There’s some pretty lame games, but i thought this game for McDonald’s was clean, well-designed, well-aligned to actual Mac’s business operations and immensely fun at the same time. You rear cows, manage the slaughtering, the restaurant operations and deal with the board as well, controlling PR, advertising and board management functions, cool things is it seems there’s a tight algorithm behind so everything’s linked in a realistic fashion to affect your revenues. Your aim is to stay in the game long enough or risk getting bankrupting the company and get sacked, Apprentice-style.
It appears to be produced by a bunch of Italians who create a whole bunch of other games some of which are not exactly family-friendly but fun nonetheless. I don’t think Mcdonald’s actually hired them to create this game so it might seem this guy had helluva lot of spare time on their hands. They would be a good team to hire if i wanted anyone to create some viral buzz for me through this game channel.

dude, it’s a parody of McDs business. They skewer them at every turn… “corrupt the environmentalist”, “corrupt the mayor to destroy the village and grow soy to feed the cows”
this is the worst kind of viral marketing McD can get.
who knows? after super size me, maybe a covert arm of mac’s realized the age old theory of “if you cant beat them, join them” applies to mktg too?
besides, how many among the web-savvy netizens playing this game did not have access to media reports of mac’s all-too-unhealthy business practices? haha, just enjoy the game…
You beat me yet? Come on, 2016
Cool game. But i got sick after hitting 2070. Hint: Maintain 2 soy fields, about 4 pastures (with reuse by selling the land and letting it re-fertilize again). Focus on marketing when necessary and of course bribery

Hi there
My name is Corrielle and I am contacting you from MTD Sales Training
I am looking for some help creating a viral marketing tool that also needs seeding!!!
Option 1 Office based game: someone at the back of a meeting flicking screwed up paper off a ruler at the boss!!
Option 2 Christmas game: Throwing snow balls at boss
Option 3 Short Video clip that’s funny, office or sales related
We don’t need outstanding complicated graphics just a good concept that we can spread across offices and social networking sites.
It has got to be fun and interesting something that people will want to do and pass on to their friends.
I look forward to hearing your ideas soon
Many thanks
Corrielle
