Hatred could have been a unique experience if it was released anytime from 1999 – 2005, when such titles were a popular way to stick it to anti-video game activists like Jack Thompson. ![]() The entire point of this game felt like it was trying to add fuel to a controversy that has been dead since the early 2000s. ![]() At best it could be compared to any game that involves shooting at an animal in a cage. While the context should be a gritty, it fails at any point to make the player feel disturbed by their actions. However, everything about Hatred was built on the controversy and hype. The black-and-white imagery (with blood being the only subject to have color) should have also given it an artistic tone to what should have been a disturbing experience. On the surface, Hatred is suppose to be a dark and gritty game that puts players in the role of The Crusader as he embarks on a killing spree. Critics have denounced it for its poor taste in content while supporters have defended it by pointing out how it’s no different from games like Postal. Not since Manhunt 2 has a title caused so much controversy over its violent content.
