Last week, the ACLU of Washington's Brian Alseth shared his hands-on impressions of the iCivics games, including Do I Have a Right?, Executive Command, LawCraft and Branches of Power. The article reviews the games in depth, noting both triumphs and failings. In fact, Alseth clearly spent significant time exploring the games, subjecting each to multiple playthroughs and commenting, among other things, on their potential replay value.
Despite some undeniably well-conceived and articulated criticisms, the review emerged overwhelmingly positive, acknowledging that the materials tackled "are all very difficult and complex issues, but the iCivics games do a remarkable job of making the concepts manageable and easy to understand."
We're much obliged for the great feedback, sir, and hope others follow your lead in thoroughly and critically dissecting the games!
