Review by Ned Fold:
"The Political Machine 2008 is one of those games that's fun for a bit, but then begins to grow repetitive. The problem here is twofold. First, the road to the White House is a well–worn path; you'll need to approach each game in pretty much the same way. There's no room here for trying out radically different strategies or approaches. Second, the game's level of abstraction is so high that it alleviates the need to make any hard decisions. You can spend all of your time making speeches that you're against high gas prices and terrorism and keep all of the voters happy. The game does try to inject some variety into the play by including scenarios based on historic elections and alternate maps set in Europe and on an alien planet, but the novelty of these variants doesn't last very long."
