Manhunt2 should definately not be banned, the BBFC are just over reacting about the situation.
its not like other games dont encourage killing in the same sense
I can't stand people saying it shouldn't be banned yet...you haven't even seen whats in it yet or why they banned it/given AO rating. If they made the decision to ban it, it probably deserves it, and I hope it stays this way. The only "creativity" that this will fight against is pointless disgusting murdering of other humans characters in the most gruesome ways...which only psychotic people who should be locked away want to play. Seriously, I'd never trust anyone who played these games, especially with children...
YOU haven't seen what's in it either, so why call for it's banning? No game deserve to be banned especially since there are rating systems that are followed, much like at the movies. If parents weren't dumb enough to keep buying violent M rated games for their 3rd grade kids, we wouldn't keep running into this problem.
Using your logic, we need to start banning movies like Saw, Hostel, The Hills Have Eyes, The Descent, etc. because they must only be watched by psychotic people who should be locked away because they feature relentless pointless disgusting murdering of other human characters in the most gruesome ways.
People like you are only holding everyone else back. People like you disgust me because just because YOU don't approve of something means that no one else should approve of it either. Let everyone make their own god damn decisions and keep your nose out of other people's business.
How can you compare movies like Hostel and Saw to Manhunt 2? Those movies don't affect kids but the game Manhunt 2 can't. And for all those who say (well mvies haven't been banned), well not in all countries but Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust were banned in the USA an for extreme offensive and gory sadistic violence and I think it was released very late on the UK with parts removed so Manhunt 2 isn't an exception, sometimes they pass off the line in their works attracting the mentally ill consumers to make money and it's good this game got banned an he learned a lesson.
this game isnt getting banned. its for publicity. gamestop here in massachusetts is scheduled to get it in for the wii august 1.
the reason canibal holocaust was banned is because they kill real animals in front of you theres nothing fakeabout it. the literally cut a monkeys face off. and rip a turtles shell off. its messed up. and i havent seen ferox and have no plans too.
Really? I seem to remember reading an article where some kids at a theater were accidentally shown the beginning of Hills Have Eyes 2 instead of some other G rated movie. Guess who was asking questions and getting freaked the hell out? Yeah, the children. So don't even start to say that movies won't affect children.
There are over 20 movies that have been banned in the USA where only 1 game has been banned and over 10 movies have been banned in the UK were only 2 games have been banned. Now, do you think the governments discriminate against games over movies? Anyways here's a link to banned videos in differrent countries (I can't beleive they banned Borat in so many countries, it was awesome!):

ban em all
nubs
i dont wanna see people get mutilated
kinda like whats the point of scary movies?
why would u want to be scared?
you must be really confused up in ur head
or scary/horror movies must be mislabeled...
i like comedy that will make me laugh and be happy like how i like my games kingdom hearts for example one of the best games
it makes u happy :)
resident evil ur all playing it asking ur self why am i playing this? ur all tense and stuff..
I hope that that they could sort their game quickly.
It was delay since 5 days now & i couldn't wait much more.
Let good devellopers, devellop good games.
Go and make ***** the devellopers of caribean Pirates 3 but let Rockstar lives.
SAY NO TO PROHIBITION.
This is definitely just an over-reaction. This game should not be banned. Let people who are over 18 Decide whether to play this or not.
Im 20 and i played manhunt 1 and i loved it, i was so excited about this game, and now iots banned. Come on Rockstar Strike back and hopefully it won't be banned.
Thrill Kill?
It's so easy nowadays to find all the answers from Matt Stone and Trey Parker, as I quote from their famed series; "If parents were more concerned as to what was happening in their kids' lives and not what they watch on TV, the world would be a better place. Parents get so offended by the content of the media because they rely on the TV to be the sole educator and babysitter of their kids." (not that I'm trying to promote them in any way, it's just a good point)
The same goes for video games.
So yeah, as long as I'm concerned, Manhunt 2 going out to the wrong people would just be another case of stupid, jerking parents who don't give a dime for a child's life, but care of them more like a "possession" which must not be corrupted.
Parents! Stop walking days and nights outside with picket signs and go make sure that your kids are even home! No parenting means bleak childhood, bleak childhood means depression and hate, depression and hate lead to falling into the wrong crowds and drug abuse. Is that what you watchdogs want?
Its not all parents fault....
Besides, games like this should be destroyed...and once this game is, parents won't have to worry about their children ever laying a hand on it, at home, a friends house, wherever. Sometimes you can lay trust in someone else to watch your children and they'll do something as stupid as let them play a game like this....
this Mr. ... is apparently nothing more than a moron, likely one of the people who attempt to shove all of the parenting onto schools and other things that keep their kids from talking much. These games SHOULD exist because any test of ones parenting skills is very important and more importantly, kids are not the only ones on the face of the earth.
But what you say is contradictory... See this game is obviously targeted for kids mostly (just like most games no matter the rating) and the thing is such interactice mentally ill violence can cause long term problems ot the lives of many kids (which hopefully you don't want). And if you're still convinced with your opinion here this, would an adult actally waste his time playing a game like this on his free time? Obviously not. I support the ban cause this games should be kept out of children's reach.
metalspector- why is this game OBVIOUSLY targeting kids? And im pretty sure lots of adults will play this game, this isnt the 80's get with the times video games arent just for kids anymore mant adults play video games WHO DO YOU THINK MAKES THEM?!?!? Anybody that is that afraid of a video game messing up their kids OBVIOUSLY realizes they are a bad parent and cant do anything to educate their own kids
Why don't selling in China, Carabean or another country that don't ban & selling it on the web ?
If some country don't want have money from take 2 give it to others.
I'm pretty sure that it will sell
Nothing should be banned before it is sold to the masses. What sense is there to ban something that is a danger to society if society has yet to understand what is so dangerous about it. This kind of Pre judgement by a bunch of overpaid zealous buisness men does not represent the mass opinion of gamers based on what gamers are saying about this game. The truth is that this game is very much wanted by gamers and the very fact that this game is being banned makes gamers want it even more. If your under the age of 18 you should not play this game, and its up to retailers and the parents of the children under 18 to live up to that expectation. Banning the game before its even released is just a prime example of just how sloppy and inafective the rules and laws of our society really are. To say this game must be banned before its sold is just the same as saying "this game is so mature that since we know that kids are going to find a way around our flawed system of regulations and find a way to buy the game regardless of our supposed regulations that this game must be banned because in the grand scheme of things our gaming regulations don't do a damn thing".
I think if anything this ban on Manhunt 2 is a prime example that our ESRB rating system is a load of crap and useless when it comes to mature gamers wanting to play mature games regardless of content.
Well, think of this,im am totaly against censoring anything, its up to the public to decide what game they or their kids can play. sure you could censor or ban manhunt 2, but then why didn't they do the same with, devil's rejects, hostel, hostel 2, the hills have eye's 1-2, the list goes on and on. sure the movie theater screens people allowed in for minors. just like the game store would for selling copies of manhunt 2. its not like a 12 year old kid could walk in and expect them to sell it to them. nor could he get into Hostel at the movie theater.
just my 2 cents.
Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust...
they got banned cuz theres live animal killing right on the screen. no fake anything!
Go watch Hostel 1+2 and then see double the amount of gore, which is being shown through humans, not a game with cartoon like graphics. Then tell me a reason why this game should be banned? The sadistic killing in those two films blows stuff like this out of the water. Yet because one little kid goes and kills someone and played this game it means we are all going to go out and do it??
Yet another way our countries try to control us. If this game doesn't come out I'll go out and kill someone to prove my point.
Tell me you didn't say: "Yet another way our countries try to control us. If this game doesn't come out I'll go out and kill someone to prove my point."
You are definately gonna get visited by the police soon for death threatening even if it was a joke, it happenned to a friend of mine once :S

Freedom of expression and speech. What laws did this game break? none. Let parents do the parenting. lazy bums.
Seriously... they shouldn't have the right to say what consumers should buy and not buy.. play and not play... cause it's OUR money!! It's BS how they're trying to control everything we do. Give it the freakin' AO rating and release it!!
With the Wii bringing a new level of realism to games, it wouldn't be long until a violent ultra-realistic game arrived. Manhunt 2 is that, after playing the original on PS2, I was deeply disturbed and have yet to touch the title again. The next installment of the game is even worse, not playing it, but seeing the premise really is quite shocking, putting you in a realtime association with your victims, then celebrating in a sadistic style that you've killed someone. Is this really a game, or a avenue to play out sick fantasies.
But I most certainly don't agree with the censorship, it should be up to the individual to make the choice. As for parents buying their kids it (we all know it happens) then that is entirely up to the irresponsible parent. It happens with all forms of media.
I do feel sorry for Rockstar though, a huge kick in the teeth.
if you really have a fantasy to kill someone like you say, is it not better to be done in game than in real life?
Rockstar and all of its games should be banned!!!
All these idiots know how to do is put out more and more crap.
Anyone who promotes any game by Rockstar definitely needs to be locked away in a mental institution.
Its also sad that the console makers endorse this sh*t too!!
You do realize that rockstar don't only produce violent games. Ever played the likes of Midnight Club 3?
just because someone likes this types of games doesn't mean that they are crazy. That is a very close minded statement
shutup monkey boy
Go take your prozac an go cry to your therapist.
Rockstar just plain sucks balls!!!
and so do you if you promote this crap.
and what kind of games do you play Barney and friends and barbie?
any game that doesn't promote being a drug dealin' murderer *****bag
if you dont promote rockstar your a dumbass. rockstar is an awsome company with some awsome games. cannibal holocaust and ferox eh? dont comment or even speak of these two movies unless you know what your talking about. which im am very certain that none of you do. these two movies are milestones in the horror industry. Cannibal holocaust is a great movie to an extent, very involving story line that you get right into. slaughtering live animals, pretty stupid, yes but. it was in a survival situation. they ate the turtle. they didnt just kill it cuz it was fun. this topic is old and stale now people. manhunt had better be released. or i will cry. and dont knock those two movies unless you've seen them. which you havent.
your the dumbass, and as for rockstar making making awesome games then you have no idea what an awesome game is.
get a life and a job, blowhard
yo im 14 played manhunt. seen those hannibal movies the guy above me said. seen hostel and hills have eyes. and guess what? i have never ever thought about killing anything. i cant even kill a fish. so u have to be mentally ill in the 1st place god damn. also people that hunt? dude U actulay cut the deer open and gut it so stf^ about hannibal
I never said anything about those movies or characters, I like them too. but that game totally sucks ass along with all other rockstar games. and as for you being only 14 you need to rethink your gaming choices bonehead, and your parents should be more aware of what your playing, if not then your parents need counseling too.
ratings are complete bull*****.. im 16 i own M rated games, i watch adult horror films and films like saw ect.. i aint gonna go outside and start stabbing people or ***** like that but an 18 year old might and he is eligable to buy such games.. thats why ratings are dumb
