There are also many clues to help you get your bearings in this potentially intimidating environment. When you launch a nuke toward a country (be wary of a huge drop in approval rating when that happens!), you will see that same isometric landscape obliterated in the familiar mushroom cloud. Many skyscrapers mean that the country has a big population, while the number of nuclear symbols signify their nuclear capabilities. Summary statistics for each country, for example, is presented as an isometric city, with each section representing basic categories. They have largely succeeded: although there is still a huge number of statistics and reams of text to pore through, they are presented in an attractive, graphical style, with neat animations.
It is apparent that Shadow President designer, Robert Antonick, tried very hard to counter the conventional wisdom that political simulations are "dry" exercises that are best left to Cold War historians and statisticians. Decide on national budgets, monitor nuclear threats, give foreign aids- it's all in a day's work. President who must maintain approval rating (ahh- that penultimate goal of presidency ) and deal with global crisis. If you liked this game, check out another cool politic simulation game, Shadow President.An intriguing- if a bit too esoteric and confusing- political simulation, this game lets you become the U.S. If there ever was a true politics simulation game, this one is exactly it. The replay value is also very high, because every thing you make might bring to drastically different conclusions.
There is a very thin line between failure and success. The game is very realistic and very, very detailed. You also have to satisfy the people, or you might get thrown off position in a coup. You don't know who to trust and what to do anymore. Every decision has its consequences, everybody and anybody might be at your throat, those whom you considered allies might be nothing more than parties of a certain interest. You are given the horrifyingly difficult task of building it back on its feet, but it is way, way harder than it seems. You are positioned as the President of a country in ruins. Hidden Agenda is a hugely detailed game that makes you play the true game of thrones - the political game.
