Didn't Bush reinstate plans to start putting Americans back on the moon shortly after he was elected? If so, maybe there will be a race to see who can build the first moon base just as there was with putting the first man on the moon.
I, personally, have never played this game but I have played a few fantastic games that didn't do well as far as sales are concerned. Mainly, POP: The Sands of Time and the first 3 Ratchet and Clank games. I think some people(myself included), when planning to buy a game, first try the game and base their decision on their initial impression as well as reviews from magazines and websites etc. I think if everyone did this, more people would be exposed to what games really are good and bad, and games like BG&E, POP, and R&C would likely get the attention they deserve. But I think the majority of gamers simply buy what everyone else is talking about (i.e. big liscensed games, flashy graphics, and games that budget big bucks for advertising). This creates hype and allows games that maybe aren't as good as others, to get a lot of attention, and attract the mainstream/casual gamer. This tends to leave some really excellent games in the dust.
