It would have been much funnier and a lot more realistic if you had added the expense of the government contracted engineers who designed the pogo sticks, the cost of leasing the bull, the amount Obama was charging per jump to sponsor the event, the cost of having the secret service monitor the event, the money the city had to pay to clean up all the trash left, the insurance premiums that the administration offloaded to the city so they wouldn't have to pay it, the cost of the television network to cover the event and tallied it all up at the end on the income screen and had it show a loss rather than a profit. Then you could have all the upgrades equate to greater expenditures and have the country more in debt than when you started the game. Now that would be a great idea!
Reviews for "Politricks"
game was pretty good overall. only thing id like to complain about is maybe make it longer, this was too easy.
sall 'right
I like how people are whining to keep politics out of Newground but will STILL throw in their two cents about what Obama is doing wrong. If a game came out with Bush running around beating aliens with a concussed chicken to save the U.S. spewing stupid one liners i'd play it if it were as entertaining as politiricks. Politics needs to stay out of the reviews. Good game but yeah get's a little too easy. Now go forth beplayed and make the aforementioned dubya game. I will wait patiently.
I didn't get any lag and this seemed like a solid game with awesome conceptually but has problems in the mechanics/execution. Some points that have already been made like $1,000,000 debt makes the game too short after getting all the upgrades (more upgrades would have been nice) and not enough options like change quality to help the people that do get lag. For those of you that do, maybe turning off the music and sound might help. For all the people hating on it for political reasons you're all fking idiots. This game is pretty tongue in cheek and can be easily interpreted as for (got out of the debt, saved the US economy) or against (poli"trick", flip flopping, paying off protesters to be supporters, printing money/making more money appear, manipulating the stock market, the debt only being $1,000,000, the ridiculous jet pack amid financial references lol, etc.) Obama, the nature of the ambiguity probably being it's a GAME AND NOT A POLITICAL MESSAGE. Unless the author's main purpose was indeed to relay a political message. Then I guess forget everything i said.
