Killing corrupt officials game a huge hit in China

AN online game that a Chinese local government set up in which players can torture and kill corrupt officials is proving a roaring success.

Incorruptible Fighter, developed by the government of east China’s Zhejiang province to teach people about the perils of graft, was launched just over a week ago and is already so popular that it is being redesigned to accommodate more players.

“I feel a great sense of achievement when I punish lots of evil officials,” one gamer, surnamed Sun, was quoted as saying.
