Manhunt 2: “temporarily suspended”


In the wake of international bans and an Adults Only rating in the US, Manhunt 2 won’t make its July 10 release date, Take-Two Interactive has confirmed. The game had been expected to ship that day for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo Wii.

“Take-Two Interactive Software has temporarily suspended plans to distribute Manhunt 2 for the Wii or PlayStation platforms while it reviews its options with regard to the recent decisions made by the British Board of Film Classification and Entertainment Software Rating Board,” a representative told GameSpot. “We continue to stand behind this extraordinary game. We believe in freedom of creative expression, as well as responsible marketing, both of which are essential to our business of making great entertainment.”

While the ESRB’s initial rating of an AO for Adults Only doesn’t explicitly prohibit the game from being sold, most major US retailers refuse to carry AO games, and console manufacturers prohibit their third-party publishers from releasing AO titles on their systems.

Zolos: Rockstar is being targeted. There is no other explanation. Much or at least equally brutal and gory films are out there being released and not getting banned. Someday they will realise that most people who actually play games are over 18.....
