I don't know what the other people who have negatively reviewed this game are talking about. Jesus loves me, apparently unlike some other Christians who left reviews here. After I heard about this game I prayed and won the pick 4 lotto the same day. That allowed me to build a kicking system that could play this game. Seriously, my PC is worth more than my stepdad's trailer home. My theory is to not bother Jesus all the time unless you really really want something. What I really really wanted was a chance to virtually blow away some non-believers without all the messy real world consequences.
Man did this game deliver! I'm seriously thinking about holding back a bit on my religious views just so I get "left behind" for real during the rapture. A little white lie here, a bit of fornication there and I should be good to not go. All those people that get taken right to heaven are going to miss out on some serious guilt-free [...]-kicking of people who haven't embraced Jesus's message of love, faith and peace.

Well, this is a first. A fundie that wants to be left behind so he can be in on kicking the asses of sinners. I've got news for your, Terrence. If the bible is correct and things transpire the way most Christians think it will, there is going to be a lot of ass-kicking going on, but it won't be you doing the kicking. You'd be on the receiveing end, just like all the others that are left behind, you friggin' moron.
szenah : Well, you'll have to pardon me, I'm not that much into video games anymore. And I knew he started out talking about a game, but, like most fundies can't seperate fantasy from reality, thought he had dove headfirst into wanting to get left behind for real. My bad.
Voice acting sucked, graphics are dated, actually contains in-game advertising AND costs money, brainless control scheme. This game blows and the fact that you instantly lose the game by going to hell for listening to rock musicians makes it more frustrating to play.

Which is why we have video games. Only instead of non-believers it usually goes along the lines of Nazis, aliens, robots, zombies, terrorists, and any combination of the others.
All things video game have just become irrelevant. StarCraft II has been announced, and all other games may only weep, for they are doomed forever to be second-rate.
Third rate, if you include the original StarCraft.
Who needs a rapture? Eternal bliss is coming right here on our computers.
I should note here that my brother is a bible thumpin' fool just like them, they truly believe that the sky daddy will leave some of them, one third to be exact, behind to fight the the forces of the devil, otherwise known as my homey.
After looking at the same person's other reviews, I can't imagine this isn't a joke. This one in particular is distinctly non-fundie:
My personal belief is that it is a good idea to raise kids without religious indoctrination. I think it encourages them to think critically and it doesn't burden them with the emotional baggage that can occur with religious upbringing. This book does encourage you to do just that. It doesn't hit you over the head and make you feel bad about being a Christian or whatever your personal beliefs are. Instead it encourages you to raise kids who ask questions, consider evidence, and look for their own answers regarding the meaning of life and the existence of God. That way you can help ensure that they arrive at their personal conclusions about religion and spirituality honestly when they reach adulthood.
HAHA. If that's a parody, it's hilarious. If it's not, it's still hilarious. Terrence Walsh, whoever you are, I doff my cap to you.
Uh, guys? This is most definitely a Poe.
It's sadly close to something a fundie would say, but there are a few 'tells.'
Voted 1 for Poe-ness.
Fanatic-Templar:
If they ever make a "World of Starcraft," all other sci-fi games are doomed.

That might actually get me to play a MMO. But I'm not entirely convinced.
On the one hand, StarCraft II may just be an excuse to set the scene for a StarCraft MMO, like WarCraft III was, but three-sided conflict didn't work out that well in Dark Age of Camelot, or so I've heard.
I'd expect their next MMO to be set in the Diablo universe, personally.
Right, hon. Except your definition of having "love, faith and peace" is forming a convoluted scheme to be able to murder atheists and "teh infidelz"! That should earn you a nice, comfy spot in Heaven...
Just kidding. You can go burn in Hell. I hope you enjoy your stay. Ciao! ^_^

One thing about Eternal Forces that annoys me: the double-thick box. It reminds me that just as the game wastes more space than necessary on the shelves, so do Christians waste unnecessary space on this planet.
I want to try this game, but I don't want to pay for it.
Also, what is the multiplayer mode for this game like? Does one person get to play as the satanic forces, or are there just unrepentant humans? And are the sides evenly balanced?
This to me smells strongly of a Poe.
"All those people that get taken right to heaven are going to miss out on some serious guilt-free [...]-kicking of people who haven't embraced Jesus's message of love, faith and peace."
That seems to me more like a punchline than it does like blatant hypocrisy.
But, if this isn't a Poe, I think he's well on the right track to getting Left Behind, just like he wants (in the event that God as he sees him exists, etc. etc.).
But has he considered he might be in the passenger's seat of a car when the Rapture comes, for example? It might be safer for him not to focus on potentially realizing a psychotic fantasy, and take the fast lane to Heaven instead - curbing his sinful, violent nature.
This makes sense, does it not?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
