I think the game is pretty good value at ten dollars. The basic game design is the same as Democracy 2, although the way it simulates stuff is a bit simpler, and the interface and presentation isn&#8217;t as slick as the newer one.

It&#8217;s not as good as I would ahve liked, definitely making less money than last year. Tbh, most of the profit of last year was selling Kudos and My other games on portals. Democracy 2 sold well, but Rock Legend didn&#8217;t. I didn&#8217;t really make any money worth getting excited about from retail at all. This is all a bit worrying, although I guess you could blame the &#8216;credit crunch&#8217;, but that just sounds unlikely to me. I&#8217;ve possibly spent too long making Kudos 2 (and it&#8217;s not done yet), and I really need to get my ass in gear now.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping Kudos 2 sells as well as Democracy 2 did (or better!).
