Manhunt 2 Banned in UK. 'Adults Only', in the US.

I never really minded the ESRB until people started checkind IDs for younger gamers trying to buy M-Rated stuff.

So dumb.

So dumb.

I don't understand why what I said is so crazy, there's a narrative to GTA...it's like playing a mob movie.

Manhunt is completely pointless, you just go around killing people, there isn't even a score system...there's no skill involved either.

I agree.

I tend to lump State of Emergency in that bullshit category also

Ha.

I think thats when rockstar realized the appeal of GTA3 wasn't the senseless violence, but rather the gameplay (which is fun).

Their issue is Nintendo, not the retailers BTW. Ninty won't allow AO games on their consoles (or, at least they didn't with SNES/N64/GCube).

Ideally, they should release both AO and M versions of the game. Let people order it online if they want the real game, but also throw out some crap so it rakes in retail cash.

Looks like they're sticking with that policy for the Wii.

I still say its incredible that they managed an AO rating with just violence.

An AO rating soley because of violence seems a little over the top to me. Violence for the sake of violence is stupid.

And sony bans the game as well

what the fuck is wrong with them... cannot their damn consoles be used by adults ? Specialy sony with their ps3 price.
There is no point in such censoring, i love playing evil but on nintendo machine and sony machines they forbid it now if it means killing gang members in a gruesome way.

There s only one step before they ban The Running Man movie, mob games and two before they ditch mortal kombat.
