Manhunt 2 and Rockstar...

I never played the first Manhunt game and until now had no reason to play the sequel. After seeing this video I definitely won't be playing this game. I can see why the ratings board had problems with these scenes. I am all for the first amendment and would not have a problem if these scenes were kept in. That does not mean I would ever buy or play the game. Or would I recommend it to others. At least games like God of War do the killings in a over the top stylistic way. These killings are just brutal and add nothing to the experience for me. I avoid things like this in games or movies--Saw for example. I just hope this is not the trend of things to come...

Addendum: Apparently Target has pulled the game from it stores over the violence and bad publicity. They have not pulled violent movies like Saw however. And they are selling the game online. Talk about hypocrisy...

i hear what you're saying, and my question is...what's the point? what's the point of the violence? does it need to be that graphic? not for me....
