Amazon Pulls Virtual-Rape Computer Game

February 13, 2009 by itsamyxp  

video-game-rapeA shocking rape-simulator computer game has been pulled from Amazon.com after the site and game’s manufacturer received widespread condemnation for its content.

Players of “Rapelay,” created by the Japanese production house Illusion, stalk and sexually assault mothers and daughters, described as “virgin schoolgirls” that show tears in their eyes as they are being attacked.

Rewards are offer for players who force their victims to have abortions after they become pregnant. The female characters become visually more pregnant each time they are raped if their baby is not aborted. Players lose if babies are born. The mothers then throw the player’s character in front of a train.

Players also can enter “freeform mode” where they join up with other players to gang rape women.

A spokesman for Illusion said, “We believe there is no problem with the software, which has cleared the domestic ratings of an ethics watchdog body.”

Where’s a mean-a$$ watchdog when you need one?

    Normally things like this I am pretty liberal about..

    But this game features a rapist that tracks down the girl & her mother & sister to rape them for revenge for narking on him to the police when he was trying to rape other girl..
    he also bashs them up, takes photos of the mother & sister to show his final rape victim before he rapes her & eventually forces them to all become his sex slaves or he will release the pictures to everyone.. one of the girls also looks about 14..
    On top of everything else the girls can also get pregnant

    Yes I have played this game when it was legal & didn’t know how bad it was & it is a sort of fun game to play But it is not morally correct..

    at least the antiheroes in games like Grand theft auto & manhunt are sort of good guys & killing badguys, this antihero in this game is as evil as they come.

    if the game didn’t involve a 14 year old, rape & especially such a twisted story from such a sick antiheroes view point it might have been a great game because it does have a great engine But they push the envelope a bit to much..

    So I voted it should be banned
