Product Description:
The Political Machine 2008 puts players in control of the 2008 presidential campaign. Play as the campaign manager for a host of candidates including Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, historical candidates or design one from scratch. Players then choose their campaign battlegrounds and are off on the campaign trail to face a host of challenges including fundraising, talk show appearances, hiring spin doctors and winning endorsements. The game is won on Election Day by the player who gets the necessary electoral votes to become President. The Political Machine is both a single and a multiplayer game - players can either compete against the computer or against others online.

The Political Machine is a strategy game that takes the real world mechanics of political campaigning and uses it to create an award-winning strategy game. Raise money, hire spin-doctors, win the endorsements of important groups, go on TV interviews, take out ads, fight off smear merchants and much more in your quest to win the 270 electoral votes you need to get into the white house.
Your opponents can be controlled either by human players over the Internet or by a diabolical computer AI designed by Stardock's renowned artificial intelligence team. With multiple maps and scenarios to choose from, a candidate editor and much more, The Poliltical Machine is not just a timely bit of fun during the campaign season but a strategy game that will stand the test of time.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Loved it!
This is my first time purchasing a title from this series, and I have to say that I loved it! If you enjoy politics, you will love this game!

Can you get your favorite candidate (even if they did not make the general election) win the presidency? I will not say that it is an overly hard game if you are familiar with politics and you are willing to read the instruction booklet, but it is extremely fun, and the difficulty settings will let you make it as hard or easy as you like.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Easily forgettable
I had played the original game from 2004, and so I felt obligated to try this one out.

Firstly, maybe they thought this was a good idea, but now instead of cartoon characters of the presidential candidates, they're replaced with what can only generously be called caricature 'likeness' bobble-heads that look virtually nothing like who they're supposed to be.

Off to go campaigning, you realize absolutely nothing has changed from the original's game engine. The only new additions ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Political Machine 2008 - Decent Strategy Title
Much like the earlier Political Machine title, the 2008 is a tongue-in-cheek interpretation of political campaigning. Updated for the 2008 race with cartoony mini avatars of Sens. McCain, Obama, Clinton and other major primary candidates, the game is a decent strategy title but lacks the depth needed to keep you playing past your bedtime. Production was rushed to get the title on shelves during the election season, and that is apparent in the many misspellings and grammatical errors. Graphics are good ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for CNN junkies but slapped together at the last minute

As a fan of the political game genre going back to the Doonsbury election simulator of the mid-90s I've been excited to try a new one every four years and the experience always feels fairly fresh by that time. Over the last two months I've gotten a lot of replay value out of this one and there are still goals I'm setting for myself (winning is one thing, sweeping all 50 states is another.) The game has a nice range of candidates - from frontrunners like Obama, McCain, Hillary and Romney, to also rans ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best game of its kind out there--excellent UI, graphics and features
I bought this game and fully expected it to be like other political turn-based games: weak, unexciting, unchallenging. Boy, I was wrong.

You get to creae a candidate, their looks, their clothes. Then , you choose which of 20 characteristics they are strong in: charisma, experience, looks,etc. You can play alone or aginst friends. Each candidate participates in a week by week turn-based campaign of 41 weeks.

Each turn, a candidate can do 1 or more of the following in each state:
