North Korea isn't to happy about how it's being portrayed in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2. North Korea is accusing Americans of hating them. With pretty bold statements like "[Americans] have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths."
Government newspaper lashes back at American "propaganda;" no word on whether Kim Jong Il enjoyed the first game.
Red Storm's upcoming mutliplatform tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 has North Korea up in arms, according to the American military newspaper Stars and Stripes. Apparently, the North Korean government is miffed about the story line and setting of the game, wherein a North Korean general diverts food to the military, eventually taking power of the country and invading China. Players join the elite Ghost Recon force as they intervene on the behalf of China to repel the attack.
Scenes from videos of the game, debuted at this year's E3, caught North Korea's attention. "Through propaganda, entertainment and movies," read a recent column in the Tongil Newspaper, "[Americans] have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths."
