The Political Machine™
Lead the race for the Oval Office as campaign manager for a U.S. presidential nominee. Featuring today's most controversial issues, this game takes you inside the political process in your bid for the hearts and minds of American voters.
Game Features:
Write your ticket to power: From Bush or Kerry to Schwarzenegger or Reagan, pick your candidate from today's leading political figures or influential presidents of the past.
Tackle hot-button issues: Walk a political tightrope in all states on heated topics such as the war in Iraq, tax cuts, the fight against terror, and abortion rights.
Survive the media frenzy: Launch smear campaigns or defend your credibility on TV news shows such as Barry King Live and The O'Maley Factor.
Build your political warchest: Solicit endorsements from interest groups across the political spectrum.
教科书上著名的“驴象之争”你也可以亲身体会。
你如何赢取各州的支持？你的新政能否得到信任？
当然你可以下载DEMO，来试玩一下，你可以John Kerry or George W. Bush来参与。
The demo lets you play either John Kerry or George W. Bush in two modes: Campaign Play or Quick Play. Campaign Play initiates a series of 10 matchups against prominent potential candidates from the other party. Quick Play instantly starts a race between Kerry and Bush. Although advertising and stump speeches offer no room for nuance, budget choices (such as spin doctors and smear merchants) combined with reactions to poll results make for deep strategy. Besides the gameplay limitations listed above, the demo campaigns only last 12 weeks, instead of 41 in the full version. We also found one annoying bug: The Polls button at the top left of the interface skips forward to Election Day, ending your game. Strategy fans and aspiring power brokers should enjoy The Political Machine.
