Well, every game but this-

That just sounds.. awful. I don't know why they couldn't make a game based on the whole Christian uprising in Roman times and do it right.

This Christian game is fun. The graphics and sound are good. I like the idea behind it, you are a Christian warrior who has to free your mentor and brethren from the evil Roman soldiers. To do this, you must convert them with the sword of the spirit.
Uhhh.. What the hell? You shoot people with a sword, and they become Christians? That's obscene, especially given the Christian ideal that you must have
Faith to be Christian! Brainwashing people with magic swords just completely defies the message of Christ altogether!
Why not have a skill, say
Preach, where you can explain your beliefs to the Roman soldiers and convert them that way? After all, that's how the word of Christ was spread in Roman times. It wasn't done by some guy with a magic sword that shoots brainwashing spells at people.
That's just.. disgusting. It amazes me the reviewer laps that tripe up.
This game isn't violent, you don't see any blood. In fact I didn't realize I died at first. You blast those roman soldiers with your sword and convert them. I wish converting people was this easy in real life!
Umm.. Why no blood? Blood and violence is mentioned often in the Bible. David decapitated Goliath after knocking him out with a sling. Cain spilled Abel's blood on the ground, which is when God showed up to punish him. God, through Moses, turned all the water in Egypt in to blood! How about marking doorways with blood so the angel of death would pass those houses in Egypt?
Come on, a Christian game without blood is just silly. The Bible has the word used
451 times, per Bible.com's search engine.
Why not allow the choice of playing a warrior of God, a la David, or playing someone with the wisdom to teach the word? That would give the game depth as well as remaining true to the Christian theme.
And the converting thing being that easy in real life. Once again, this kid totally misses the point. You have to have
Faith. That's the important thing in Christianity, every single sect has the belief of reward through
Faith.
When you find yourself low on health, read bible scrolls. This game is great for kids!
This is completely sickenning as well. Physical scrolls.. Hello? Why not.. You guessed it..
FAITH to heal? Why do you need scrolls, when there's prayer? Or the ability to heal through
Faith? It makes no sense.
But I would highly recommend this game to any child or Christian.
I sure wouldn't, since the message in this game is pretty far removed from Christian teachings. Why they praise this, I have no idea. It's stunning.
