Realism and virtuality. Carmageddon as contemporary simulacrum model

It is a popular idea that violence and addiction (long term immersion in virtual worlds) are negative outcomes of game's content and graphic. The paper explores weather those elements can serve as the starting point in research of the role of realistic representation of violence. By analysing basic structural elements of games (topography, narration and action), the paper will propose formal analyse as precondition for phenomenology of games. The game Carmageddon will serve as base for analyse of new type of simulacrum that is “action oriented”.
