Unionists want Mafia 3 banned over IRA mission

New game Mafia 3 hasn't getting the best reviews and now it's under fire from an unlikely source - Unionist MP's have taken issue with its content.

Unionists want Mafia 3 banned over IRA mission

Mafia 3 is a big open world game set in the made up but pretty much New Orleans setting of New Bordeaux. It's intended to be a fictional but hard-hitting take on what it was like to live in that time, including large amounts of casual and horrific racism towards the main character of Lincoln Clay.

Now another aspect of the game has come under fire from a most unlikely source - Northern Irish Unionists. It's all down to a side mission in the game called IRA Don't Ask which sees you tasked with collecting some cars to be used in bombing runs in Northern Ireland. This comes from your NPC ally Thomas Burke, who is himself a walking, drinking Irish sterotype.
