It might not deliver the violence in the same way Max Payne or GTA do, but the central issues are still there. Two families don't like each other and end up killing each other because of it. To me it says that murder is OK if you're mad enough at someone else.
Like I said earlier, we have a very similar culture in Canada to the US. We watch the same news, watch the same movies and play the same video games. Most of Europe is also similar to the US in this way, yet mass shootings don't occur at the same rate as they do in the US because we all have stricter gun policies.
