Manhunt 2 Rated 'Adults Only' By ESRB >
2007/06/19 20:28:56: Posted by DM
It seems that Manhunt 2 may be as gory and graphic as the buzz warrants -- the ESRB gave the game the rare Adults Only rating. Of course, it would be the exact opposite, and the rating could be a result of the buzz itself, but either way, Rockstar may be screwed -- again. This may have more of an impact than you realize, consider the following. Stores like Wal-Mart and Target make up 1/3rd or more of the total unit sales for video games. These stores also, as a policy, do not carry games rated Adults Only. Which is hippocritical in our eyes since movies like Saw and Hostel are a stone's throw away, but I digress. This could mean more monetary losses for Rockstar, who is already on the brink of big money trouble. Rockstar responded that the game certainly deserved and was developed to make the cut for the 'M' Rating. The ironic footnote to all of this is that the game is being released on - you guessed it - the family party time Nintendo Wii console! If it wasnt so scary we would laugh. Rating a product of buzz? We think so.

Manhunt 2 was created for mature audiences and we strongly believe it should receive an M (Mature) rating, aligning it with similar content created in other forms of media. We are exploring our options with regard to the rating of Manhunt 2.
