I'm fine with violence and murder, but a boob or a bum is just not right. Why do these European socialist game designers want to warp innocent minds? Think of the children please.

"Monuments can only be gotten"

Wow Tom, you're a school teacher?

The lack of theme worries me as I know I am getting this for Christmas. :/

But the "concern" over half-naked people...REALLY? I am an American, but I have never had a problem with nudity (other than my extra ugly 23 pounds - only a few of those are my head!!!) and just don't understand people who feel that nudity is not family friendly. I would MUCH rather worry about the amount of violence that our society considers acceptable versus seeing a boob or two. Sheesh.

Crockett and Tubbs would never play this, probably

Children don't give a damn about nudity, not to mention mild nudity.

they don't even know why it shouldnt be appropriate for them to see a naked body.

it's the adults who make a fuss of it

Even Michelangelo's Last Judgment was offensive to some people and they had pants painted all over it

if you think about it, whatever moral process turned our very appearance into something inconvenient doesnt make sense

why is crete in 3 pieces?

[RezoAcken]

@koningwoning Well it's just how some people perceive nudity content in relation to their children I guess. I don't understand it either and I couldn't care less for half nudity for my children... but hey who am I to say how someone should raise his kids.

@koningwoning - I do understand I'm falling over a VERY small part of the review though. Thanks for the comprehensible review... If not for this, I would have thought to go out & buy it cause the mechanics look good by themselves

[koningwoning]

I'll never get used to the prude american way of seeing life. Is it about sex? nope! then what's wrong for children? I agree with someone else here who says it's dry, mechanical and that's why it's not family friendly. You also don't scold your young 'uns for liking "cash 'n' guns"

Please don't use the christian card - I'll warn you in advance: you'll recieve the Maria Magdalena card back....and that one trumps the christianity card :-p

@ErmineskinCreelov : There's just a big difference in the perception of nudity and violence between Europe and the US. Here in Europe, it's quite the opposite - we're cool with nudity but violence gets heavily edited in movies, magazines, etc. and we kind of wonder of you getting that exhausted with the slightest lick of nudity...no offense here, that's just the way it is.

@quieofa I think you are right sir.

@onesagotoomany I really hope so, but if it was I didn't see it.

[onesagotoomany]

@gasol18 Ermineskin was being sarcastic. He was pointing out how ridiculous it is to say this isn't family friendly because of some nudity.
