Customer Reviews of PeaceMaker: Play the News. Solve the Puzzle. (Mac or PC)
Enlightening! I recently finished my MA in International Relations with special interest in Middle East issues. I learned a lot of "facts" and heard many opinions about the Israel-Palestine conflict, but it wasn't until I played this game that I felt I could only BEGIN to understand each sides view and emotions of the situation. It is an enlightening view into the "can of worms" which makes up this very long and historic conflict. <

>As far as its "game quality" goes...I am not a video game player by default, so I really have nothing to compare it with. I do, however design instructional materials for online courses and this is a WONDERFULLY engaging learning experience. <

Great drama, like writing your own story
PeaceMaker was on my radar since the write up in the New York Times a year ago. Playing both sides was a brilliant idea, using psychological tools in advertising is old news, agencies have been very good at the practice for years, sometimes to trick us into buying things we don't need.

>The designers of PeaceMaker turned that on its head, using it in gaming to increase understanding of ideas and facts that you may not care to believe.

>If you like great stories in any media, movies, books, plays and even if it is the only video game you ever buy you should give this a try.
Highly original -- Not just another strategy game!
I purchased PeaceMaker via download direct from ImpactGames several months ago. It is very deep and surprisingly fun. I haven't played a political simulator like this since Hidden Agenda, way back in the 80s. PeaceMaker is thoughtful, serious, and highly original.

>Beware: Many of your options in the game are really booby traps! In particular, using violence to solve the conflict will only lead to an early (and humiliating) loss. As the title of the game states, you simply must be a peacemaker to win. However, early in the game, you will often find that being a peacemaker is not popular with your own people! You will have to win their trust and prove your leadership before you can make much concrete progress toward peace.

>PeaceMaker is not a game for someone who is looking for a quick thrill or an easy diversion. You will have to make careful, well-reasoned choices to be successful. But if you're willing to think about your games -- and if you're interested in the concept -- PeaceMaker will be a very rewarding experience.
