IGN has gone hands-on with a near-final build of the game. Anyone with Infinty Blade experience will immediately feel at home. Gamers can tap left or right to dodge their opponents attacks, then slash the screen to “debate” their opponent. Parrying enemy attacks by swiping into their swing allows players to execute “rebuttles.”Players choose to play as either Romney or Obama at the beginning of every political clash. At the end of the match 0-3 “votes” are cast for the chosen candidate, based on the total score achieved. These votes are tracked and tabulated in realtime, allowing gamers to see which cartoony candidate has more in-game support.Players can spend virtual currency to swap out their starting microphone weapon with props like the constitution, a giant foam finger, an ice cream cone and plenty more weaponry shenanigans. A variety of costumes and other props are also available for purchase including an eye patch, a giant fake mustache and a huge top hat. Because why not?On a more serious note, Vote!! The Game provides access to real-world voter resources including easy links to voter registration forms, both candidates’ stance on key issues and more.IGN will have more on Vote!! The Game when it hits the App Store tomorrow, August 23.
