What's your opinion on this controversial game? It received an AO rating by the ESRB, and BBFC in the UK rejected it, essentially banning it (lol government censorship). Then the edited version received an M by the ESRB, and still unclassified by the BBFC.

The BBFC cited "casual sadism" as its reason, and the game DOES look pretty gruesome. I mean, AO ratings are practically unheard of outside of sex games.

EDIT: The edited version changed several things:

[Wiki]
"On 11 September 2007, IGN released a comparison between the Adults Only-rated version of Manhunt 2 and the censored, M-rated version on the Wii.[29] Although most content has remained unchanged, a nasty murder sequence in which the player castrates an enemy with pliers (similar to the one shown uncensored in Hostel: Part II, which got a 'R' rating by the MPAA) has been removed, and major death strikes have had blur effects, hue filters and darkening applied to obscure the animation.[30]"

Really, I think the game is disgusting.

When you sit back and think about it, it's kind of pathetic that we get kicks out of regular war games and shooters, and this game just tips the iceberg. I sure as hell wouldn't be happy with myself if I found I was getting excited and pleased over ripping entrails out of people in high definition.

It's just excessive, and I'm surprised people actually get around to making the Manhunt games.

My opinions being said, I won't be lobbying around requesting the game being banned off the face of the earth because I don't have nor want any say over other men's decisions, but my kids sure as hell won't be touching the game or games like it when I have them.

I agree, Manhunt 2 is pretty damn sick. War games are fine because they actually have a plot. Manhunt, however, is just a sick, twisted, mindless murdering game.

I generaly like Rockstar games, but I agree manhunt 2 looks pretty sick. I have the wii, and the fact that you swing to kill someone makes me shiver... Yeah, the wii is actually that imersive. Now if Rockstar came out with gta for the wii I'd be happy!
The wii is amazing, and so is Guitar Hero III! And NINTENDO is sooooo much better than all the competion.

It's been getting mediocre reviews.
