Project # 2

So for this project the idea is to create an interactive piece that has some sort of political or ideological message or twist to it. Ive been searching for some political games that seem to display a message from the creator and have come across one pretty easily.

This game is a simple fighting game. The combatants are four dominant figures in politics and world affairs. George Bush, Saddam Huissein, Kim Jong Il, and Osama Bin Laden. The idea behind this game is that 2 of the 4 people fight in a very classic two dimensional arena, the first one with 2 kills wins.
I believe that the artist who decided to make this game had a very simple but strong message. He might have felt that since these people were creating war and death that they should be the ones to duke it out personally; not the people that are under control in their countries. The artist might want the viewer to be able to fight it out among political leaders without any real consequences. I believe that this game kind of mocks every person involved because of how they are portrayed and because the animation is very cartoonish; overall i think it's a good example.
