The Race for the White House

It is with some regret that I have to give this game (by a company whose Rulers of Nations I very much enjoyed) a negative review. That comes from three main areas of failure. 1: Not actually a good depiction of US politics. 2: Not very different from Stardock's The Political Machine 2012. 3: Not very customizable. 1: This should not be surprising. Eversim is a French company and has to approach US politics from the not entirely compatible lens of French politics. This is the most visible in the Obamacare options the player can use. Actual US politics is a battle between theories and adherents who don't always (or often) understand the theories of their political tribes. Even so, one's reception of different policies depends on a series of assumptions which are NOT UNIVERSALLY AGREED UPON. In game, Obamacare is seen as purely a good thing for health care (or those voters who care about it). Opponents of it very much dispute that medical care will improve as a result of it. Repub...

Too buggy. I enjoyed most of what I played but it feels very unfinished. Don't get me wrong GAMEPLAY is way more important than graphics but it feels really clunky almost like a chore to play. I would not say it was a waste of money as I'm a huge fan of political sims but I would not recommend this game to anyone who isn't. Hardcore political sim fan? Buy it.. enjoy it for 40 hours. Everyone else - Skip.

Terrible game. Obama's leaning is listed as right of center. 'Nuff said. Deinstalled.

The person who coded this game needs to be sent to a wall and shot. The game has a very obvious bias towards Obama. You can have 66% of the vote in a state and then come election night Obama wins it by 15%. 3/10 game.

While this game is heavily flawed and needs improvement, I still have fun playing as Jonah Sachesunbute and promising to make a moon colony along with legalizing marijuana. 7/10 would play again.

okay game is a bit glitchy on multiplyer but overall it okay hope the glitches get fixed and screw charles and thank you funhaus

So this game isnt a good presidential election game, but the meme value is worth its weight in gold. Funhaus did a playthrough of this game and its exactly how you should play it, so if you want a political simulator, dont buy the game. Its a sand box of, "How would it be to run as the worst person alive, promote cultist level policies, while also running with the third party called "The Whiskey D*ck Party", and actually winning the state of Alabama, because... Alabama. The mechanics are funnier than sh*t and the voice lines are robotic enough to make Cortana think their a Russian agent. If you are looking to buy this game, buy it when it is less money and for the humor value.

I've made several candidates for this game, and unless I join either the Dems or the Reps I can't win a goddamn election on the "Realistic" setting. I'VE GOTTEN CLOSE, but no cigars to be seen. 10/10, I fucking love this goddamn game.

It's a one-time play, not much replay value after that. The strategy aspect is there, but there could have been so much more to the game if they took more time with it PROS: - Strategic, makes you use your brain. - Semi-addicting for first-time players CONS: - Limited interactivity - Repetitive gameplay - Boring cutscenes for rallies. - Feels unfinshed and glitchy, 3.5/10

Made a Trans-Black-Mormon charachter, didn't win. America is so oppressive.
