Parents should be accountable and pay a heavy price for diverting the laws that help to try and prevent kids getting hold of such content. These parents in question are scum, throw the book at them, they get these games to shut up their children ultimately, while they sit around all day watching soap operas and F all else. Putting new laws in place that apply to both retailers and parental guardians is the way to go.
This game was considerd to extreme for even mature adults capable of making informed decisions themselves!. I think it's a fucking disgrace!, that there are those out there that can prevent us from playing this game and viewing similar content on all artistic mediums. These people should be concentrating on banning severely offensive material that could suprise and seriously offend the viewer in like say a film for example. When a gamer buys Manhunt 2 they know full well what kind of content it's going to have, and for the layman they should have clear warnings on the box prominantly displayed. There could also be some technology solutions and parents should be educated about all this and should put Parental Controls in action if they care about their children. {LS]
I dont think the game is coming out now anyway, I think it may still come out in europe but it looks like the U.S it is not going to get a release-
August 2, 2007 - As part of its revised revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal 2007, Take-Two has announced the delayed Manhunt 2 has been completely removed from its current fiscal year schedule, ended October 31. What's more, the game does not appear on the company's fiscal 2008 line-up.
This week Rockstar filed an appeal to the British Board of Film Classification to overturn the decision to effectively ban the game in the UK. Over here in the States, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board handed Manhunt 2 the dreaded "Adults Only" (AO) rating, meaning retailers would refuse to carry the title and manufacturers would deny it access to their consoles. Aside from verifying the delay, Rockstar has been mum about its plans for the game in North America.
