Today during game play I entered the city of Las Venturas, the third island in the game. The city is an obvious replication of Las Vegas and incorporates every last sinful detail of "sin city". The first mission I played in the city was working for Woozie, your triad gang associate. Woozie and CJ become business partners in a new casino.
The ethical issue at hand, atleast the one I'm experiencing, is whether the game should really be encouraging torture, which is conducted in the mission via strapping a mob thug to the hood of your car, in order to be successful. I believe does a fantastic job of getting the player to believe that these actions are neccessary to free your brother and become successful. After considering the issue it is always important to realize that the vast majority of players are not individuals who would let a game affect they're daily life and attitude.
