This isn't the first time I read the article but I still don't really know what to say about it. "Drama queen" is what instantly pops up after having read it. If the debate wasn't blown out of proportions before, it sure as hell is now! While there are issues in the game (the fans admit it!) I think it has more to do with inexperience and Sakamoto's experimental nature. The way he is demonised is way worse than any flaw in Other M. But enough about that...
I thought the story was interesting, but it's execution was flawed. I think I slept through the "shot in the back" scene or something because I can't remember thinking that this was even close to being offensive. Maybe I was in total shock. I can see why Adam did it. It's damn rude but it makes some sense.
The Hell Run part is badly done. It's the worst part of the game; it just doesn't make any sense, but I guess the staff wanted a level like this a bit too bad. I view it as bad game design. It doesn't really have much to do with the story at all, it's just bad design.
The article stretches things way too much for my taste. It's like laying puzzles but you don't want the puzzle to end up like the picture on the box so you grab a hammer and smashes the poor pieces into place; and the result is a very strange picture indeed.
