This is all bullsh*t! People are just too uptight these days. They try to make an arguement about everything because they want a utopian society which is immpossible because the basic instinct that we humans have is to kill, murder & do what ever is necessary to acheive a goal and these pointless arguments are affecting our rights, namely freedom of speech. I can't realy blame companies banning stuff like this to get rid of the heat from "concerned parents" but it shouldn't be this way because it's a free world and if you don't like reality than your not truly living. The world is a violent place, get used to it!!

Once again PC triumphs over all. And that, my friends, is the reason why I'm a PC guy, you get most of the games, some later than others, and you don't have to worry about Sony or Nintendo getting a metal pole stuffed somewhere down under.

I'm guessing that Rockstar will have to re-evaluate this game and take out some things to get rid of the AO rating...

Here's an update from Gamespot:

In the wake of international bans and an Adults Only rating in the US, Manhunt 2 won't make its July 10 release date, Take-Two Interactive has confirmed. The game had been expected to ship that day for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo Wii.

"Take-Two Interactive Software has temporarily suspended plans to distribute Manhunt 2 for the Wii or PlayStation platforms while it reviews its options with regard to the recent decisions made by the British Board of Film Classification and Entertainment Software Rating Board," a representative told GameSpot. "We continue to stand behind this extraordinary game. We believe in freedom of creative expression, as well as responsible marketing, both of which are essential to our business of making great entertainment."

While the ESRB's initial rating of an AO for Adults Only doesn't explicitly prohibit the game from being sold, most major US retailers refuse to carry AO games, and console manufacturers prohibit their third-party publishers from releasing AO titles on their systems.

[t0xin_ven0m]

It appears that Rockstar has "edited" the game and it will be coming out as planned. Go Rockstar!!
