Violent maybe, but not racist. You get to kill all of the major ethnicities equally in this game. Pure indiscriminate killing! <br><br>P.S. Like i have said many times before, a video game would NEVER give me even the slightest urge to commit a violent act, nor should it to any mentally stable person. <br><br>

I frequently enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto as well as other violent video games. I also enjoy violent films, and never once, for not even a second, have I ever considered harming another individual. <br><br>Idiots. <br><br>
Yeah, I think the article had more to do with the 'unfair depiction' of Haitians in the game, but as you said, NO group is safe from a bloodbath in GTA3. It is what it is.<br><br>I just thought that pullout quote was hysterical.<br><br>

Hmmm so I should leave my rocket launcher at home? Joking aside I do have to admit after playing some of these games for a long time I do feel a little on edge. Not violent, but almost on a subconscience level I'm looking for snipers out of the corner of my eye. I don't know if I explained the feeling right. I'm not literally looking for snipers, but it's almost like your subconscience needs a little time to pull out of that "reality".<br><br>On a side note anyone have any good recomendations for a new game. I still love playing MOHAA on line, but the number of players have cut in half this year and it's almost impossible to find a game that doesn't have atleast one player using a wall hack or aimbot. <br><br>
