Oh, how I wish this was just a joke. It is beyond parody.
The security of the nation is in your hands! Plan, construct, staff and maintain border command centers, conduct city patrols and engage in anti- smuggling investigations. Do you have the intelligence and courage to handle the responsibility?
WOOO
Maintain traffic checkpoints, train tracker dogs and investigate smuggling operations. But are you able to do it all within budget?
Use NEW technology to secure America – listening devices, satellite surveillance, remote cameras, helicopter patrols and more!
Do I get to plant tracking devices on cars belonging to the innocent friends of people I’m investigating?
Interrogate detainees to gain information about future plans of smugglers or terrorists seeking to harm America.
I better be able to waterboard and likewise torture, dammit.
This appears to be developed by a UK studio. Is this how British folk make fun of Americans?
I want to make a tower defense game where you build fences, station minutemen and hand then increasingly powerful firearms while every minute a new onslaught of Mexicans attempt to cross the border!
And here I was thinking the other day how games so seldom comment on current events. I, for one, welcome our new xenophobic overlords. Because they have guns and I don’t.
Awesome - i’m getting the theme tune to ‘Team America’ in my head!
“No…stop…i don’t want my retinas scanned and stored on your database, please i’m just a good guy…not the waterboard…jeez…no sense of humour anymore.”
I think this era we live in is ripe for parody, the more the better…before we all end up with barcodes on our foreheads. Still looking at that game, it seems to take itself quite seriously, so i’m not sure it is a parody at all?
I’m totally buying this and thinking of the border as the entrance to Quarter to Three and the people as the unvetted masses. Also, can you rename people in this game?
