    It isn't a game, it's a simulation - and a deadly accurate one at that. 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 It isn't a game, it's a simulation - and a deadly accurate one at that.

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.… Expand

    This is barely even a game. Completely surviving on the subject matter, because the gameplay is non-existent.

    Godawful game. Nick, you're a master of sarcasm. ;) Here's the "gameplay": As the shooter, you sit in a building. A car drives from around a corner, and you shoot an ugly model, that's supposed to look like JFK. The level looks like something that a beginner could make in a few hours, there's absolutely no replay, since you only sit on 1 spot, can't change Godawful game.

You just see your corshair. For the first time ever with any game, I hope this one gets banned. … Expand

    The simulation, viewed on its own, is quite compelling. Offered in a different context, its analytical depth would reward hours of study. Unfortunately, Traffic has framed it with all of the taste and restraint of a tatty traveling shooting gallery.

    Despite absurd justification for making this thing, as a cold-blooded sniping exercise it delivers.

    The game itself is too lightweight to stand much repeating, leaving two possible outcomes: you'll become a paranoid conspiracy theorist, or get bored, shoot the driver, and watch them all perish in the resulting crash. [Feb 2005, p.93]
