Become a campaign manager and join the presidential race…
Gearing up for the US presidential elections, Ubisoft today announced an agreement with Stardock Entertainment to publish The Political Machine on the PC, a strategy title in which players take on the role of campaign manager for a presidential candidate.
Players must raise money, take out advertisements, win endorsements and appear on popular TV shows such as the OâMaley Factor and 60 Seconds to answer tough questions about todayâs most pressing issues â“ although itâs not yet known whether youâll be able to blacklist voters and rig the vote in Florida.
The Political Machine uses actual demographic information to accurately portray the political landscape of the United States, whilst players can design their own candidate or use existing politicians such as George W. Bush and John Kerry to Ronald Reagan and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Offering both single and multiplayer modes, players can compete against the computer or against others online via www.politicalmachine.com.
"The Political Machine is an innovative game that offers a unique, fun way to encourage interest in current events and involvement in the 2004 Presidential Election," said Tony Kee, Vice President of Marketing for Ubisoft. "Read my lips, The Political Machine will get people motivated about elections while allowing them to gain insight into the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing of a modern presidential campaign."
"The Political Machine lets both casual gamers and political junkies get a taste of what U.S. presidential politics is all about," said Brad Wardell, designer of The Political Machine. "Players must deal with real world issues, go on cable TV shows, take out ads and work with political operatives and activists on their road to the White House."
The Political Machine is scheduled for release in late summer 2004.
