Cruelty in the game
Due to the fact that one of the goals of the game is to destroy pedestrians and animals, in a number of countries (for example, in Great Britain ) the game was published in a special version - people and animals were replaced with zombies , and blood with green liquid. However, there were special patches that allowed you to bring the game to a more realistic look.
