JFK Reloaded

[Kubrick]

Heard about this game on the radio last night. You are Lee Harvey Oswald!

I can't see any longevity to this game tbh.

Seems a bit boring to me - how many times can you play the same objective before you get bored ?

edit:- posted same time as Stu

[Super Stu]

No sir, a minute hence!

I r teh fast0r

Or something. I assume this is made up, btw. edit - although there seems to be a download link.

[Kubrick]

Especially when you only get 3 bullets

Unsurprisingly, Senator Ted Kennedy is up in arms about it.

Damn your eyes ! I'd typed the post but was too bust browsing the JFK site to click the post button

No its a real `simulation`. The BBC reported on the moral outrage on their website earlier today

[Super Stu]

If you miss, does the US turn into an arty farty peace country?

[Kubrick]

Nope, they go into Cuba with all guns blazin'

As far as I can tell, its mainly a fairly serious Edutainment thing, doing a similar job of modelling the events in Dealey Plaza as was shown on the excellend BBC2 programme a while back. Its just that they stuck a little 'game' section in to show how its perfectly possible for Oswald to have made the shots he did; no Grassy Knoll needed.

Then add a marketing manager with an eye for controversy, and it all goes stupid in the press.

Maybe after you are caught you can evade death and then end up in Shawshank Redemption: The Game.

It does seem like someone wondered how they could get the most free PR and thats the game they came up with.

Thinking about it, maybe in later levels you get to assisinate other leaders. Maybe Bush is the last level! It would kind of be the opposite of http://www.ntsc-uk.com/review.php?pl...FugitiveHunter although most probably just as bad.

I actually downloaded this and you don't get any bullets at all.

All you can do is watch the motorcade (sp?) and that's about it?!

The competition they are running is interesting if nothing else - get shots closest to those of Lee Harvey Oswald and win $$$$

[Nijo]

You don't get any bullets unless you pay the $10.
And then you only get a certain number of goes to enter the $100k competition...
