I've read some of the books as well as seen some of the Left Behind movies. The game couldn't be any worse than those are. I'm gonna have to call my brother in texas and see if he can't hunt down a copy of this game. I believe this is another situation where the press is just taking things out of hand yet again.

I am more offended at all these idiots who are getting offended by the game. As the Christian forces you lose points for killing people, at least that’s what it said on the box.

It's not trying to spread hate at all. Just because you may not be apart of the religion, does not mean that others are not. Likewise, just because you don't find an interest in the game, does not mean that others also won't. Have you ever thought that maybe this might more appropriate for you to play than games where you murder countless numbers of people? Should we get rid of those games because the role you play in the game is offensive to somebody? How about the games where you're trying to overthrow a government?....should we criticize those games for their views or ideas? We should be thankful for the liberty we have in gaming, it's pretty much an anything goes business...why should that stop when it comes to Christianity? Good article. @titan7000

Good article.

Generating millions through fear... nice work. I love how their test area is in Texas, though! The guys that wrote the books are laughing all the way to the bank.

I think this game is rightly being criticized for it's narrow mindedness and I hope that I am right when I assume since they didn't mention certain numbers it's 25% of 100 which would mean they have only sold 25 games... Heres hoping it stays that way. *insert rolling eyes* To the poster above me Da1rocky: "Many gamers dont realize it, but they usually are just as bad as the people they despise" What they heck are you talking about man? If a game sucks I criticize it please don't lump me into a category with news anchors that have never played a game in their lives probably. Thanks.
