Not everyone, though, is happy:

The Muslim Association of Britain called for the game to be banned, describing it as evil.

It said: "This game is irresponsible and highly racist. It demonises every other religion which isn't Christianity. People must boycott this violent game.

"Games like this poison the minds of young people."

Terry Sanderson, the president of the National Secular Society, said: "Fundamentalists on both the Christian and the Muslim side are creating this kind of nasty, extreme propaganda and aiming it at young people. I'm not into banning things or censoring them, but I think most Muslims and most Christians would recognise that this is crude and despicable hate-mongering and give it a wide berth."

Troy Lyndon, the CEO of Left Behind Games, makes an unexpected defence:

"...Left Behind is not taken from the Bible, it is a fictional story."

Perhaps he ought to have a look at the Left Behind website:

After reading the page-turning end times events in the Left Behind series, one question remains--where is this information found in the Bible? Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have given readers a wonderfully, illustrative fictional account of the last days but now it is Len Wood and Neil Wilson's turn to take the reader to where this story truly begins, the Bible. By using excerpts from the Left Behind novels and pointing readers to the prophetic passages of Scripture, Wood and Wilson have produced thought provoking study guides to provide a deeper understanding of end time events. The Rapture and The Antichrist will help make the imaginative Left Behind books a reality from the Word of God.
