Short Review : retro City Rampage : avoid

[rico001]

This game blurs the lines for teens on morality. A rule I heard someone say in the past is 'God's law gives freedom to society'. God's law in this saying refers to the ten commandments, I think, and not the 600+ precepts. See Exodus 20 for Ten Commandments Jesus forgives and redeems but this should not be an excuse to sin.

More On the Rating...
This game is rated T for teen and has: blood, crude humor, sexual content, use of alcohol, violence.

The graphics are pixel nes style, it has chiptunes music.

From the website: "THE PLAYER is out for a friendly frolic of CRIME CAPERS when suddenly ambushed by EVIL GOOD GUYS. " www dot retrocityrampage dot com/

This game is like GTA3 I was hoping the content wouldn't be as bad with a T rating,.... I WAS WRONG

--I've gotten to level 2. You get awarded for committing your first crime. I thought being older I would put up with all of this telling myself maybe The Player will turn out to be a hero instead of a villian in the end... But your allowed to hurt police, etc.

SPECIFIC CONTENT

They have swearing but they use symbols to hide the words.
Later I found out they have a paperboy level where you distribute pornography, though it probably doesn't show anything I don't want to play/promote a game that supports/encourages this and I did not know this or I for sure wouldn't have bought it. Found this out later from other reviews I looked at.

IMHO this game should be given an M or AO rating. As I continued to play up to level 2 the head boss blew up buses with supposed computer people in them and encouraged me to commit more crimes after I helped with a bank robbery in the game.


Conclusion: Not Recommended!


Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Phil. 4:8 NIV

IMHO this game should be given an M or AO rating.

Have...have you played a game that's rated Adults Only or Mature before? Let me rephrase that, have you played Dante's Inferno before?

EDIT: Duke Nukem Forever would also suffice.

Yes, I have played mature rated games, if you would like to have a discussion on morality you could start another thread? Happy Thanksgiving.

Regardless of whether we agree or disagree with rico001's opinion on what qualifies as a M or AO-rated game, I think the important thing is to at least recognize that he was making an effort to warn fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
