Left Behind: Eternal Forces is a game that takes place right after the Rapture.
The game begins with a long, live-action video intro, where we see people both good and bad during the Rapture.
Evil people are not taken to heaven during the Rapture, like this evil man denoted by his reading secular news.
The Christians are seen feeding the homeless, and they get taken to heaven (the homeless person does not
get taken to heaven).
Chaos ensues when the Christians disappear from earth all at once, as they get taken to heaven.
Then we see the world 18 months after the Rapture. An evil man named Nicolae Carpathia (the anti-Christ)
has created a
world government in the Christians' absense. His evil government, the Global Community,
has restored society after the chaos, unified all countries, and eliminated all war on earth.
We then see that most humans are happy that there is no more mass murder or genocide on earth
now that the Christians are gone,
but the objective of this game is to stop Carpathia from maintaining this peace,
by starting a religious war in the name of Christ at all costs.
We then see a prayer circle with persecuted, born-again
Christians with guns (the good guys of this game),
who pray for the strength to start
the war.
Then the gameplay begins.
The missions take place on maps where there are lots of people wandering around.
Every person on the map has a long and extensive "Life Story" that you can bring up and read.
Some character models are specifically good or neutral (they will do nothing to you on the streets),
and some are specifically bad (they will attack you on sight).
A lot of the existing not-bad people on earth have white Christian backgrounds. You may ask yourself, why
were they not taken to heaven? Well,
you'll read in their Life Story how college professors threatened to fail anyone in their classes who believed
in God, so the students were cowed into not becoming the faithful who were taken to heaven.
There are also several specifically evil character models in the game.
Notably, an Indian who's a computer worker:
A Muslim who's a terrorist:
A Latino ex-con who's out of prison:
A black man named Brother Mumbo who tries to convert people to a tribal religion:
And a man named Rossberg who's a controller of Hollywood:
Our review continues on Page 2, in
which we learn how, no matter how evil someone is in this game, you still have hope of
turning them into a white person by preaching to them enough.
