I started playing Super Columbine Massacre RPG for the first time today. As soon as I started playing the game, I immediately felt a sick feeling in my stomach. I took a second to think about the real events that took place at Columbine, and this game really made me wonder how these kids took all their anger out on these innocent people. The violence in this game is far less graphic and gruesome compared to most games played today. However, since the game is sort of a documentary about the real Massacre at Columbine, I felt as if I was part of the murder scheme. It was extremely difficult to murdering students for no particular reason, and it put a sour look on my face everytime.
The game is very simplistic and easy to play, however, I thought the objectives were sometimes unclear. At first I had no idea what I was supossed to be doing, so I just started walking around pressing the enter button. It didn't take long to get a grasp of the game's intentions. The first part where the player has to gather the gear was easy. But the part where you have to sneak passed everyone in the cafeteria was a little challenging. It took me numerous times to find out how to get passed the cameras. After I planted the bombs in the cafeteria and got the duffle bags out of the truck with Eric, I wasn't quite sure what to do next because I accidentally skipped the reading too fast. I wasn't able to backtrack the instructions, and it took me a long time to figure it out.
