If the game were a totally new product, this would be excusable. But the game is literally just the same as 2008, but with less content. Like I said in another post, they could have literally taken a copy of TPM2008 and added the new candidates and updated the issues/data and it would be a better game.
[quote who="LionDemocrats" reply="7" id="3203094"]How can I do an update without instructions? You have to remember not everybody is technologically hip.[/quote] Once the game is in your Steam library, it'll automatically handle all updating. If you've opened Steam since the update was released, it's downloaded/applied the update for you. If you haven't, it'll update next time you open up Steam.

They removed things that added a lot of replay value (unlockable characters, different scenarios/campaign mode, etc). If they literally just took the 2008 version and updated the stats/issues, it would be a better game.
Couldn't agree more, especially with the Campaign mode. CPU vs CPU would be great, too.
Great post. I'd love to see HotSeat-style multiplayer myself (ie same-computer multiplayer).

Just having different parties represented would be awesome, even if it's still just two parties against each other at a time.

Nope, either one or the other.
Agreed. I don't mind the graphics, though - if they were realistic it would look terrible but I feel the stylized graphics still look good. But the lack of a single-player campaign/more scenarios/unlocking characters is just horribly disappointing Here's hoping for a patch! If those things aren't added, at least a Scenario Creator would be amazing. People could create their candidates, issues, input historical data, etc.
Yeah, I really wish both of those features were still in.
