Commander in Chief, also known as Geo-Political Simulator, is a

weasel words], although this varies based on the form of government the player's nation has. The English version was released on July 25, 2008, and has also been released in French, German, Spanish and Russian. The French version has been named Mission-Président.[1]

Gameplay

When starting a new game, players may choose between various scenarios, some of which have set objectives while others are more akin to a "sandbox" mode.

Similarly to other government simulation games like Democracy, the player assumes the role of the chief executive of their chosen nation such as the President of the United States of America or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Unlike in the Democracy series the player may amend the constitution of their chosen state and run it as a dictatorship.

Inaccuracies

The game refers to the position of chief executive as "Head of State" which is not true for all states—for example, the

Head of State, with the Head of State often being a ceremonial president or monarch. There is also no distinction in the game between any upper and lower houses of the parliament
.

There are also inaccuracies relating to nations in the game, as many nations are misrepresented. For example, the

Filipinos have Indian names.[citation needed
]

Reception

The game received mixed to negative reviews.[4] Jason Ocampo of IGN remarked that the game was "difficult to take as a serious simulation of global politics."[2] A reviewer for GameZone stated that the game was "a pretty hollow attempt to cash in on the recent Presidential elections."[3]
