Official Release:
Commander in Chief, a geo-political simulation game for PCs, puts players in President Obama’s shoes starting on January 20, 2009, Inauguration Day, when the game will be available at retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com.
Players face the same complex issues as President Obama – economics, energy, national security, terrorism, and all things politic – and can test their ability in five levels of difficulty to govern the U.S. on a world stage, responding to actions taken by fellow global leaders, just as in real life.
Commander in Chief is played on a detailed 3D world map showing 192 countries and 8,000 cities in a visually stimulating user interface with multiple windows, on-screen video inserts, and scrolling ticker tapes.
Each country has current data on 400 key factors including:
Economics (unemployment, inflation);
Energy (oil, gas, nuclear, hydro-electric, alternative energy sources);
Monetary (interest rates, stock markets, currency);
Social (unemployment and heath insurance, social security);
Military (detailed information on weaponry, arms production, locations of 1,000 military bases around the world);
Environment (carbon monoxide emissions, Kyoto protocols);
Culture (film production, sports, Internet distribution); and many other categories.
