 As a game, not the best, as a learning/teaching tool, amazing! July 3, 2010

I've got to disagree with the earlier reviews. As a turn-based strategy game, AFMP kinda stinks. If you are simply looking for a great TBS game, move along, nothing to see here folks. Your time would be better spent in the Civ 4 aisle. As a game it is insanely text-heavy, the graphics are straight out of 1995, and it is a complete "rail" game. ie, each scenario usually has one and only one "winning" strategy. As a pure game I'd give it a C-.
HOWEVER! If you look at it as a multi-media adjunct to the award-winning book and video, it rocks hard. It is a hands-on, in-your-face tutorial on applying the strategies and tactics of nonviolent organizing in real-world scenarios. It takes the lessons from AFMP (video/book)A Force More Powerful and makes them come alive in new and creative ways. A+
If you love AFMP, and want to experience it's message on a deeper, more engaging level, you've gotta have it.
 Awesome Game! January 30, 2009

This game is an excellent way to learn about nonviolent movements and strategies. The game comes with several very interesting scenarios, ranging from political, civil, to ethnic conflicts, that have been taken from real-life case studies of social/political movements around the world. In the game the player acts as the movement organizer and must decide strategy, tactics, and the overall vision for the movement. It is really a great game and the best part is that the player gets to organize tactics like marches, protests, strikes, petition drives, vigils, pickets, concerts, and so much more!
Excellent Game!!!! October 6, 2008
