Assault Rifle Turns Google Street View Into Google "Shoot View" Game

At this point, Google Street View lets anyone with Internet access take a gander at pretty much every street in every major city in the world. BORING! Thankfully, some clever web developers have put this technology to good use, by adding a virtual machine gun to the mix. Behold Google Shoot View, which lets users "explore the beauty of the world's cities, towns and villages through 360-degree street-level imagery... and fire a M4A1 assault rifle." Here's video showing how it works (not that it's particularly complicated, you just point and shoot):

One more virtual way to indulge our insatiable bloodlust: just what America needs! We don't really have anything more to say about this, except, well, here's the Meatpacking District. Happy hunting! [Via Kottke]

  • High realism. No multiplayer or co-op mode. IGN gives this a 3/10

  • Don't see what the fuss is about. If you missed "Shoot View" and want to experience being a renegade spy, check out Rogue Agent for iPhone.

  • TheRealCannibal

    cannot be unseen

  • Start here:  58 East 68th Street New York, NY 10065

  • EyeCorporations

    This is remarkably stupid.

  • Roger_the_Shrubber

    What a great period in history to be a psychopath.

  • I really usually only want to shoot cars whose alarms are going off, so I guess this isn't the game for me.

  • luke_1

    You have to wait for the car alarm expansion pack.
