Summing it Up

The game is overall an intense example of bad ethical consideration by the game maker. Although the game may not have affect on those who realize it is bad morals, it will have an affect on those who don't realize the difference.

Drug use, sex reference, and gang violence is all promoted as a good way of life in this game. In almost all ways of looking at ethics, this example would come up as one that is immoral.

The difference between this and other violent games is that in this game it is glamorized. It is a game, so of course the character also gets away with it. Never does the any character in the game say that this way of life that the character is portraying as wrong. If I would change one thing about the game, I would have a different ending that would teach a good moral lesson of ethical value.

However, do you feel that game provides enough of a context and rational that allows the player to understand why the main character chooses to do what he does (and how he goes about it as well)?
