Saving Lives

At this point I have acquired a comfortable feel for the game-play and controls. As I continued to destroy enemies and save lives, I began to think about how this game has kept my interest. The idea that I am killing bad guys keeps me motivated since I feel like I'm not only accomplishing something but enforcing justice at the same time. Furthermore, the intense graphics allow the massive explosions to actually surprise me and increase my heart rate. I feel like I am watching an action movie and controlling the plot at the same time. This is true to some extent since the user's actions in this game actually affect the path that must be taken in order to complete a level. If I continue to do positive moral actions, such as give my partner a high five, spare the lives of innocent hostages, or even the lives of innocent animals, then my path to victory in this game becomes easier and more fun! It is interesting that my moral decisions affect my outcome in this game and proves to be an educational aspect of what first appears to be a brainless slaughter frenzy.
