Explain how the videogame can be used in an educational context:

Este juego tiene serios inconvenientes para su violencia. Ha sido motivo de controversia en muchos países, hasta el punto de prohibirla. Pero tiene un editor de la película que abre un nuevo tipo de juego, cuando los jugadores disfrutan de la misma para tomar mejores películas de su juego. Quizás Vale la pena probarlo
