As I played the game tonight I began to notice that CJ was being used as a way to get the best out of the Groove Street Crew. This could be a way of acting Utilarianism. In the game CJ is used to bring out the total best in all the crew. He is sent on missions for the better of the crew. Another thing that I noticed was that the Mexicans are called Vatos. In movies we here this a lot also and it is the word used to describe gangsters but here they use it as the name for the Mexicans gang in general. To me I found this as a way to classify a group of people and that the game was stereotyping Mexicans. Another thing I found was that you could go around and do pretty much anything you wanted in the game and it has little effect on the outcome to the game. You can have sex with a prostitute, pay her, and then kill her to get your money back. I don't know what the point the game makers were trying to prove when they did this but I just didn't see the need for it in the game.

As I played this game I found it entertaining and challenging. Playing through the missions and completing them was fun. One of the big ethical issues I found with the game was the promotion of stealing from the other characters to complete the missions. To successfully complete the missions in the the time allotted you can not do it without stealing a car. I don't really have a problem with this as it pertains with video games but i do wonder how it effects children playing the game. I'm not sure it is ok for a game as popular as this to advocate stealing and violence in while they know that children under the designated mature rating will be able to get their hands on the game and play it. I just think that the game makes it look ok for people to steal to get where they need to be.
