You don't battle savages in the jungle anymore a la "Jungle Jim". Hell, when's the last time you saw a Witch Doctor in a game? Not a "Bwana" uttered.<BR/><BR/>Most of what we are exposed to in the news, popular media, and general is that great swathes of Africa are run by warlords, assorted loonies, and is pretty much the last place you'd want to go. Not to mention all the awesome diseases you can collect.<BR/>Just sayin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357816407480174098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819746.post-47582735963923442222007-08-07T20:49:00.000-05:002007-08-07T20:49:00.000-05:00Good post.

It can't really go without comment when you're playing a white guy taking out a population of black people. I don't think it's meant to be indoctrination material for kiddies - in fact it seems clear that Capcom's idea is to visit every zombified nation, which, whatever. Now, having observed the disturbing racial dynamics... if they're zombies? I'm'a kill 'em. But I do prefer to blow the heads off a more diverse population.Jennuhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537788645366317785noreply@blogger.com
