Today was my first experience playing the game. The keys were easy to figure out, and I was able to move quite easily.

When the game started, I was somewhat unaware of what I was supposed to be doing. I either was not paying close enough attention or I had just skipped over the directions on what I had to find in the house. As soon as I figured it out, I wanted to explore the rest of the house. I was interested to see what else was around.

I did have difficulty making my way down the school hallway. I made several attempts, some were more successful than others. I still havent made it down the hallway, but I think I have found the technique to reach the end.

I havent gotten very far in the game yet, but I am already slightly disturbed by the objective. Normally I wouldnt have any issues with missions to blow things up. However, I think since this game is based on a true life event, it makes me think differently. Although I wasnt affected by the incident, I could not even imagine how those who were in some way affected by the incident would react to this game. I know I personally would be outraged if a shooting that may have hurt someone close to me was turned into a game for amusement.

"However, I think since this game is based on a true life event, it makes me think differently"

Have you ever played a game set in World War II? Do you have a similar experience when doing so? Why? (or why not?)
