Upon starting up the game it became quite apparent that racial stereotypes are a very large part of this game. When I started the first mission I was in a bad area surround by people that looked like the same ethnicity as I was, it was more or less a ghetto. I did not own a car, so I had to jump on a bicycle. Playing off stereotypes and racism that would seem pretty accurate for the area. I had to ride the bicycle across town to meet a friend. One the way I was chased by either Hispanics or African Americans in cars, and while that was happening I’m pretty sure I passed a couple groups of Asians. Once I met up with the friend in game he lent me his car to go to the barbershop. At this point I couldn’t help but start laughing at what was occurring on my screen. Every racial comment that could be made was on my screen.
Overall from my initial experience of this game, I personally never played any cause I didn’t really like them, everything is very stereotypical. Each ethnic group talks with their own slang, the ghettos, items, and objective of the game all add up to something that seems to be creating barriers. I am not impressed so far with the game, but I have only played it for a little more than thirty minutes. I know the appeal is being able to go on rampages, so once I get there I will be able to judge the game better.
