Commander in Chief, a PC game that puts players in President Obama’s shoes, launches tomorrow, Inauguration Day. Just like the President, players immediately face the same problems and challenges as in the real world – the economy, controlling the military, national security and terrorism, natural disasters, alternative energy sources, and many others – all with the persistent threat of a terrorist attack on a major U.S. city.
A game trailer can be seen at www.commander-in-chief.net. The game can be played alone, or, with an Internet connection up to 16 friends.
Commander in Chief is played on a detailed 3D world map on a screen similar to cable news programs – multiple windows, scrolling tickers, and on-screen video inserts. To make the geo-political simulation as close to “real world” as possible, each of the 192 countries in Commander in Chief has current data on 400 key factors provided by 50 international organizations including the United Nations, G7, NATO, NAFTA, OPEC, and many other respected sources.
The game has generated national television coverage, print coverage including The New York Times, and has been featured on political Internet sites. Media interest outside the U.S. has been extensive, reaching major publications in Europe, Australia, Singapore, and throughout Asia.
Think you can do better than President Obama on issues such as unemployment, the environment, social security, or foreign relations? Here’s your chance! Commander in Chief will be available at retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com starting on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009.
Commander in Chief was developed by Eversim, published by IGS (Interactive Gaming Software based in Maryland), and distributed in North America by Atari Distribution.

They get to vote “present” all during the game?
Do we get any choices besides “meet for talks without preconditions”, “capitulate”, or “do nothing”?

One of the biggest challenges of the game is to speak a short sentence without a teleprompter.
I bet Gamespy has the cheat codes for the real birth certificate.
Does it have hide the Birth Certificate feature and lawyer up?
Good Lord! L0L
Obama’s game stats: Level 0 Thug with a Teleprompter +3 of Dire Charming and an Empty Suit of Decision Avoidance.
Ah, a re-released crappy game with Obama added = the re-release of Jimmy Carter’s crappy presidency with Obama added.
This game absolutely must follow every bit of the Obama ascension from his birth in Mombasa, his grandparents elling B-29 blueprints to the Germans, his days being tortured in grade school in Hawaii the Kill Haole day, his years of indoctrination in socialism, Marxism and Islam.
His rise all the way to being PEOTUS, all his money managers and the puppetmaster like Soros.
Of course their will be the side adventures of cauterizing incriminating eveidence.
It’s a platform game. You have to spend as much time in front of the cameras while being chased around by Aayers, Rev. Wright, and Rezko.
Jimmy Carter with a tan.
