In an article entitled 'Bulletstorm: the worst game in the world?', Fox News talked about the possible impact of the product developed by People Can Fly on society. "If a young person is faced with the explicit language of Bulletstorm, the damage could be significant," says psychologist Jerry Weichman.

"Potentially Bulletstorm video games such as send a signal to the effect that violence, insults and sexual innuendo are means of solving the problems of life." According to psychologist and author Carol Lieberman, the increase in the number of rapes "can be attributed largely to the sex in this game." The Lieberman does not mention, however, no studies to support that therefore remains only one point of view.

He expressed his opinion about the president of the Entertainment Consumers Association, Hal Halpin. "Among the best system for rating games, parental controls on consoles and the veto on the sale of adult games to minors, the problem lies with the individual parents. I respect the right to creative freedom to the developer of a game like Bulletstorm, so as I respect the right of a Quentin Tarantino makes a film like Kill Bill.

" The publisher Electronic Arts, however, has given its response to the article in Game Informer: "Epic, People Can Fly and Electronic Arts support the ESA and ESRB believe in the rules of the institution. Bulletstorm got a 17 + classification and is not intended for children. Like Tarantino's Kill Bill and Sin City Rodriguez, Bulletstorm is a product intended for adults.

"Bulletstorm will be available on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from 22 February.
