I’m not going off on some "Video games cause our youth to perform violent acts!" rant, because I think that’s all a crock of donkey doo. I just find it disturbing that we live in a culture where someone can make a video game that simulates performing brutally violent acts on human beings and have people raving about how incredibly cool it is because of that – not because the gameplay is great, not because it has an incredible storyline, but because you can murder people in horrific ways. I can’t wait until Rockstar releases their next game, which will no doubt be "Baby Rapist XTREME" and have people raving on message boards about how cool it is that you can pretend to be a pervert in it.
If you still don’t buy it, just ask yourself what State of Emergency’s main selling point is. Is it that you can have fun manipulating onscreen objects in ways that require skill, concentration, and thought? Or is it the fact that it lets you simulate extreme violence? With most games that are labeled as violent, the answer is that they are just fun to play. With State of Emergency, I honestly don’t think that’s the case, and if you think it is, I think you need to seriously re-analyze the situation.
(btw, I’m in no way saying "People who play SoE are sick freaks who should burn in hell!" I’m just throwing into question why exactly everyone wants to play this game so much – afterall, the beat-em-up genre is not exactly the hot one right now, is it?)
I like it, it can refresh my mind.:o
