Ubisoft is releasing a controverial videogame based on the life of Jesus this Christmas. The game will go by the name ‘And he saw it was Good..’. It wil include the latest graphics and will be released for PC as well as for Xbox.
The game begins at the birth of Jesus, when the three wise men bestow him, Mary and Jozef with gifts. One of the gifts is an Uzi which is used through out the game to convert non believers. During the game, Jesus gets different missions from God. At completion of a mission, Jesus gets a new power. Miracles and divine intervention cost a lot of energy which can be restored by praying. Unfortunately there is not a lot of time to pray because Jesus has a lot of Jews to slaughter. The game is considered to be very gruesome and brutal, and nothing like the more popular version of the peace loving Jesus. An example: at one point Jesus rides a dinosaur while his mission is to trample as many non believers as possible, if he succeeds in getting them all the dinosaur feasts on their flesh and the gift of walking on water is given to Jesus.
The game has gotten a lot of criticism from the Christian scene, the great number of slaughtered Jews through out the game also caused opposition from the Jews. The game is not meant for the faint hearted and has received an X rating, still Ubisoft is expecting it to be a huge hit. A review is following soon!
