How is this ad any different from movie or tv ads, they all tend to be the same. It'a a game about "Hitmen" hence the name"Hitman" you don't buy a game with that title expecting to find "Picachu" or "Hello Kitty" you find men, with guns, who kill people for money. I haven't played a "hitman" game yet, but I have a friend who does. He's not running around planing to be come a "hitman" though he does plan to go in the army in a few years...based I think on his fondness for Socum and other military games, but isn't that what the government wants...they can't have it both ways...on the one hand critic a game as being violent, on the other glorify war.
Ad critic: Hitman ad titillates, but is it a murder/sex sim?
