Child advocates are urging parents not to buy "Manhunt 2," a video game whose characters kill and torture using implements ranging from glass and shovels to a fuse box and a toilet. The title goes on sale Wednesday -- Halloween -- rated "mature," appropriate for people 17 and up, for about $28. In the first-person killer fantasy, the players take on the role of a man escaping from an insane asylum.
I'm starting to hate this game... it came out on CNN today... games like this one... are the ones that will be responsible for politicians that want votes to take over the game industry and have us play pacman... dumb down the gore damn it... I don't have a problem with games like this... but are these people really asking for trouble?
havent they ruined this game enough?
Holier than thou's complain about this game and the powers that be try to stifle it through the rating system, so they tone it down at the game's expense. Every review you read has something negative to say about the hasty compliance changes made to the game. And yet, after all of that, people are still going to dog the fact that the game was made. What does that say to the developers? Nothing that will allow a step forward, that's for sure. This isn't my kind of game, and I will not be buying it, but we all should defend the right for this type of game to exist without the persecution of those who would make choices for others. I'm sick of this crap.
This wouldn't be an issue if it was a NC-17 movie.. "HOW ARE MY CHILDREN GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY IT?!?!"
Don't let your kid buy it.. If he is buying it behind your back, you have bigger issues.
The government instated a Rating system for games like this. You cant change the rating system just to disallow one game that fits the rules because people who wouldn't even buy it in the first place are complaining.
don't like it? don't buy it! so damn simply omg!
it's not intended for lil kids but for a more mautre audience!
if you don't want your kids to play it, then don't buy it for them, but don't stop others from enjoying it.
Those people who wants to restrict games are a$$holes
