Video Game Review


If you are in youth ministry you have probably heard about this game. Some of my students were talking about it so I decided to rent it.
You play as Jimmy, a 15-year-old delinquent who's been expelled from seven other schools. After his mother and step-father dump him in a corrupt boarding school, Jimmy must find a way to go from social outcast to schoolyard hero. It's filled with the typical cliques that are in every school.(bullies, nerds, jocks, preppies, greasers) and out of school (townies). The entire game is filled with missions that include ditching class, running from cops, fighting the football team, picking up girls, pulling pranks, and pretty much anything else that a rebellious teenager would want to do. Thats probably why students would like the game. They can get into trouble without really getting into trouble. Although filled with cursing, getting in fights, stealing, and crude humor, the game is somewhat addicting and your students will most likely love it. It will also teach them ways to pulloff pranks and get away with it. Save yourself time and brain cells by not renting this game,and tell your students not to rent it either.
