About The Race for the White House 2016
Sympathisers from all sides and parties, from newbies to political addicts, whether Bernie-or-bust supporters or GOP voters, or somewhere in between, can now take part in one of the most compelling and controversial election that America has ever witnessed.
“Candidate” players can enter the 2016 presidential race as an actual contender for the White House, or you can join the political fray as real world candidates “Hilda Tilton” or “Ronald Drump” with animated 3D faces and hours of voiceovers by impersonators.
You will need to act and react – swiftly and decisively – just like in the real 2016 campaign Players have total control over their candidacy so you need to deal with lots of face-paced decisions. Candidates establish headquarters, travel the country, set up rallies, deal with super PACs, manage the campaign budget, make TV appearances in debates, and build TV and ad campaigns. Candidates also get to make nearly two hundred campaign promises, but be careful – those promises will impact the deficit! And do not forget to satisfy lobbies, religious communities, or ethnic groups as their votes will be decisive.
Yes, there’s the fun, slimy stuff, too… Dirty tricks have long been a staple of national politics, so The Race for the White House includes spreading scandalous rumors, arranging to have competitors’ campaign cash stolen, giving kickbacks to attract supporters, and sabotaging opponents’ meetings…but be careful because these slimy tactics might backfire and cost you the election.
Several game modes

i can't believe it's not malware 20162 found this helpful
Problems: Yes it is super cheesy with the graphics it looks like it was made in 2004 and The Events can be a little wonky just as an example lets say you disband protesters, you would expect that move to anger the protesters but instead it makes them love you (I believe this case only happens with two events and before you take the action it will show you what group supports it) Good stuff: You can run as an independent or third party which many election games don't let you do and its very challenging which makes it fun, there is a good amount of content like donors, a lot of events, and a lot of options for ads. overall if you don't mind horrible graphics (I don't and I think it makes the game a bit funny) then I'm sure you would like this.
Game is horrible, freeze's up when your about 5-9 minutes into playing the game and it requires unwanted downloads from a website.
Horrible! the graphics are horrible and the game wanted me to intstall foreign link, I did and it does even tell me were do put it in the game files! I can't even play the game! If you want an actually good political simiulator that works try the The Political Machine 2020, The Political Process, or President Infinity. I know that the game was made was a couple years old but any game that does not come with the right files is BS.
the game wont start and the only time it started on democrats won waste of money if your looking for a real game and its so old make a 2020 one or something
This is like the 2012 version, but significantly more terrible
