About This Game Democracy 2 is the ultimate political strategy / simulation game. The game simulates the motivations, loyalties and desires of everyone in the country. As president or prime minister, it's your job to balance the need for income from taxes against the demands of the voters. Do you want your country to be an eco-friendly green paradise? Or a capitalist utopia? Will you pander to the patriots, the liberals or the religious pressure groups? Can you keep crime under control without destroying the civil liberties of your citizens? And can you keep good diplomatic relations with other nation states? Despite the complex simulation underneath, Democracy 2 is easy to pick up. An innovative user-interface shows the relationships between everything in the game just by hovering your mouse over an object. The game is 'turn based', so it's the ideal game for those who prefer an intelligent, thoughtful game. The key to the game are the policy 'sliders' that let you adjust how your government runs. You can raise or lower taxes with a slider, or even adjust education policy, or workers rights in exactly the same way. This system makes for a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master. Democracy 2 covers the whole range of political opinion and policy, from debates over stem cell research and school prayer, through the provision of state health care and benefit payments to the unemployed, right across to tax shelters for the wealthy, the death penalty, military spending and civil rights. Regardless of where you stand on political topics, you will have the option to take control of the government and put your ideology to the test. 6d5b4406ea Title: Democracy 2Genre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Positech GamesPublisher:Positech GamesRelease Date: 1 Dec, 2007 Democracy 2 Download No Verification This game is a fun political simulator. Only complaint I can think of is that it encourages you to go to extremes on all the issues and doesn't really encourage moderation (basically, if you're going to anger a certain part of the electorate anyway, then the game doesn't discourage you from going all the way).I've also heard some complaints that this game has a left-wing bias but I don't buy that. You'll get some bad events if you go full-blown socialist to the point of alienating your capitalists.. not bad 6.5\/10. Good, simple political sim. Very enjoyable to play!. Overall 5\/10Pros:- The idea behind it is good, you get to play a government and using different policies you try to get reelected while improving a country.- Some concepts behind it are solid, both in terms of ecomics and social policies.- It is easy to understand what each polciy does.Cons:- It is probably too easy to beat, just a bunch of algorithms to beat.- There's only one way to "win" and that is pretty much going full "social democrat", nothing else seem to work.- Very few scenarios.- The consequences of some actions are totally off, like raising VAT to 70% and seeing your opinion rating go up.I truly like the idea behind it, and I hope the author gets backing to develop it into 1) a real game, made by pros and 2) a more realistic simulation, but as it is now I cannot reccomend it.. Had been looking for a long time for this time of game... Came out better than expected. Really great game.
