"Good game but...."
date: May 18, 2002
I hate to be the parental figure who has to point it out but if you've ever watched racist cartoons from the thirties up until the fifties you would realize that the stereotype in this game is really offensive to African Americans, as well as black people around the world. The game is great, I just wished you would have designed a different character than a racist stereotype--and I don't say that lightly since I've been accused of stereotyping myself. I doubt it was intentional so I just urge you to do some research into it and possibly think about replacing that character. Nothing wrong with having a black person get barbed in the same game with a white guy, but not like this.
AND I also found it disturbing that not one NG reviewer found that stereotype offensive or at least noted it. I thought I was insensitve, but man that's bad.
Not trying to rag on you. A good game but a questionable character.
