After playing for just a few minutes, I instantly got the feeling that this game was aimed towards a more black comunity. At the beginning cut scene, I also knew I was going to have many trouble with the authorities in the game. I've played this before, but as I was actually analizing all the little details in the game, I saw the issues this game brings up. Problems with corrupting, rasicm, and gangs. Officer Tenpenny easily abuses his authority to get the upper hand on CJ early on. His partner mouths of a rasist comment or two and I'm left wondering what if all officers of the law where like them. It's sad to say but I'm more than positive that many were like that once. Now it may be a little more hidden since it's illegal to discriminate, but who knows how many cops are biggots.
Racism is an obvious issue with this game. While CJ's family is at the cemetery, his brother Sweet says to his sister that he doesn't want to see her with a low life "esay". Sweet has a problem with his sister dating a hispanic guy and calls him a low life when his sister simply says that he's no better. Are they really the same? I'm sure Sweet doesn't think so, their skin color is different, so the answer early on is evident to him.
The first house I lived in was a very run down, ghetto neighborhood. I believe many of the people that were there are still there. People connect to their homes a lot but when gangs start taking over and people are dying all around you, is it very logical to stay in such a place even if you call it home? I know my dad didn't think so.
Other then these issues, the game starts off slow so I'm glad about that. The first time I played this game, I was glad i wasn't rushed into anything like driving a car to some unknown destination. I played the first couple missions and just messed around with people and ran around for a bit. It was fun for the short while that I played.
