6 ways to save Six Days in Fallujah

Don't scrap it yet! With a few tweaks we salvage the controversial Iraqi shooter

Words: on April 30, 2009

We’ve all heard the news that controversial Iraqi shooter Six Days in Fallujah has been dropped by its publisher Konami. It seems a shame that all the developer's hard work could now go to waste. But wait! With just a few tweaks to the storyline and a hasty reskin job on the character models, Six Days in Fallujah could easily be salvaged and transformed into a non-media baiting, controversy-free shooter with hardly any effort at all.



Elite US soldiers embark on a totally harmless, and in no way war-related, military training regime in Utah. Look, they're definitely in Utah, alright?

The official game of the 10 year old movie we've all been waiting for. Get ready for some clean killing fun, as George, Mark and Ice kick a whole mess of ass.

A crack team of gangstas and pimps infiltrate an undisclosed area of Middle Eastern origin to make shit happen.

A group of vigilante party boy marines storm a nightclub on a Greek resort that's been overrun by drunkards.

Aliens attack a dusty region of Earth and the only hope for humanity rests with the US and Iraqi governments joining forces to lay the smackdown on some Covenant keester.



The US have put up with the Nazis' nonsense for long enough and send their best forces into the heart of Axis-controlled Paris - which in no way resembles a certain city in an arid desert environment.

    I'm a bleedin war vet, I've done two tours of Afghanistan and one of Iraq but nobody ever asks my opinion! I'd be more pissed off with CoD4(if it weren't so awesome), which really trivialises and romanticises war. But SDIF could have shed some light on the suffering and sacrifice those lads went through but hey, once again people jump to conclusions and waves their arms in the air screaming just because it's a game. People wouldn't be making this much fuss if it were a film.

    Oh yeah, Six Days in a lift with Carrot Top - much more traumatisin

    God damn political correctness.
    Here's a game that could give real insight into the conflicts of fighting unorthodox military elements in crowded locals and cities, and maybe be able to develop a sense of empathy for the everyday passer-by within those contested countries.
    But there aren't any tits or angsty little shit protagonists, and it sparks meaningful political dialogue, so of course its just TOO MUCH.

    well did we really need another game based on modern war that takes place in a brown, dusty war zone?

    funny article, maybe now the developers will come up with an original game idea that doesn't apply to 15 year olds and middle aged guys whos favorite games are madden, army of two, gears and call of duty.

    Correct me if I'm in the wrong here guys but wasn't this exactly what the people involved in this project wanted to avoid? The trivialization of an immensely personal and brutal battle. I really hope this game gets made right. So that bystanders and outsiders like us might have at least the smallest sense of appreciation that Falluja and its consequences, for both sides, were real and worthy of reflection.

    why cancel? It is a game based on War, this was supposed to be super 1337 Realistic, and the mdia bashed it? Well, Up Yours. the media is just a dumb A$$es opinion who views the world through a crack through a door.
