The game was also featured in the NBC news show Weekend, the National Enquirer and Midnight magazine. Death Race also prompted 60 Minutes to do an entire show on the psychological effects of video games. The game was met with a huge amount of controversy with the National Safety Council calling the it 'sick' and 'morbid'. The race, created by Ultra athlete and Spartan Race founder Joe Desena, was developed as a way for athletes to test themselves both mentally and physically.
