. Doesn't have much in the way of replay value, in my opinion, harder difficulties are a bit too much to handle. Multiplayer can be very entertaining with the right opponent(s) and that's "it" so to speak.

Worth a buy if it's on sale.

Quite a bit of fun can be had from this game. It's a nice strategy game with a board game style that's unique to most PC games (at least in recent years). I can't find much bad to say about the game simply due its simplicity, which may itself be a problem. It doesn't go as deep into the strategy as much as it could, but that leaves it with a really good game for the price of a McDonald's meal.

Pretty fun game will definitely kill a few hours. You get to play as one of the former presidents, current presidents, candidates, political powerhouses, or you can just create your own which is quite fun. The art direction is pretty nice and there are certain little things that will keep you entertained for hours.

Great entertainment, with a bit of an old school "board game" feel about it.

Even for non-Americans, this will provide hours for entertainment for anyone with an interest in politics. Also you can make your own candidate - create an evil monster, and use every dirty trick in the book to get him or her into the White House... Good times!!!

Great Game, there is a lack of certain politicians, but otherwise it is really fun. Love the UI easy to learn to use, and customize. I even won my second elecition!
