Manhunt 2 or Man-stunt 2?

"How bad is Manhunt 2? It's bad enough that one scene was described as a rape and decapitation of a woman where the man then attempted simulated sexual intercourse with her bloody "neckhole"."

They had to know something like that would get an AO rating. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't all a stunt to get people worked up for the game.

I personally think that they wanted the game to be banned, but they definitely wanted the game to get lots of publicity. The very fact that they submitted a version to the Ratings boards suggest to me that it was not a stunt.

In the UK, the game is played for 5-ish hours with a cheat mode enable so the reviewer can evaluate the intitial content for the game. Perhaps not the best way evaluate a game for its content, but that is what it used over here.

Now I do no know for sure if the simulated rape scene is legit or not, but if that kind of scene is included in the game graphically i.e in closeup form, then they were treading around the extreme end of what was considered acceptable. And to be fair, if it did include that sort of thing, then it should receive the highest rating possible.

In the U.K we have been in the past pretty strict when it comes to censorship - only in the past few years hardcore porn was made legal to buy in licence outlets

very clear on multiple threads regarding this game, so i'm not gonna repeat myself here.However, most right thinking people must surely question the mentality of people who would include such 'strange'content in a film, let alone a video game.I may suggest some of the Rockstar team members seek some help!I'm not joking on this occasion.

As anyone seen the film paradise lost? I find it quite funny that a game with computer generated scenes (poor ones at that)has to be banned or diluted yet you can go to the local blockbusters or what ever and see some one have all of their organs removed whilst watching it alive (yes i know its not real lol but ot does look quite convincing)

If a man is considered guilty 4 what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair 4 all my future crimes -- Prince (Electric Chair, 1989)

Careful with this one because the true enemies of freedom cloak themselves in self-righteousness in attempt to conceal the fact that they are despots. Take 2 may be pushing the limits on what the ESRB perceives as acceptable content in a videogame, but at the end of the day Manhunt 2 is still just a videogame where the images conjured on screen depict a story that never actually happened & JT's gloating seems far more sinister.
