It was controversial because the player could drive a car and run over human figures.
When the player hit a human in the game, they would squeal and the human would be replaced for a cross.

It was the first game of that kind, where the player was able to kill innocent humans.. Nowadays games like that are pretty more common, for example the Grand Theft Auto series.
