The age restrictions are their for a reason.
I can't say i agree with baning the game from being released but Euro rating systems are much more strict than US.
Though i could have sworn in Ireland at least they could have not sent the game to the rating board and still tried to sell it.
But without the rating VERY few stores will carry the game.
The first manhunt almost didn't get released their anyways so this isn't much of a surprise to me.

Manhunt 2 has received an AO rating from the ESRB. I just posted a news story about it.

I was going to post that, but instead I was moving guidelines to general discussion, which by the way all of you should look at in The Thinktank. These guidelines will shape the future of submissions for RF Generation.

I still do not understand why people try to correlate violence with video games. The following is proof positive that violent crime has dropped since violent video games were released. I do not claim that the drop in violence was caused by people playing violent video games. It is, however, obvious to me that violent games are not a source of violent crime.

Hey Postal 2, that was a good laugh.
Honestly I don't think games should be band. Instead stupid parent's should learn to read and do maths so when their kid is say 14 a game rated R 18+ = DON'T BUY IT FOR THEM.
I would go on and continue to say it is as stupid as buying your 14 year old smokes, but sadly we have parents stupid enough to do that to

I think this is another move from the government and the ESRB to ruin video games for the consumers.
Although I do also agree that violence shouldn't be made easily accessible to kids that are like, 7-12, but once you get to 13 and older, you can pretty much tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and if you don't, then there's something wrong with
you
, not the people making the games.

I'm sure they are missing out on a huge Japanese market right there, I mean with the added interactivity with the Wiimote, I'm sure the developers are practically clawing at Nintendo's door.

Personally it's inconsequential whether this game sees the light of day since I only use retro systems but it does anger me since I really do loathe censorship in any form. This sort of thing smacks of fascism and Big Brother. All semantics aside about it being an immoral slaughter fest it still takes the ability the chose out of peoples hands. Should movies like Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre be banned on account of being so violently oriented? How about Stephen King's books? Should there be a huge gathering in the town square where everything "bad" is heaped upon a blazing bonfire all the wile cheering self righteous slogans and chants?
I look at in the same fashion as the subject of pornography, which I do not patronize and find distasteful, but if you don't like it then don't buy it. Just don't force your opinion on everyone else and take the decision away from them.

This is nothing more than Nintendo or Sony just protecting their own collective asses that's all. We live in an age of ambulance chasing and sympathy lawsuits, this removes the slightest chance that someone could file a lawsuit or tarnish the images of the machines based on ignorance.
They know as well as the ESRB does the amount of people that follow the ratings system is a much lower % than it should be. It's no different than guns, cars, movies or music. They feel the need to protect the minority by restrictng the majority. The truth is if "the establishment" didn't do it, no one would. How many members here with kids would let them play it? This is for you, so when they go over to a friends house, they aren't playing it anyway.
Besides I'm sure this is just a publicity stunt. They probably already have the second "M" rated version ready for approval, just waiting to unleash it when they think no one will suspect their ploy.. It will sell more than the first one did, because people among many reasons, will buy it just for curiousity to see what all the fuss was about.

I know I wouldn't let my kid play it now (he's 6). But at 16 or 17 I would hope he knows the difference between a game and reality.

I guess
Rockstar suspends release of 'Manhunt 2'
Thoughts?
Another article states "They will probably spend $1 million or so to rework the game"
