CheatCC Hail to the Chimp Review

CheatCC writes: "The recent heated race for the Democratic Presidential nomination seems to have put politics on the forefront of many gamers’ minds. Historically, video games and politics haven’t mixed well, with the pastime becoming the favorite scapegoat of many politicians.

As with virtually every other form of media that has come before it, video games found themselves in a struggle to avoid censorship and to enlighten the masses of their true potential. With all the abuse video games have taken from politicians over the years, Gamecock’s latest release instantly brings the phrase "turnabout is fair play" to mind. Hail to the Chimp seemingly strikes back against these numerous injustices by making a mockery of the presidential election process. This game is completely overflowing with political satire, which is displayed in everything from its over-the-top characters to its ridiculous mini-games objectives. While the quality of the included jokes and puns can vary greatly, the majority are actually quite amusing. Even the menu screen attempts to keep you laughing, with the CNN-spoofing GRR news program constantly providing you with comical commercials and news segments."
