Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This in-depth game lets you crisscross the country as one of 12 presidential candidates and plan complex campaign strategies in a fight to win. You start with six weeks left until the election. You must choose your themes and give speeches as you travel from state to state, but don't forget to prep for the big debate. It's also important to create ads and find crusaders to rally voters around your platform. We really like this election simulation for its in-depth look at the trials candidates face on the road to the presidency. It's fun to pick your themes and strategies per state to gain momentum in the polls. Especially challenging is figuring out what speeches, ads, and promises will most speak to different regions. We would have liked to play a complete game to fully evaluate the software, but the demo cut us off before we could find out what it's like to win (or lose). People with an interest in politics or anyone who wants to see how nationwide campaigning works should download this game, if they can get past the frustrating trial restrictions.Publisher's description

Version: President Forever 1.15
"An election game I cannot get enough of!!!"
Pros: First off, It's hard to stop playing. It's very fun once you have the purchaced version. It's worth WAY more than the 12 dollar price! It's a very good addition to the gaming collection.
Cons: 80soft doesn't post scenario that often. Oh well, it's still a great game for all! Don't like the trial limitations! Takes a while to play if you have multiple people playing. If you cannot stand Turn-Based games, this game isn't for you. Try It. What do you have to lose???

Version: President Forever 1.15
Pros: The game is complicated to figure out at first, once you are going it is not awful, but don't even try playing the demo, it will no let you finish even 1 game
Cons: The Demo does not let you finish even 1 game to see if it is any good, or the election works out at the end. It is difficult to figure out at first
