Where's the post from some Mexican fanboy complaining that they can't get GRAW 2 content in Mexico and how it's all Microsoft's fault somehow?

Canada makes the games, but with a US market in mind (who they are gonna be selling the most copies too)

So any complaints should be directed towards the american audiance who wants this sort of stuff.

Just Mexico, no biggie.

I agree with the game being pulled. If I were Mexican, I would not enjoy a game in which the storyline involved US forces coming in and killing people.
It's like a Catholic in N.Ireland playing a game where you are the British and you re-enact Bloody Sunday. That was an event that actually happened, this storyline hasn't but the game gives across the message that in real-life, it's OK to go and kill people probably for no reason - which is wrong.

You cannot justify war for any reason, and if its in a video game, you have to make sure that its all for fun.

Games should never give across the message that war and conflict is OK. It's not!

...In fact for some people, it'll put them under the impression that the real-life version of GRAW is a lot of fun. (and it's not, unless your pyscho)

Well, looks like he's solidified his place as moron of the year. Maybe if he actually played the game he would realize that in the GAME you are their fighting side-by-side with the Mexican Army. Fully authorized and requested by the Mexican President. Maybe, he has something against his Government, and is in fact an aspiring rebel looking to nuke the States and destroying his own country.

That is a dumb reason to blame americans. Americans never asked to be fighting Mexican rebels. The developers were the ones that chose the opponents for the US Forces.

Going by what you are saying then, my god a lot of Middle Eastern people should be furious too for the past 10 years then. Oh wait, their not because they realize it is just a game....
Is Jack Thompson your hero?

Oh, and if some of you guys really are offended by this, in the 90s, how come none of you guys said anything about the Russians getting slaughtered in games? Or in the turn of the century, why didnt anyone say anything about the Middle Eastern people? Suddenly Mexicans are in our virtual crosshairs and oh my god what a terrible crime.

Ridiculous.

I've played through the GRAW2 campaign a number of times. Not once did the game make me feel any prejudice towards the city of Juarez - let alone the country of Mexico. The Ghosts fight along with loyal Mexican soldiers in several missions - covering each others backs on both sides of the border against the rebels. One of the games cut-scenes shows a broken and beaten Juarez after battle. The loyal Mexican soldiers and the Ghosts express compassion for the town and what happened there. Unless the mayor of Juarez is concerned about protecting the integrity of rogue mexican rebels - I think this is all a bunch of political mumbo-jumbo. Infact, I'd bet Juarez Mayor Héctor Murguía Lardizábal and El Diario have some sort of political agenda for the game's seizure. I really doubt the kids I've played MP games against are making any kind of judgments regarding Juarez and the intellectual capacity of its residents.

Bad press is always press - the attention will boost sales. Congrats Ubi!

Oh, who cares, Mexico. Throughout my video game career I've declared war on countless nations, assassinated hundreds of public officials, and killed literally thousands of innocent civilians. The ramifications of this in the real world are exactly zero.

May as well declare a "War on Fiction".

Seriously? Two of the latest Tom Clancy games have taken place in the US fighting (and killing) US citizens. Yet I'm not a big pussy about it. I enjoyed it, cause it was a game. Wow, I'm floored by not only the Mexican gov being stupid, but posters on here as well.

Ciaran Gallagher, it must be nice living in your naive little fantasy world. You've got to be kidding me!

Check this out:

"having the bumper sticker 'War Is Not The Answer' on your car means it's only being seen by a part of the world's population. The rest of the world, like say people in the Middle East (just to pick a place) aren't seeing it and therefore, they don't get the message. For a large percentage of people outside of the US, War Is The Answer. Therefore, War Has To Be The Answer For Us Too because the only way to stop war is by going to war to end the war. Now examples abound of how war HAS BEEN the answer and how war MIGHT YET STILL BE the answer. Let's say you were in line to get smoked in a gas chamber somewhere near Birkenau in 1945. And then suddenly, in through the camp gates rolls an American Sherman tank. I've got a C note that says you'd be happy to see the guys in it. Well, that's what happened. War was the answer for those poor devils"

The question is,... would you still play GRAW2 if the single player campaign put you in the role of a Mexican soldier killing Americans?
