numerous glitches destroy this game's potential

User Rating: 6.5 | The Political Machine PC
By Habast | Review Date:
First off, these glitches I am about to list may only be my own (although I've seen people complaining about some of these).

*When I tried to save, it froze and shut down
*Randomly freezes
*Randomly shuts down
*Some graphics glitches

Glitches aside, this was a pretty good game.

The Good
*Good political simulator
*Variety of canidates
*Ability to make your own candidate

The Bad
*All the glitches
*No update for recent politics
*Half way through the race the game gets about 10x harder

The Just Plain Ugly
*You can't run as an independent...

Gameplay: Would be better without the glitches. (6)

Replayability: (7.5)
Overall: (6.7)
