Maybe they just changed the color of blood to green, and changed the saw into a lollipopp, and the guns into candybars. that would make a T rating right there. ;)

You continue to appall me with your interpretation of "freedom of speech." This is a multicultural society, this is not an individual's anarchist playground. There are rules, standards, and responsibilities to follow. Stop exaggerating the censorship and just be happy the game is finally worthy of a release.

I know it was exaggerating but ESRB's move and Sony/Nintendo's banning of AO games for their consoles forced RockStar to censor its own game and I am strongly against censorship. (And more than hate it)

But I'm happy to see this game finally being released :)

I hope they release some kind of director's cut.

I'd pay double the normal price for that original version.

here's an interesting note.

A few days after the ban I was talking to a buddy who works at Blockbuster. He was totally confused when I talked about Manhunt2's release date being put on hold.
According to Blockbuster's corporate dates, Manhunt2 never even had a summer release. He told me (2 months ago, remember) it was set for an October release!

I didn't think much of it at the time, Blockbuster is always fukced when it comes to their gaming division (although, I remember thinking at the time, that the discrepancy was WAY off, even for Blockbuster.)
But, now we have an "official" October release date scheduled, one that Blockbuster had several months ago, back BEFORE the ban even happened!

The whole thing is just a little too strange to digest and makes it hard to write off as mere coincidence.

The same thing happened to me and a friend who works at Gamestop.
Funky sh()!

I didn't make the connection until now.

Don't they have loads of those Dating type games for the Wii in Japan?

I do recall a game called Killer7 which got attention from Thompson due to adult content.

We must have different opinions on what is adult. Besides the already named Killer 7, Nintendo has also recently release Resident Evil 4 (twice) and Scarface.

We're a long days away from the bloodless Mortal Kombat.

I would think that R* would do their best to leave the core gameplay unchanged and instead change particular scenes/events in the storyline that attracted a lot of negative attention such as the brothel.

I agree and will add that R* has a problem with understanding their own claims of artistic expression. Fortunately for R*, the majority of people have no idea what should be considered artistic expression and what should be considered irresponsible propaganda and harmful/degrading media. Any self respecting, educated, and creative artist would agree that Manhunt 2 is not art. If you don't believe me, ask some.

The problem is that art is created for interpretation and some people honestly do not have the necessary intellectual ability to interpret such art in a constructive and artisitic manner.
