Electronics Arts is also involved, and will use its global reach to help distribute the game.'

There are games that are simulation of real life events, and those that are completely fantasy based. In most cases, it would be better if more people did the actual activity rather than the dumbed down simulation ( excluding the obvious GTA, first person shooter genre).

that being said, simulating activities that you can't actually do, or would be dangerous to do makes more sence. This might not be a popular "opinion" here, but from everything I've witnessed, its probably true.
