But when I finally did try it it actually contains very little of that horribly offensive content (no more than a rapper's music video at least). Instead it's probably one of the most well-written computer games out there (that's probably not saying much). Of course I guess its problem is combining wacky violent gameplay with less wacky violent writing. I had similar thoughts about GTA (GTA3+) before I had played the game.
