This was a very controversial game and was seen as 'poor taste', it was a predominantly accurate portrayal of the JFK assassination from the posistion of the assumed murderer Lee Harvey Oswald from the window of the building.
This entire case was never truely solved which was reason enough for this game to kick up a fuss, but the fact you got scored for your first three shots on the president was a terrible excecution. What I needed to have explained to me was that this game was made to 'help' clear up the many theories behind the assassination; perhaps if this was stressed enough it wouldn't have stirred up such anger. Some gameplay videos of 'Reloaded' show the gun being fired far more than what Oswold could have even physically had done.
The visuals and setting is protrayed very accurately, but if this was a game to help clear up the theories behind JFK's death, then they had failed to add in the shooter on the grassy knoll idea. I find it difficult to see this under the genre of a docugame as documentaries show a unbiased, factual event, usually from multiple perpectives so the viewer can understand the situation better. This game is purely shooting the president as a suspected killer.
