The biggest computer game of the year is out and is of course being
attacked by various advocacy groups. With some reason; the game
is violent and ugly and entertains us by letting us do violent and
ugly things. But it's a game, and American society has long since
accepted that ugly violence is entertainment.
MADD has joined the call against GTA because there is "a game module where players can drive drunk". I wonder if they actually tried out the drunk driving simulator? Driving drunk in GTA IV is awful. I tried it once; the camera goes pitching around at random so I had almost no control over the car. The view is so swervy I became a bit motion sick. Then the cops saw me. I tried to speed away but I was so out of control I crashed into a wall and got busted. Maybe, just maybe, GTA could teach people that drunk driving sucks? |
