Well that's for starters, it's been close to a year since I played it.... but those are some of the messages I got from the game. |
Admittedly you did well in dissecting the positive from the negative. That being said, ZNFYRH is correct. These subtle moral struggles are hard for a child to grasp. Well, there are more overt positives included. Such as I remember a cut-scene FMV in the game wherein "Carl" (the lead character) slaps drugs out of his brothers hands and lectures him about it. As well there is a permeating theme, basically the backbone of the games storyline, showing how drugs not only mess up a persons life, but his township. These are concepts that a small child
can understand. I concede these notions to you.
All that being said, the bad outweighs the good by several measures. "Carl" has to kill, steal and evade police many times fold for every positive notion in the storyline.
