peace maker review

June 26th, 2007

The interactive game Peace Maker is an interesting development in order to inform the community about the current issues of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict taking place at the moment, the use of live videos during the day’s report gives the player a deep insight for that city. The goal of the game is to promote peace in the middle east. By creating a game, the developers are trying to persuade organizations to take action on the conflict.

The game simulates the life of either a Palestinian or an Israeli leader, once chosen, the player is in charge addressing the nation and become the voice of the the country against the opposite nation and in international affairs. The player is in charge of military facilities, create speeches to promote peace, maintain the well being of the citizenry and deal with sudden burst of revolts inside the nation. As a leader, the player has to carry out the militaristic, economic, and social events and endeavors that will benefit and eventually achieve peace before the other nation.

One thing i don’t agree is with the ideology of the game, the player is forced to compete for peace and i think those actions will not help the other nation at all, the opposite nation will see you as an opponent and will try to fight you in order for them to achieve peace.

Overall, the game graphics are very well developed, the audio can use a little upgrade, the game planning work very nice and the controlling helps the player to easily maneuver through the menu.
