Response to Dr. Jerz Review of Fat World

I share many of the same gripes about Fat World with Dr. Jerz.  When I first opened the game, I thought that this was going to be a fun/funny and politically charged game.  The political messages within this game get convoluted after trying to interact with the program.  I encountered the same troubles with the Running Course, right before I got to the finish line the game just froze.  After this initial freeze, I restarted the game only to find that the game simply would not load.  I chose my character and waited a good ten minutes to see if the game would advance beyond the loading screen, it did not.  So, I restarted the game once more and decided to create a new character and start over.  After creating my wealthy, yet severely obese female character I waited once more for the game to advance past the loading screen and once again the game froze and I was forced to give up.  I did manage to make it through most of the tutorial so I do understand the game.  The value of money in the game did bother me as well because it seemed that the cost of food in the grocery store was relatively close to the actual prices of food, however, I bought a house in the Projects for $100!!.  Even in the projects, that is a major steal, they might as well be giving the place away.  I looked forward to the game delivering an important message that I feel the designers were trying to accomplish, but the bugs in the game are just too much to get over and truly enjoy playing the game.  However, an improved version of the game does have the potential to truly reach kids to live healthier lives and reverse this fast food culture that is prevalent in America today.
