Thanks to the UK's defence secretary we're now going to get the full fury of the media this week and all the way up until the October launch of the game.
Why?
You can play as the Taliban!
By the way his name is Liam Fox, and he is a Doctor. So we get to refer to him as Dr Fox.
He said this: "I am disgusted and angry. It's hard to believe any citizen of our country would wish to buy such a thoroughly un-British game. I would urge retailers to show their support for our armed forces and ban this tasteless product."
He wants the game censored.
All because you get to play the story from the other point of view.
I only want the game banned because I had a go on the beta and found the game as dull as wallpapering.
I said this: "I am disgusted and angry. It's hard to believe any citizen of our country would wish to buy such a thoroughly dull game. I would urge retailers to show their support for gamers that are fed up with dull war games and ban this unimaginative product."
At the end of the day this is just another game that is trying to tell a story. Like it or hate it. It will sell well and fill the void for those waiting for the next inevitable Call of Duty that's coming out this year. We'll forget about it in a couple of of months and Dr Fox can go back to facilitating Army Radio.
(Remember that it will probably be 18 rated so you really shouldn't be buying it for your kids unless you're one of those people who don't know how to look after your kids.)
