Manhunt 2 ratings from the ESRB - Image 1 


After all the drama, lawsuits, and Houdini-ish disappearing acts, it looks like North America will be getting its cut of Manhunt 2 (PSP, Wii, PS2) after all. The ESRB site just added the game to their ratings list, along with a clearly visible M (Mature, 17 and above), which means that we'll be seeing the title pop up in all the usual retailers come October 31, 2007 (according to the Take-Two Interactive's press wire). Bloody good fun for Halloween.

With that good news in the bag, we do have to pop the inevitable question - What did Take-Two have to remove from this upcoming release just to slip it under the ESRB's previous AO rating? And more importantly, was the whole drama we've been looking at for the past few months some elaborately planned advertising ploy after all? We'll just have to find out when Manhunt 2 hits the stores.

Nothing is sinful to YOU because YOU don't think God exists.

I'm a christian and I'll still play this game.

..follow religions just groups of retards who read from an ancient book and apply those ways to your real life. ya you jew dont eat pork it can be spoiled and you can die from eating it ... idiot that was back in ancient times now we have food inspection to make sure you dont get *****ed up from eating meat. you idiot christians jesus didnt die for your sins jesus died cus he was a retard trying to start up something that is totally dumb and the romans killed him but the problem was that killing him made him more famous and now you idiots believe in him. hell if there was no one like jesus today i could walk around saying that i am the son of god you all suck my balls and you prolly would but its already been done.

Even if u dont believe in god, dont start s***. You dont have anything to say about the product so u try to start something that doesnt need to be started. It doesnt mean other people need to hear your rambling sh**.
So what if you dont believe in god, others do and most likely ur in a depression sitting in a corner of a room with a thumb in ur ass.

 » HEY, THEY HAVE FAITH IN A RELIGION, LET'S MAKE FUN OF THEM!

Grow up.
If people choose to believe in god, it's their right.
Who are you to say they go about things the wrong way?

   Re: Kami (Unregistered) - 2007-08-25
 » lol

believing in A God is fine, believing a book is just stupid living life the way some random retard thinks you should, im 100% sure god didnt write that bs bible so why should anyone go by it, just stupid ppl who cant think for themselves

 » reply to ***** god ***** religion

i dont see why being so disrespectful towards people's beliefs is funny to people. there is something wrong with you if you feel the need to come and bash religion as a comment to a manhunt 2 video game for no reason at all. I'm assuming you were dropped on your head as a baby. I feel sorry for you, really I do.

It is obvious that you have little to no education. I hope that natural selection eliminates your line from the human race expeditiously. Problematically, the scum of the human race is statistically more likely to try to spread his seed in any orifice that avails itself either voluntarily or involuntarily. Thankfully, like thier father, your offspring will likely suffer from the same intellectual lacking that you do and will likely die from substance abuse. Also thankfully, being a fool, you are more likely to contract aids and spread it to your equally minded friends and maybe relatives. It is likely that one day you and those who share your intellect will all die a horrible death from either disease or substance abuse- both of your own indirect volition.

Before you and yours perish I pray that you are not to much of a burder on society.

How is this game any different then a Movie, Tv show, and so forth. People need to stop being dumb at all levels. If they can get away with showing titties and asses on tv then there is no moral or spiritual grounds to judge this from its no way to sit here and make one thing appear better then something just as bad.

Hahaha i like that ***** !

Jack Thomson get *****ed :)

It was a big drama about a game, i think SAW III is heavier then Manhunt 2 but it has not an "AO" Rating...

 » Seriously

Stop with the religion bashing. Im an atheist but that doesnt mean i go on the internet and swear at random strangers just cos they dont think the same as me. The QJ comments are always full of *****s like you trying to act like smartasses because you have no life. This is a GAMES website. Go talk about religion other places.
