Video Thursday: Ultra Violence Edition

by Tim

Today’s Video Thursday features videos which are graphically violent and are featuring a game which has been rated for “Adults Only” by the ESRB. Please proceed at your own discretion.

Since Manhunt 2 has been in the news lately I figured I would try and show all of you out there in Rally land what all the brew ha ha is about. Here is the first trailer which debuted on April 13th 2007.

Manhunt Trailer

Now here’s the “Bad Memories” trailer which was released on May 31st 2007

“Bad Memories” Trailer

Now finally some gameplay footage.

Manhunt 2 Gameplay

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt! Still not see what the fuss is about? Well I can’t blame you neither do I. Will an AO rating stop me from playing a game? No, should kids under 18 be playing it? The answer again is no. It’s okay that a game is not for kids but why treat the game like porn? Some retailers look at the AO rating as the equivalent to the MPAA’s rating of NC-17. Which is normally given to movies with explicit sexuality of which there is none in Manhunt 2.

I want to hear from you about this. Do you think developer Rockstar is being targeted because of their reputation? Do you think the ESRB is being too tough on the game? Should the US and Canada follow countries like Brittan and Ireland which have already banned the game? Tell me what you think.
