Eh, it's a boring and crappy RPG. Seemed unfinished when I played it.

I still want to play this.

How long did it take you Leon?

IMO it is retarded that they pushed it thru to the finals only to then decide it was distasteful and cut it.

I beat it in a short amount of time. You can do it pretty quick, although the more time you spend in the school leveling the easier time you'll have when you get to the hell section.

While I do think the game is totally tasteless they shouldn't of pulled the game. It is nice to see all the other people pulling their games out and a sponsor dropping.

I don't see how the game can be compared to the movie Elephant...the game is blatantly about Columbine, whereas Elephant is just a movie showing a situation similar to Columbine (correct me if I'm wrong).

This probably wasn't the best choice of game making.  It was only a matter of time before )t would get national attention and be addressed by higher authorities.

To each his own, but I think I would have to skip playing this. I've played numerous murder or shooting games. HELL, one of my favorite games is the Hitman series. But when you take a national tragedy and turn it into a game.  That's probably going a little to far.

But, that's just my opinion. Shocked

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Personally, I don't think the game should have been pulled. It is a method of expression, and we don't go around telling movie makers that their movies are the scum of the earth. The same should hold true for games. Does that mean there should be better restriction on the sale of games? Possibly, but to completely blacklist a game due to its content could be considered as embarking on a slippery slope, one that I think most people would rather not touch.

Sounds like the doom controversy again with the columbine shooters.  I agree this game is in bad taste but its still an expression.  Traderjake said it best.

Yup, the damn commies strike again.

It is a crappy game though, one that shouldn't be of any discussion simply because of how much it sucks.

reminds me of 9/11 and the un-release of propeller arena for dreamcast.

You're my hero. Vanilla Ice RULES! I can't believe that there is another SERIOUS Vanilla Ice fan on this site. The special edition DVD should be called "Cool As Ice: Drop That Zero Edition".
