Common Sense Media renews Manhunt 2 boycott calls |
Listed in: News, Titles, Games Tags: San Francisco, Take-Two Interactive

In that same advisory, Common Sense Media also mentioned that it will hold a press conference later today where they will further discuss why parents shouldn't allow their children to play Manhunt 2. Just a couple of hours before the event, the NGO sent in a revised version of the press release to the gaming media.
At first glance, we believed that the revised press release contains more "fighting" words to further increase the impact of its call to parents. Aside from that, the PR material also contains an indirect response to Take-Two Interactive's initial answer to Common Sense Media's call. That part reads:
Common Sense believes that parents, educators, and other consumers would benefit from knowing what specific parts of the game were edited or removed to get the rating reduced, but information about the re-rating process has been very limited...
Given that the edited version of the game has been rated M in the U.S. yet banned in the U.K., as well as the fact that an apparently unedited version of the game is available to download online, Common Sense wants to make sure that parents, educators and all potential consumers know that this game should be kept out of the hands of all children and teens.
Manhunt 2 is scheduled to be released tomorrow, October 31. With Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive having gained the go signal of the ratings board, organizations such as Common Sense Media has no other resolved but to urge consumers to boycott the video game.

This is one of the reasons why the freedom of choice is vanishing (yet another opinion of mine). Spent my two cents.

er....
How about instead of demonstrating a total lack of COMMON SENSE and drawing attention to the most irresponsible game to ever exist (sorry but i do think manhunt is a PoS), they actually use some COMMON SENSE and educate dip***** parents who would otherwise buy any adult game for their children, about what the ratings mean!?
Idiots.
