You're right... it'll offend a lot of people...
Personally, Its' pretty fucked up. It's a nice game and all but pretty bad timing with the release. Some look at it as poking humor at Steve Irwins death.. It probably does... People's also godda remember that Steve Irwin is a damn loon and he lived for the thrill of Exploring the wildlife.... Had it been before his death it woulda been great but.. i dunno man... Fun game none the less.
