I remember when this game came out and it was a national scandal. Parents and teachers were trying to get it banned because of the violence. Now it looks like a Care Bears episode. 

Also, don't these kids know how to block? 

I was disappointed they didn't dive into that topic a bit more and explain the controversy back then. It would be interesting to see the reflection and comparison to today's games.

 

And some of them sort of knew how to block....

Yeah, I watched it again and I'll give some of them credit for their blocking skills. :P 

And I agree. It was such a big controversy that it would've been interesting for them to explain the history of it more. Kind of funny that violence in video games doesn't get brought up much any more since it seemed like such a big deal back then.
