Generally favorable reviews - based on 5 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: PeaceMaker is a single-player game in which one can choose to take the role of either the Israeli Prime Minister or the Palestinian President. The player reacts to in-game events, from diplomatic negotiations to military attacks, and interacts with eight other political leaders and social groups in order to establish a stable resolution to the conflict before his or her term in office ends. The two roles (the Israeli PM and the Palestinian President) are different in terms of gameplay, core balance and available actions. The target audience for PeaceMaker is socially aware adults and children worldwide, gamers and non-gamers alike. PeaceMaker engages global citizens by immersing them in a rich multimedia environment with a sequence of "what if" scenarios and experiences as seen from the Palestinian or Israeli perspective. In addition to the "players at home", high schools, college classrooms and community groups can use PeaceMaker as an engaging and fresh way to involve their students in discussing current events.

  1. For all its worthiness it's fairly dry in terms of action. [July 2007, p.90]
  2. While the narrow theme inevitably limits replayability, longevity, and appeal, I've found the challenge of pulling off a peace deal at the toughest difficulty level keeps drawing me back for an hour or two's play every so often. Call me soft, but I want to taste those hopeful tears again.
  3. It is engaging, interesting, and definitely a little bit of a break from the norm. [July 2007, p.71]
