“Left Behind” video game makes players convert or kill non-Christian characters

Wal-Mart’s carrying it, too, which makes this a well-nigh irresistible twofer for the usual suspects.
The company says it’s much ado about nothing, that war’s just one part of the game and that it’s portrayed as, er, legitimate resistance to aggression.
Left Behind Games’ president, Jeffrey Frichner, says the game actually is pacifist because players lose “spirit points” every time they gun down nonbelievers rather than convert them. They can earn spirit points again by having their character pray.
“You are fighting a defensive battle in the game,” Frichner, whose previous company produced Bible software, said of combatting the Antichrist. “You are a sort of a freedom fighter.”
Who are the nonbelievers?
Players can choose to join the Antichrist’s team, but of course they can never win on [his] side. The enemy team includes fictional rock stars and folks with Muslim-sounding names, while the righteous include gospel singers, missionaries, healers and medics. Every character comes with a life story.
When asked about the Arab and Muslim-sounding names, Frichner said the game does not endorse prejudice. But “Muslims are not believers in Jesus Christ” — and thus can’t be on Christ’s side in the game.
Neither can the Jewish characters, presumably. Eh, no matter. Video games don’t cause violence, they’re just harmless escapism for bored kids. I know because a little moonbat birdie told me so.
Update: See-Dubya says it’s a load of nonsense.

Perfect segue to the ass-kickin, blowin’ stuff up, Jesus guy the other day, isn’t it?
lorien1973 on December 12, 2006 at 8:13 PM
Oh, horsefeathers. I debunked this back in May. Rick Warren’s publishing it, by the way, so I’d rather pile on.
see-dubya on December 12, 2006 at 8:14 PM
Hmph. I’ll take Madden or any Command & Conquer game over Left Behind.
Bryan on December 12, 2006 at 8:16 PM
Easy solution…do not like it?…do not play it.
EnochCain on December 12, 2006 at 8:17 PM
I’ve played some extremely violent video games in my time but usually it involves fighting aliens or Nazis or some other evil. Killing and/or unwillingly converting non-Christians does seem particularly nasty IMO. If this game was aiming for a Christian theme then it totally missed the mark IMO.
Yakko77 on December 12, 2006 at 8:17 PM
From the Nov 7 Gamespot review:
Unless you’re shootin’ people with some Jesus love–there ain’t no gun play in this game.
armylawyer on December 12, 2006 at 8:22 PM
I’m really tired of the Left Behind franchise.
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 8:23 PM
It’s better than ACTUALLY killing folks in the name of your religion, is it not? I’m just saying.
SouthernGent on December 12, 2006 at 8:25 PM
Actually, in the book of Revelation, besides Jesus, angels, and the unspecified martyrs for Christ, the stand-out “heroes” of the book are Jewish (Jewish Christian is not an oxymoron), the sealed “144,000″ from the 12 tribes of Israel, plus the famous “2 witnesses” (who drive the Antichrist and world crazy with their 24/7 Jerusalem witnessing before being killed to the world’s glee, only to be resurrected and raptured) have the attributes of Elijah and Moses, though it’s not clear exactly who they are.
Barnabas on December 12, 2006 at 8:26 PM
As a gamer, this game is very disappointing.
As a Christian, it is just plain offensive. And it’s not Biblical to go around killing non-believers.
Killing unbelievers is a command from the Quran.
Lawrence on December 12, 2006 at 8:26 PM
Command & Conquer rocks. And you can play as jihadis!
Allahpundit on December 12, 2006 at 8:32 PM
The Gamespot review was a little offensive too…if the game sucks thats fine but saying that because you are a Christian you are brainwashed is uncalled for.
EnochCain on December 12, 2006 at 8:34 PM
Bryan, if you like large scale combat games, i’d suggest the Medieval Total War series. You can play as either Christian or Muslim nations; there is some political scheming, building dynasties, having heirs, and so on..but the combat..it just shines. Up to 10,000 units going at it..calvary, archers, peasants (or as grognard wargamers call them ‘hamburger’) Damn fine game. There is also the Battle for Middle earth series which allows you to play as the good or bad guys. Ever wanted to see what war trolls can do to units under your command? It’s not pretty. Lots of games out there much better than this Left Behind game.(which is what I did when I saw it at Best Buy.)

If you don’t believe in
abortionRevelations, don’t get one.seejanemom on December 12, 2006 at 8:35 PM
For starters, it sounds like there isn’t even simulation blood in this game.
Next, look at the whiners:
On to the setting. It’s not a scenario set in the present world, and the message is to go seek out non-Christians and kill them. It’s a POST-RAPTURE world, where it’s survive and accept Christ, or fall in line, and eventually spend eternity in Hell… and the idea is that you won’t have a choice, you’ll be forced in to option number two, unless you kill someone trying to force you.
Now, I’d like to hear from someone who’s played the game. It sounds like the gameplay sucks so I don’t want to hear about that, I want to hear about how the game is actually played. Is it your average shoot-em up, only instead of zombies or aliens, it’s non-Christians… Or is it a game in which you’re trying to survive, and when threatened, you essentially have to kill or be killed.
The article is very vague, and given the level of dishonesty of the media, I’d bet anything that the portrayal in the article is total BS.
That said, I don’t think this is the greatest idea for a game, but I want to be out ahead of this, because I think I’m probably right. What’s funny is that those who will be pissed are the same ones who flip any time a Christian group bitches about bloody graphic game violence.
RightWinged on December 12, 2006 at 8:36 PM
Eh, when you make a bad game filled with BAD evangelism–you’re gonna get a smarmy review.
armylawyer on December 12, 2006 at 8:38 PM
So true, now I am off to play God of War. lol
EnochCain on December 12, 2006 at 8:44 PM
I updated to include this, but people on this thread might be interested to see the game publisher’s responses to these sorts of questions.
Sample:

Yeah, but you can pray your way out of jeopardy. Waste three old ladies, hit your knees, and it’s all good.
I’m outraged!
Allahpundit on December 12, 2006 at 8:54 PM
Allah,
Is this all-Christian (both normal and crazy types) most-of-the-time week? Actually, it’s kind of fun. :-)
baldilocks on December 12, 2006 at 8:58 PM
Works for me in the real world.
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 9:00 PM
Koran envy. Video games in general should be “Left Behind.”
CyberCipher on December 12, 2006 at 9:04 PM
IGN seemed to have a fair review of the game (http://pc.ign.com/articles/745/745956p1.html). They did notice sexism because converted women can’t build houses. Plus the Chrisitan message seems undercut by how you can play as the antichrist in multiplayer.
I never liked this 1000 year reign nonsense anyway. I want a Wii!
frankj on December 12, 2006 at 9:05 PM
Okay, so I misspelled Quran. Sorry.
CyberCipher on December 12, 2006 at 9:05 PM
I heard that the game was coming out but don’t know much about it. I really enjoyed the first couple of books in the series, but after a while the whole franchise started to suffer from overkill.
vcferlita on December 12, 2006 at 9:07 PM
A bit of an oversimplification, but yeah, that was kind of the point of the whole crucifixion thing.
If I were writing the game you might have spend some of your money to buy indulgences.
It’s better, as they point out, than Grand Theft Auto and games where you get points for beating hookers deliberately.
see-dubya on December 12, 2006 at 9:10 PM
vcferlita,
Agreed. After the first few books, I was like “can we get to the Second Coming already?” Didn’t read past four and don’t remember much of the plot from the the later two–perhaps because there was none.
If you’re going to write about the Apocalypse, you need to get to the point ASAP. :-)
baldilocks on December 12, 2006 at 9:14 PM
Getting points for that would make it mindless violence, but you actually just get to steal their money after you do it… like in real life.
Has a good game based on the Bible ever even been attempted? I would think most of the good gameplay would come from the Old Testament… maybe a Moses platformer game.
frankj on December 12, 2006 at 9:29 PM
BTW, no one better tell Andrew Sullivan about this new Christianist plot as he’s a bit excitable.
frankj on December 12, 2006 at 9:31 PM
If I was a kid and my parent got me this game instead of Gears of War I would be so pissed.
JaHerer22 on December 12, 2006 at 9:36 PM
So the Holy Ghost rides shotgun? Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! My Spirit points are so high I could nuke Mecca and still survive to see the horses in the sky.
If you’re going to make a game about End Times it would make more sense to make it a survival game, not a conquering game. Feh, whatever. Warren’s Purpose Driven Corporatism turns his churches into shopping malls anyway. It’s fun for awhile, but it’s a house built on sand.
And I know some of the supposed “Dominionist” leaders personally. Most of what gets said about them is pure crap.
The Apologist on December 12, 2006 at 9:41 PM
Currently in my high play rotation? Medieval 2: Total War.
Get a hold of the outrage here… It takes place back from 1100-1500. And…
There are crusades in this one - no lie. To take Jerusalem and stuff! Issued by the Pope!
You can even discover the New World. And slaughter Aztecs!
Outrage-o-rama!!
Of course there are jihads, too. And you can play as either side.
It’s odd, though. There are no Crusades these days - only jihads.
Hoodlumman on December 12, 2006 at 9:45 PM
Even more entertainingly, you get to fight against jihadis without either the UN or the press having anything to say about it.
I played the original Shogun version, and dug it very much. Something about having 5,000 samurai per side squaring off in the snow gets the mind going.
To answer frankj, there have been a couple of attempts at making Biblical games. I played a couple. They’re…weak.
Bryan on December 12, 2006 at 9:48 PM
That’s being very kind. The problem with Biblical games is that for one, designers rarely want to create a game where God can lose, and two, the stories they do come up with just aren’t that compelling.
Personally, I’ve been having a lot of fun with “Red Dead Revolver.” It’s mindless, but a fun western shooter.
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 9:54 PM
Actually, I forgot about Catechumen. I reviewed that favorably, though it doesn’t hold up as well after a year or so and a second look. The demon blasting was kind of cool in that one. Ominous Horizons, the other title I mentioned in that review, was really weak. I never finished it.
The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys are still two of my all-time favorite games, and they might be considered Christian games. Doug TenNapel made those games, and though they had nothing to do with the Bible at all they had some interesting storylines and lessons snuck in. They’re brilliant games on every level, great characters, great music, everything. They’re even funny, and not funny like “Christian commedian” funny. They’re…actually funny. Even though Skullmonkeys was made for the PS1 it still looks terrific–it was way ahead of its time. But they’re both all but impossible to find now.
Bryan on December 12, 2006 at 10:09 PM
You should check out “Dead Sea Scroll Solver”. It’s a combination archaeology/translation game. It isn’t much fun, but it isn’t mindless. And the “scroll unrolling” stage is maddeningly difficult without the “no dissolve” cheat enabled. You can be a goat herder’s son, a biblical scholar, or an Israeli university student.
The Apologist on December 12, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Actually, I just saw a funny Christian comedian.
Okay, he’s actually a comedian who happens to be a Christian. Works clean. Guy’s name is Thor Ramsey. Really funny.
He does tweak the church a bit. My favorite line of his was “Christians have always been funny. Just not always on purpose.”
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Yeah, but that “no dissolve” cheat is a pain to enter. Left trigger, right trigger, a, d, x, x, left thumbstick, etc…
Who can remember all of that?
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 10:13 PM
gamespy says its a fairly vanilla real time strategy game and that the only thing remotely interesting about it is the storyline. didn’t even mention killing, presumably because the game introduces a non-violent conversion mechanic to the gaming experience which is a notable divergence from pretty much every other game out there.
in fact, by making peacefull conversion a third option apart from kill and be killed, makes the game perhaps qualitatively and quantitatively less violent than, for instance, progressive games which spread the gospel of peace and social justice.
jummy on December 12, 2006 at 10:17 PM
Here’s the other side of the story, from the creator of the game. http://www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.htm
Ted Decker on December 12, 2006 at 10:22 PM
As a pastor, let me say….good grief. And we just did a series on the end times.
danarchy on December 12, 2006 at 10:22 PM
That’s my problem with this article… I don’t know if we’re getting the full story. My guess (just a guess) is that it IS actually a game of survival rather than conquering, and that the article is spun (wouldn’t that be a surprise) to appeal to a certain, predictably and selectively outraged sect.
RightWinged on December 12, 2006 at 10:29 PM
that’s the only kind of christian commedia there should be. same for conservatives. same for all creative fields people are feeling locked out of on an ideological basis.
i swear that “daily show for conservatives” is going to suck. the fundamental flaw is that the liberals in the daily show “for liberals” are the audience, not the writers/performers. the writers and performers are comedians devoted to the craft of comedy and who happen to be liberals personally.
gaining a conservative presence in the creative world is no more complicated than for conservatives who want to be creative to simply get the balls together to create. no manifestos, no special venues or support groups. just create.
jummy on December 12, 2006 at 10:30 PM
More about The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys here and here, with screenshots. The Neverhood is more than 10 years old now, and yes, it really looked that good. It played like Myst through a combination Wallace & Gromit/narcotic filter.
Bryan on December 12, 2006 at 10:36 PM
you’re exactly right. in fact, if you click through the jyb’s post to rightwing sparkle’s post you will find the piece of which establishes this distortion. the lies told about the game there are so strident, even some of the denizens of that site are telling the author they sound like a fascist. towards the bottom of the comments, a christian plater sets the record straight:
jummy on December 12, 2006 at 10:39 PM
You didn’t misspell it. In English it’s Koran.
Marlowe calls it the Alcoran (like alcohol and algebra).

thanks I’ll stick with Mortal Kombat
Defector01 on December 12, 2006 at 10:47 PM
It is all Liberal lies. Here’s what the game publisher’s CEO said in an interview when asked about this directly.
It’s been checked by Focus on the Family, a group that really cares about the kids, unlike the “Liberal and progressive Christian groups” Campaign to Defend the Constitution and the Christian Alliance for Progress, that simply wish to attack anything that does not promote Liberal dogma.

Larry Boy and the Bad Apple is a decent one on the PS2. The closest thin I have found to Nanjo Kazooie from the N64 days. Great goofy kind of fun.

infidel4life on December 13, 2006 at 12:02 AM
I think when all is said and done the Left Behind francise will be exposed as wood, hay and stubble (see 1 Cor 3:12 and vss. following), a crass marketing ploy that was a terrible disservice to genuine Christianity.
infidel4life on December 13, 2006 at 12:08 AM
I do not see how it is a disservice if it gets people thinking about God.
EnochCain on December 13, 2006 at 12:21 AM
You know, this is a stupid objection. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but it is. Tell me, is the Christian message of the Christian movies undercut because Christians play the bad guys? Come on!
JinxMcHue on December 13, 2006 at 12:31 AM
So, Allah, I guess you think Christianity is an outrage, too, since that - in the most basic terms - is exactly what can happen.
JinxMcHue on December 13, 2006 at 12:36 AM
“The DaVinci Code” also got people thinking about God, but in a positive way?
IMO the whole Left Behind concept is elitist escapism. “You’re gonna be Left Behind (when the shit hits the fan) and we’re not! Better get with the program, or else!!!”
infidel4life on December 13, 2006 at 12:42 AM
I think the tribulation or whatever would be mostly about staying alive, and only killing in self defense. You would not “fight for freedom”, because freedom would be completely impossible until the end of the seven year period when Jesus returns.
I hate when people market Christianity and screw it up like this.
emmaline1138 on December 13, 2006 at 1:22 AM
Religious zealots killing in the name of God?
That never happens.
Black Adam on December 13, 2006 at 1:44 AM
About 20 years ago they made some Bible Nintendo games for preschoolers and young elementary age kids. My children loved them. In one you had to gather all the animals for the ark using food to entice them (bananas for monkeys, hay for cows, etc.) In another you were Moses and you had to get to the Red Sea. Fun, not for older kids but great for the little ones.
Rose on December 13, 2006 at 2:04 AM
Well, there is a “Muslims for Christ” organization. Well, more like ex-muslims for Christ.
And there’s “Jews for Jesus” organization, too.
So much for Frichner’s claim.
Kokonut on December 13, 2006 at 2:27 AM
This game sounds like they put their entire behind into developing it.

I’m not very energized about the Left Behind game; I mean, Christian, teenage boys look anything but threatening when they’re getting spiritual with their joystick. But I do get energized over tired, retread, stupid sh1t like EnochCain’s remark. But now I sense the moment has passed. EnochCain, that’s just too stupid to bother with.

Limerick on December 13, 2006 at 8:54 AM
I played the beta of this game and even had a chance to talk to one of the developers over TeamSpeak with an online christian gaming ministry I belong to. All it does is portray a very possible scenario of what will happen during the end times according to Revelation. Yes, believers in Christ will be sought out and killed. Yes, they will have to defend themselves. Yes, hopefully they will convert some of those that are trying to kill them.
Don’t like the idea? Don’t buy the game. The people upset over this are just upset because they don’t like to think about which side they’d be on in such a scenario. If this game made you think about it, then it has done its job.
Benaiah on December 13, 2006 at 9:28 AM
Oooo. I forgot about that. My kids would love that for Christmas! Say what you will about me, I unabashedly admit that I probably watch Veggie Tales almost as much as my kids do.
vcferlita on December 13, 2006 at 9:28 AM
Shogun was way cool; I just had a booger of a time trying to figure out the units and what their specialties were…reading a bit would have helped..:)
As for Crusades, in the original Medieval, if you played as a Christian country, you couldn’t make war on other Christian countries or you risked ex-communication. My father got around this in a rather novel way by doing away with the pope and installing one under his control when he played as the Germans. During the course of the game, crusades are called on the Muslim countries…and the Mongols appear at a certain point and generally beat the snot out of everybody.
I remembered something else about the left behind game that a buddy of mine (works at Electronics Boutique) mentioned; he claimed that when you ‘convert’ someone, their skin color changed (to white). If that’s true, I think the designers got some real tough questions to answer.
austinnelly on December 13, 2006 at 9:29 AM
Turn the cd over and muslims kill christians if they don’t convert.
right2bright on December 13, 2006 at 9:35 AM
So is no one else playing Final Fantasy XII?
But yeah, this video game is stupid and offensive to Christians.
If I want to play a violent video game, I’ll play Grand Theft Auto. They should be coming out with a new one soon, and yeah it all works the same there too. If you kill a certain amount of people, you get police stars which go away if you do a few things.
But I don’t even like the “converting” part. Conversion is something people do to themselves. Christians can help a person understand what that means, but Christians cannot “convert” nonbelievers. That part in and of itself is offensive.
Esthier on December 13, 2006 at 9:40 AM
If anyone read the series then they would know what this is all about. So if you didn’t read the series, either go read it and know what the story is behind the game OR don’t talk about things you cannot possibly understand.
ugh.
Graceless on December 13, 2006 at 9:54 AM
Yawn. Clearly a twist game far from the foundations Christ put forth. Now if the game had a more fitting Muslim theme it would be honest but then CAIR would be suing EVERYONE.
Timber Wolf on December 13, 2006 at 10:45 AM
(Sorry if this is a dupe).
The whole Left Behind series takes place in the “end times”. A large majority of Christianity believes in the rapture, which this is after. At which point those who are “left behind” are preparing for the anti-christ. So as much I think premillinialism is wrong :P I’d still have to defend the game and say the game doesn’t at all encourage any of those things. Because for one, in the eyes of the game creators, all the Christians already got raptured up. The game takes place in a sort of “oh shit we have a second chance to get saved scenario.” ;)
CorinthianJest on December 13, 2006 at 10:47 AM
What’s not to understand?
MuslimsChristians are killing non-believers. It’s pretty cut and dried.Oh, and they regain points by
answering for their crimespraying.Black Adam on December 13, 2006 at 10:53 AM
I’ve read a few books of the series, but quickly grew bored with the almost complete lack of character development and the terrible dialogue.
Esthier’s comments are spot-on as to why I find this game troubling - they’ve sacrificed good theology for the sake of gameplay and are giving a distorted view of Christianity and conversion.
Slublog on December 13, 2006 at 10:56 AM
while members of the antichrist(devil) certainly are not Christians….it is certainly different than saying they are killing non-Christians which would include a much broader swath of people. Sort of like calling abortionists pro choice…hah.
MarkB on December 13, 2006 at 12:08 PM
This whole series (I have read parts) is a complete crock. Old P.T. was right.
The other one is “The Purpose Driven Life”. What a bunch of drivel that is, talk about the dumbing down of America. (I am probably just jealous–wish I had thought of stringing together a bunch of pablum and making millions off of it).
honora on December 13, 2006 at 12:23 PM
You know, it’s amazing how seriously some people take the fictional “Left Behind” story. I suspect these same people would tell conservative Christians to not take certain other novels, movies and video games so seriously. Sheesh!
JinxMcHue on December 13, 2006 at 12:52 PM
I don’t know why the huge fuss; its a specialized game for a specialized audience. Heck GTA gets less bad press then this game does. The left behind series is also specialized for people who like christian fiction. I’m Jewish, I don’t care. I’m not going to buy it not because it offends my jewish nature but because it has absolutely no interest to me whatsoever. Same goes with the left behind series, it had no interest to me as a Jew but Im not going to claim they should be burned because they offend me.
This is honestly one big “WHATEVER!” moment that people really take way out of proportion
Defector01 on December 13, 2006 at 1:50 PM
For RTS, my money is on Age of Empires. That’s a fun game. I’ve also been looking into Medieval II.
For war games, nothing beats Battlefield II. I’ve also enjoyed Call of Duty II and III, but, in online play, too many people want to play sniper, which just gets annoying. Battlefield makes battle more realistic where the people have to choose a variety of positions (Engineer, Medic, Special Forces, etc) for a team to win. Gears of War is interesting, and I’m enjoying playing through it, but I haven’t started to love it yet. The like I have for it could develop into love over time though…we’ll see.
I tend to prefer RPG’s such as Zelda (all of them, but, currently Twilight Princess) and Final Fantasy XII (what an epic!).
For a quick pick up game, nothing gets the blood pumping like Wii boxing.
And, for mindless killing (if that’s actually what the Left Behind game involves), I much prefer Grand Theft Auto. Nothing makes you laugh quiet like your character saying “Don’t blame me. Blame society.” as he pulls some poor motorist out of their car.
JadeNYU on December 13, 2006 at 2:05 PM
Starcraft’s where it’s at. And quite frankly, there’s nothing more fun than running an Iron-Curtain-covered set of Libyan Demolition Trucks into an enemy’s base and watching them self destruct.

So, as usual, the thought of Christians defending themselves
