Tarantino on the Web / Want to beat a Nazi with a bat?
By City Mouse online
Tags: Israel News 

A few weeks before his new WWII-era film "Inglorious Basterds" is set to hit screens in the U.S., Quentin Tarantino has given viewers the chance to swing a virtual baseball bat at the skulls of Nazi stormtroopers.

The keyboard catharsis puts the gamer in the shoes of Sgt. Donny Donowitz, sent as part of a group of eight Jewish-American G.I.s under the command of Lt. Aldo Raine (played by Brad Pitt) to launch a campaign of terror among the Third Reich by killing and scalping Nazi soldiers.
In the game, actor and filmmaker Eli Roth, who plays Donowitz in the film, lends his voice to the bat swinging protagonist, who curses and yells at his victims in a Boston accent as he swings at their foreheads.

Earlier this week, Roth leaked the game, which he calls "The Bear Jew game" to a blog on his myspace page. In the blog, Roth says the gamer who posts the highest score will be invited to the film's premier.
