Why does "Mr. President" look like a chimp? Racism aside, it looks like somebody took the Bush-Faces and just re-colored them. Also what's this country-esque music and the bull? The message seems to be that 'Mr. President' would be quiet okay if he would just run for this bull's party (whoever that might be, in this oh so subtle world) - and who buy their supporters anyway? I'm confused as to what to think of this from a political point of view. So i will skip that and just rate the game: Lame, 2 stars.

There's no evidence this game was made by a pseudo-conservative- and there's similarly no evidence that it wasn't. What we have here is the possibility for some irreverent humor that ultimately fails to deliver. Launch games are usually a little fun, but it doesn't get anywhere, lacking gameplay depth and replayability.

Fun time waster. Needs to be longer though. Maybe make a sequel without political connotations to avoid all the people who can't take a joke :P

I love launch games, but this is no fun at all. Complete lack of control, no physics-altering upgrades and lag far beyond what's expected due to the graphics or physics involved (probably from sloppy coding) ruin this for me. After all advancements in the genre over the past years you bring us this? Thanks!

I was expecting some political comedy here, but there really isn't any. There is no witty humor or social commentary. It's just any other launch game with the President instead of a penguin/hedgehog/turtle. And it's not as good as any of those either because it lacks the depth that those games have. It can easily be completed in less than half an hour and even then it's just not as fun to play as some other launch games. It's not a bad game, but we have come to expect more from launch games than this. 3/5 Wait, the national debt is a million dollars? That's not so bad... Actually, that's probably the best we've had it. And second of all, do you think that rocket pogo-stick is the reason we're a million(?) dollars in debt?

I too am feeling short changed. Don't get me wrong, the game is 'ok' but I was hoping for some kind of satire or something like oiligarch where it was making a point about the current economy or state of the world. Perhaps its timing as being around the election time is just out? Hell I'm even British and don't care that much who the yanks elect. Its all gone downhill since you declared war on us and sued for independence!

So, when we stop spending money buying supporters and more efficient systems the national debt comes down to what we're actually collecting?

it's between a morman and a black guy... for 95% of America that is just like alien vs. predator we don't want any of them
