Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed playing this game, but it just feel too easy in a way. I easily got 100% approval and 100% agenda. I wish the game play was slightly longer where the years take longer to complete. I also don't understand the war. I did every action correctly as well as the diplomacy, yet it was still solved "slowly" I also kinda wished the game allowed us to run for re-election.

A game full of potential but unfortunately falls short. The concept of this game and the actual gameplay are both interesting and fun but I would recommend not bothering. The game takes about 30 mins to complete and gets a little tiresome and repetitive at times. I found it ridiculous after completing the 4 year term that you cannot continue for reelection.

Felt like game lapse!! You can and should play it once! It's lite too, it's short time game with adddictive events at the time we play it! Great experience! I thought i could visit each department any time to discuss or make a speech to improve that sector, selling with passing bills! But still it was great!!! Story line, congress speech, news, etc and all available features are great and really was a unique experience!
