It had to happen sooner or later, Barrack Obama has already been featured in art, coins, and comic books, so why not a video game? Zensoft answers that very question with the website superobamaworld.com where anyone can play for free a Super Mario like adventure game featuring the President of the United States.

In the game you play as Barrack Obama in the unique world of Alaska, full of pigs and men in suits trying to kill you. Also a certain governor makes an appearance to try and destroy you. You will run and jump collecting American flags through out each level. You move through each seperate level that has it's own subtitle, ranging from The Real America to I Can See Russia From My House!

If you ever played Super Mario Brothers you already understand how the game works you use the arrow keys to point where you're heading and the space bar to jump. The set up was my only problem, I'm use to most games allowing you to switch what keys you want to use and would have preferred something else as I'm use to my left hand controlling there where I'm heading and my right hand doing the jumping/special actions. A feature letting you alter this would be greatly appreciated, I kept finding myself using my video game emulator's control settings instead and causing many deaths because of it. Really this is the only flaw I can find in the game. It's free so can't complain about the graphics. It's fun, entertaining, and quite funny. Seeing Sarah Palin in snow mobile of death caused me to bust up laughing.

The graphics are a bit simplistic, but it is trying to get the Super Mario Brothers World vibe, not the newest high graphic game. The music is a simple stars and stripes forever played on repeat, it does get tiresome after a while, but so do most side scroller's soundtracks.There aren't many levels at this time, but Zensoft has promised to add more levels. They want to include Illinois and Washington D.C. including a few others, all to be free as well!

If you have some free time and was at any point entertained with the election hoopla, this game is for you. If you hated the whole election process and just want to see parts of it killed, this game is still for you! You can go out and defeat Sarah Palin or purposefully die over and over to watch Obama fail, the choice is yours.
