Violence
As it is a survive game player have to kill all enemies to keep oneself alive, shooting and killing scene is inevitable. Frequently use of weapons to kill and torture the others are high-lighted in this game.
* Demerit: This kind of violence-oriented video games inject the wrong perception to players that 'The fittest survives' where the only criteria to single out the 'fittest' is by means of violence. In return, the immature players will bear it in mind, that is definitely a potential threat to the whole society.

Exaggeration of bloody scene
As we may see, the animation in this games is quite realistic as the creators try to mimic the real world in order to give the most realistic experience to players. In fact, those scenes are too bloody and detailed. From the above picture, gore scene is exaggerated.
*Demerit: Firstly, those bloody scene give players acts as excitement in the whole playing, those brutal things become all they strive for.
Visual sexual scene
Female characters all have little clothes on that contain sexual implication.
*Demerit: Player uses different angles to peep girls' sensitive part

Dr. Craig A. Anderson
"Some studies have yielded nonsignificant video game effects, just as some smoking studies failed to find a significant link to lung cancer. But when one combines all relevant empirical studies using meta-analytic techniques it shows that violent video games are significantly associated with: increased aggressive behavior, thoughts, and affect; increased physiological arousal; and decreased pro-social (helping) behavior."
Lt. Col. David Grossman, a former West Point psychology professor,
repeatedly used the term "murder simulator" to describe first-person shooter first-person shooter games.
He reckoned that violence games are "unethically train children in the use of weapons and, more importantly, harden them emotionally to the act of murder by simulating the killing of hundreds or thousands of opponents in a single typical video game."

Retrieved 21 November 2010.
In January 2010, Gary Alcock punched, slapped and pinched his partner's 15-month-old daughter in the three weeks leading up to her death before he delivered a fatal blow to the stomach which tore her internal organs because she interrupted him playing X-Box. She died from internal bleeding after suffering 35 separate injuries including multiple bruises, rib fractures and brain damage, which were comparable to injuries suffered in a car crash. Alcock was jailed for life and must serve at least 21 years
