Now you can run the ins and outs of a presidential campaign in the most realistic game of its type. President Forever lets you match George W. Bush against John Kerry. You set the issues. You plan the advertising. You pick the Vice President. And you receive the political glory or fallout in the daily newspapers!
What I loved about President Forever is the ability to pick your stance on issues based on a sliding scale.
For instance, you can set your position on gun control via a sliding scale measuring your position from far left (liberal) to far right (conservative) and a few positions in between including centrist. Your position stances affect the campaign and you will hear an outcry from your support base if you reverse a core party platform position.
Here are some of the political issues you choose your candidate's position on:
Abortion, Affirmative Action, Balanced Budget
Business Taxes, Campaign Finance Reform, Ecology
Education, Free Trade, Gun Control
Same Sex Marriage, Immigration, Military Funding
Military Intervention, Personal Tax, Public Health Care
Renewable Energy, Social Security, Terrorism
Not only does President Forever let you play out the 2004 American Presidential Race, you can also play historical contests as well. Relive the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy race, 1980 Reagan v. Carter, or 1992 George H.W. Bush v. Bill Clinton.

Presidential Forever, July 01, 2007 Reviewer: Adam from Ripon, CA, USA
4 of 4 people found this review helpful Presidential Forever is the most in-depth presidential Campaign game on the market! Starting with the primaries lead your candidate through interviews, advertising, and speeches as you try to gain your parties nomination and win the presidency. It is a very long game and takes a while to complete, but chances are you will enjoy the game.
Winning states isn't all that easy, as you must take one state at a time, and it is very hard with one candidate already the favorite, but you can however try to become the Vice President if all else fails.
Now, if you like campaigning as yourself, then this game is perfect as you can lead yourself into the presidency, but you will enter with less in the polls so you will have to fight back up.
The Full version is worth every penny. With more features and elections it makes game play more exciting and addictive. I recommend this game for anyone who loves presidential campaigns, 5/5!

1 of 1 people found this review helpful If you like risk and politics, you will definitely like this game. You can be anyone you want to be, EVEN YOURSELF! You can create scenarios and candidates! You have to choose between the Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, or Constitutional candidates. I would recommend buying this game because if you play the demo, you will get pulled in and wanting to buy this game. Here are the reasons why you should buy this game: 1. It's realistic 2. you can edit candidates so you can have you r own beliefs in the game 3. Because its a time waster. So what are you waiting for? You should play this great game now!!

1 of 6 people found this review helpful I'm going to say this flat out out i think this is very boring. I suggest if your not into the politics and the running for president type of thing turn back because this is not the game for you. If you are interested in these type of games and could probably understand it go ahead.

Most Realistic Election Sim Out there, March 26, 2007 Reviewer: Ben from USA
1 of 1 people found this review helpful All though it isn't the most Recent version, it is one of the best Elections simulators I have ever played, I was hooked instantly. Not only can you select from a list of candidate from different campaigns, but you can also create your own candidate, so even you can run for president of the United States of America. The Game is Detailed with Crusaders, who go around campaigning for you, you have ads, fundraisers, speeches, you don't write the speeches but it is still good. It is mainly strategy, where the candidate goes and how it affects the campaign, and how much money it costs. Ultimately, it is one of the best, if not the absolute best game of its type out their. If you like Politics, or just want to run for President, you must get this game,
