* ObviousBeta: All the games are loaded with crippling bugs, A.I. issues, and graphical errors, to the point where they have been compared ''unfavourably'' to ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}''.

* ObviousBeta: All the games are loaded with crippling bugs, A.I. issues, and graphical errors, to the point where they have been compared ''unfavourably'' to ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}''. It has the hallmarks of every poorly designed game, including poor textures and draw distance, random crashing, an incredibly short length of two levels, braindead enemy AI, and a single machine gun that isn't properly animated.

shoehorn as antisemetism was an issue long before this game was released


* HarsherInHindsight: Antisemitism was far more of a fringe phenomenon in the early 2000s, but more recently (especially since Donald Trump became president) it has migrated further into the mainstream. Also, mass shootings against Jews and other minorities weren’t entirely unheard of when the game was made, but they too have become more common (or at least more widely reported on) since then.
** A more specific example: the game was an early example of media featuring the “Happy Merchant”, an antisemitic cartoon by “[[PunnyName A. Wyatt Mann]]”. At the time it wouldn’t have been well-known outside of hardcore Nazi circles, but this cartoon and others by the same artist has since been widely shared and recycled into memes on imageboards and social media. One version was even posted on Twitter by former presidential candidate Ron Paul.
*** “Mann” has since been revealed as a pseudonym of Nick Bougas, a prominent figure in [=LaVeyan=] Satanism. UsefulNotes/AntonLaVey, ironically, was of Jewish descent himself. There were quite a few [=LaVeyans=] who dabbled in Nazism, but they seem to have done so “for the lulz” (or the inherent transgressive shock value) rather than because they sincerely subscribed to its tenets. Some branches of Satanism view social disruption or chaos as a desirable end in itself, and extremist ideologies like Nazism or Islamic radicalism are viewed as merely a means to that end. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Myatt David Myatt]] is a particularly well-known (non-[=LaVeyan=]) example of someone with this philosophy.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The folk at Resistance Records ''really'' want you to get that Neo-Nazis are good and Jews are bad. On top of the gameplay where you play as a member of the former and murder the latter, the game's soundtrack is constantly screaming lyrics at you like "One nation! One race!" and "Fight for a white country!", and every wall is plastered with Nazi imagery and racial caricatures.
