I cannot wait for the Madden version where we get to choose the drugs that geek the players out. What is the slogan "Its in the ....."

Glamorize murder and mayhem.... you get a more violent society. Now lets glamorize drug dealing and drug trafficking. Hmmmmm whats the logical conclusion....
And the Liberals wonder why this country is the way it is.....

Next think you know, there will be a game out there simulating pedophile stalking.
I'll leave it to your imaginations to come up with a sufficiently evocative title.

"I'm not sure this is such a step forward."
It's not. I used to play a game called Metal Gear solid. In that game a cigarette was smoked to use the smoke to find laser sensors. However during the time the character holds the cigarette his life points decrease. This is even worse because it doesn't even promote a realistic application of the drug. In reality it should cause the player to have a harder time.

Hmm IIRC, in the old NES game called Narc the marijuana could kill you.

I bet 1,000,000 copies of this game that this thread gets hijacked by the FR anti-drug law cotillion before post 45.

It's not the first though..
I recall playing a game called Fallout years ago where various drugs were used as powerups. They had negative effects though, the more you used them and you could even become addicted..
Still the setting was not "real world", it was set in a post nuclear war type setting.. radiation mutants and what-not.

People appalled by this game should definitely not buy it, for themselves or their kids.
I'm not appalled, but I will also refrain from buying it because it sounds dopey.

I dunno. The player, I presume, is playing a LEO, and is into graft (confiscating drugs for personal use). May be a more realistic picture of LEO's than we usually see in any media.

A more realistic game in which the player is the Beltway lobbyist for a Drug Lord, and has to logroll the deals between lawmakers to ensure maximum cash-flow and influence, would be challenging.
And too close to the bone for comfort.

TV producers are paid by the ONDCP to propagandize the U.S. population in favor of the Drug War.
It is illegal for the FedGov to knowingly lie to the people. The ONDCP is excempted.
However, they overlooked the job of addicting the game industry to government money. So the game industry can now fill the unnatural void, and they will make piles of money doing it, and these games will make the TV propaganda lose value.

Not being a gamer I don't really see the appeal of a video joint. I'll stick to the real thing.
