    If it's any consolation, this game doesn't make it "fun" to kill JFK. It takes the concept very seriously, letting you test various theories. Sure, it could have used virtual dummies or bots in place of realistic renderings of the actual people involved but the developers were striving for realism.

I presonally found it fascinating, and it raises a lot of questions about the assassination of JFK. If Lee Harvey Oswald was the "lone gunman", why wait until the limo is driving away? As the demo shows, it would have been much easier to kill JFK while the car was coming towards the Texas Schoolbook Depository. And Oswald would have had to have been both a good marksman and extremely lucky to make the shots he did - it's nearly impossible to duplicate his shots.… Full Review »
