Rated: PEGI 18 (PEGI is the regulator)

Release: 2009

Concern: Encourages terrorist level violence in children. Cultivation Theory: desensitise players to violence and undermines morality by having players kill innocent people indiscriminately. Game is aimed at adults not children.

Alternative: The game is aimed at adults and the level makes you question how far is too far, both on a personal and International militaristic level. An active audience perspective would say that players are able to reflect on the decision and critique it, and are well aware of the difference between the game and realty. Furthermore you don't have to shoot any civilians and are not punished for not shooting.
