Worst video game ever, and not sure how this qualifies for federal funding. I guess you could play the health angle...

I think its great - there are more than enough M rated games to encourage the opposite... what game would you want your daughter playing... this or some M rated game that portrays women as sex toys. Heck - the game doesn't even have to be the best game ever - just a valid counter point... something that pre-teens/teens will actually play. In the end - for any game to be successful - it needs to stand on its own to feet as a good game... girls will not play it because its a abstinence game... but cause its a great game. or not.

But I'm glad to see there are a range of perspectives... and freaking out cause someone is making an abstinence game while celebrating the release of games rated M but marketed at the teen.

i'm pretty sure that the world of warcraft subscription would be more successful. *no one* ever gets to have sex again, if they're wowaddicts. #truestory

Not to use a cliché, but if ever a creation deserved to be labeled a "massive fail', this would be it. It's amazing how conservatives continue to rail against sex and advocate abstinence, with complete ignorance that they are fighting the completely undefeatable biological urge to procreate. Evolution's been perfecting sexual urges for a billion years and these folks think they can defeat it with something this lame? What massive egos these people must have.

Terrible. Why 3D? Why motion capture? Why not find people who actually know how to engage with this teen audience in real life? I'm sure it would cost less that 434k.

I would argue that this game is just as bad as an M-rated game that objectifies women (and I've seen and played quite a few). Everything in this game centers on the sexuality of teen girls, and the desire to control and manipulate that sexuality. No consideration is given to what a teen girl actually wants or safe sex practices of any kind. Sure the violence isn't there, but the societal desire to prevent teen girls from having sex and to teach them to "save" themselves (which often leads to sexual incompatibility and marital problems) is screamingly obvious. That's why you don't see a game of the same nature for boys or a game aimed at both sexes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a teen girl who really feels she wants to wait until marriage or until "the one" comes along...we all have the right to decide for ourselves. But I hate to see that abstinence is still the only socially acceptable option for a girl (and only straight girls...nothing is ever mentioned about lesbians, bisexuals, or transgendered teen girls) in our culture right now and that it's the only thing the government can bring itself to spend money on. Why can't they invest this much money in a comprehensive sex ed program that teaches birth control, contraceptives, etc, along with absitnence and awareness of GLBT groups, especially when so much research shows that absitnence-only ed doesn't work? This game is such a terrible, terrible idea.

And the graphics look like crap. :p
