Manhunt 2

Manhunt 2 has been banned from reaching the United Kingdom and Italy. The Netherlands wants to prevent its coming here too. Me? I'm not a fan of such games. I'll wait for 'No More Heroes'.

Something tells me our good old friend Jack Thompson had something to do with this...

It's quite surprising that it wasn't banned HERE in the U S of A. I always thought this place was censor trigger-happy. But then again it might be soon. Or maybe the people charge of that realized that they would probably have to do something with the game after this ban D:.

Actual manhunt, as in at night, with other people, running around, is a lot more fun.
so are navy seals and capture the flag.
the video game has lethal weapons, i'll give you that.

I think people in the states would go bananas if the goverment directly banned something like that. Anything the goverment does in USA equals communism D:

Of course, I'm exercising my 100 percent unbiased opinion when I say that Splinter Cell is a kabillion times better.
At the least, its shadow-based stealth gameplay is more plausible then from what I've seen of Manhunt 1. >>

Good news everyone! Linky
Well, actually, not good news. Those of you expecting to play Manhunt 2 on the PS3 , PSP or Wii are in for a dissapointment. For those of you who don't feel like following the link and reading the article, I'll sum things up for ya.
Manhunt 2 has an Adults Only rating. Not familiar with it? That's probably because it's usually reserved for games containing pornographic material. For example, when it was discovered that GTA3 San Andreas had sex content in it, it was remade from an M rating to AO and was then pulled from shelves. Yeah. Manhunt 2 is going to have that rating. And as far as I know, Manhunt does not have sex related content. Which means it's going to be BRUTAL.
Continuing, because of it's AO rating, Sony and Nintendo are refusing to host the game on their systems. Wii wants to keep it's family friendly image and an AO game could certainly damage this. Sony probably wants the same thing. Who wants bad reputation, right?
Anyway, looks like Manhunt 2 was scheduled to release on July 10th for just those systems. While I was at first hopeful that it might be released for the 360, that article also states that Microsoft also refuses to have AO games on their system. That leaves the PC, and as far as I know there is no PC version as of now.
So what does this mean? Does this mean that Manhunt 2 is cancelled since none of the platforms will support it due to it's rating? I find it doubtful. The more likely result is that Rockstar games will set the release date back a couple of months, remake the game to get an M-Rating, then release it like that. Still, if and when you do play the finished version of Manhunt 2, you're gonna have to wonder what the original had to get freakin' AO... Scary man. I almost feel like a bad person for wanting to play that, heh.
There's always the case that Manhunt 2 will be suspended though. The gaming community's certainly been seeing that word enough lately... Sorry, I'm just bitter about the recent death of Spore... but that's a whole nother issue. Let's pray that Rockstar finishes fixing up this freak of a game so we can get our grubby paws on it.
