Only Adults!

The British Board of Film Classification banned Manhunt 2 from sale in UK due to its "unremitting bleakness" and "casual sadism."

Even the Entertainment Software Rating Board is ready to hand down its own most restrictive rating to the latest controversial offering from Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games.

A Take-Two representative told that the ESRB has issued an initial rating of AO for Adults Only to Manhunt 2.

The AO rating would severely limit the game's immense sales potential, as most major American retailers have chosen not to carry games rated AO.

While Take-Two doesn't agree with the idea of an AO-rated Manhunt 2, one parent watchdog group believes it's only appropriate.

A Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood demanded that the ESRB give Manhunt 2 an AO rating, saying that "harmful effects of ultra-violent video games on children will be magnified by playing them on the interactive Nintendo Wii system."

The group's announcement contained a statement from Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston, who explained, "The content of Manhunt 2 and the unique physical interaction with the Wii control combine to take [the game's simulation] a level closer to reality--we can expect that the effects of this experience will be even greater."

Looks like you’ll be one lucky bug to get this game in your hands!
