Pros: It runs, yeah yippy.

Cons: In case you wanted to know why the Headline had nothing, that's because there's nothing worth noting. Honestly don't let the name Brain Spa fool ya, there's nothing special here & after the demo, I couldn't be bothered chasing a full version, simple as that.

Forever ?? Appeal lost to Double Dissolution

Pros: The only difference between the demo & full game appears to be the ability to create & edit characters.

It's a basic game that works on basic computers.

You don't really need to buy it, just play the demo & when you get bored delete it.

Cons: The appeal of the game is cut short (like a double dissolution election (sorry Aussie term)) once you understand what you are doing. That's because there isn't much depth available. FP 2008 appears to be little more than a rebadged older version. Many real life activities ain't avaliable like fake advertising, political espionage & funding of 'independent' political attack squads. Extra feature would improve it, however as it stands this game is for 10 years ago.

Game Designed to Rake Money from Stupid People

Pros: It's clean facade that doesn't require much processing power and it's easy to play. Ok to kick around with for 30 mins or so. Also ok if it was the internal workings of a larger program.

Cons: As the headline suggests, I view this game as being scamlike. Just like the pokies, this game is designed to scam as much loot from stupid people as possible. The similation is rigged to make it easy for players to win and after 45 minutes you are asked to make your first deposit. If you proceed to do this, you will be asked again & again to do the same thing. And it's not worth it. This has all the hallmarks of somebody who's studied various 419 scams and have produced a legalised version of it in the form of a game. And in this aspect the game works wonderfully.

Outside of this, the game is not remarkable in any way
