You know what I mean (I hope).

Why play such an appaling (graphically) game that is little more than running around trying to escape, when there are real gaming gems heading our way this holiday season eh ? There's no reason.

Why is it sick?

Dude, get over it. Why not make some money out of it, that way, it wasn't a complete disaster.

I reckon that it'll be quite fun, but i doubt anyone will buy it, cause most people are so pathetic - They can't seem to come to terms with the fact that something bad has happened. Anything that is even remotely connected with 9/11 is a crime to some people.
LOTR: Two Towers, for example. There was a petition about it on the net - It said that they should change the title, it was printed in PSW a while ago.
Does anyone else feel the same? Or am i an inconsiderate ret@ard?

If they can make "Conflict Desert Storm" and "Medal of Honour" they can sure as hell make a 9/11 game.

I don't see the what difference it would make. Granted, there'd be an uproar over it but that's the Daily Mail for you.

Well presonnally I wouldn't buy a game based on 9/11, it just doesn't feel 'right' to me.

Medal of Honour and Conflict Desert Storm are based on Wars, where people were pretty much forced to fight, and many were in the army anyway, and were expected to fight like that, so in a sense, a game based on that isn't 'as' bad. I'm not saying it's exactly tasteful either but I don't feel guilty or ignorant playing these games.

But 9/11 was a terrorist attack, it involved loads of innocent people who didn't have a choice in the matter, and to think that some greaady developers are trying to cash in on it is pretty bad. So a game based on it would be distasteful in my opinion.

I don't think it would see the light of day anyway.

Innocent 15 and 16 year olds were sent to fight in the first and second world war. They presumably didn't want to fight so it doesn't make it any more justified by saying they were forced to go to war.

As for the 9/11 game, it as inevitable that it was going to be released at some point. I am more angry that it is so soon after the event. These people just can't resist the chance to make a quick buck or the make a headline.

Very sad indeed.
