While it lacked any vulgarity, the realistic depiction of gore really pushed the envelope – it even got condemned as “pornography” (due to violence, not nudity) by the canadian government.This is how I first became curious about the game, and my first time playing it, I was pretty shocked – in a pleasant way. The game uses technology called the “ghoul engine”, which drives the games graphical gore fest. This system allows, for all sorts of realistic damage to be done to objects and characters in the game.

Nasty looking bullet holes, complete with powder burns, apear where you shoot a bad guy. And of course shoot someone enough times at a joint (or with a high caliber weapon) and you will dismember them. This is actually pretty fun, though somewhat disturbing. Shooting someone in the stomache with a shotgun will even cause intestines to spill out, and shooting someone in the face causes a REALLY nasty mess.While the over the top gore, is the main “feature” of the game, but otherwise the graphics look pretty good considering the year the game was made.
