As any self respecting gamer would know, Reservoir dogs follows the movie and is all about robbers getting away with the goods. The game, according to the UK Police, glorifies violence against police. A Member of Parliament, Phil Willis, also went on record to say that he was staggered to find that such a game was allowed to go on sale. ""It sends out the message that the police and authority figures are there to be targeted and dispatched, desensitises people to the idea of killing and undermines normal moral values," he said.

Leicester East MP and well-known anti-videogame campaigner Keith Vaz has tabled a Commons motion arguing that the game should be banned, due to the fact it "promotes and supports the infliction of extreme violence and cruelty".

The British Board of Film Classification observed that the game has been given an 18 rating, with a spokesperson stating: "It contains nothing that is particularly stronger than things found in most 18-rated games."

Australia however which has no 18+ rating for video games has banned the game by refusing classification to it. Computer games that have been Refused Classification (RC) cannot be sold, hired or even demonstrated in Australia. During the game, players can "blow the heads off hostages and police as well as execute hostages at point-blank range with a gunshot to the head", the OFLC (Office of Film and Literature Classification in Australia) said.

It added that the game also allowed players to deploy different means to torture such as "repeated pistol whipping the side of the head with blood spray evident, burning the eyes of a hostage with a cigar until they scream and die, cutting the fingers off a hostage with blood bursts as the victim screams in pain".

The game is now undergoing classification in nearby New Zealand and awaits verdict.
