I didn't think it was awful, very much a seven out of ten docudrama.
Radcliffe can only be partly blamed for how it turned out, the script was really bad in places.
I also didn't think it was particularly anti-Rockstar. We have to remember, Jack Thompson wasn't evil, he just felt that violent games shouldn't be sold to kids. And I agree with him, to be honest, if he'd been a bit more level-headed about it he'd probably have won. I think they actually did a decent job of not portraying either side as the villain of the piece.
Apparently that whole sequence where Sam and friends dressed up like rappers and went for a stroll around Compton actually happened too.

The Housers are from London and the whole thing was based in Rockstar New York as opposed to Rockstar North. You'd be forgiven for thinking the game was developed in New York after watching this (it wasn't).
All things considered though, I think you need to give them credit for making this. It's not like shows about police, hospitals, schools etc. are in any way realistic, so I think it's probably unfair to criticise this for being a bit reductive and over-simplified.
