Mike Smith from Yahoo! Games reports that the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, Rajan Zed has been making a bit of a fuss over what’s being called the first console game developed entirely in India. His reasons for denouncing the game seems to have to do with the small fact that the protagonist of the game the player controls is Lord Hanuman, a key figure in Hindu mythology.

Rajan Zed explains in a press release that, “”Controlling and manipulating Lord Hanuman with a joystick/button/keyboard/mouse was denigration. Lord Hanuman was not meant to be reduced to just a ‘character’ in a video game to solidify company/products base in the growing economy of India.”

Mike Smith ends the article by quoting an actual review of the game by reviewer Sameer Desai which proclaims the game as “…without a doubt, the worst console game I’ve ever played, and I’m pretty sure the worst game ever to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment.”

At least Lord Hanuman can take heed in knowing he’s not the only mythological character from a religion to be exploited in video game form. Hey at least the game managed to spell his name right, the same of which can’t be said about fellow Hindu mythology figure Curl-er Kali. What a fate to befall the Hindu goddess of destruction. Reduced to serving more recent fictional monsters and having her name butchered beyond recognition. – The Ben
