3+

I think it's an outrage that game developers are not catering for the under 3 market! How else is humankind supposed to evolve in their thumb manipulation if there aren't any games available to improve cognitave and physical learning?

ratings

they should rate the ps3 billionair or richer

SERIOUS

So is Manhunt 2 confirmed BANNED in the uk. If it is im going to mount a protest in glasgow

Crap! utter CRAP

This it the bull***** that we are fighting in the states, Luckily we haven't had anything banned but it really is a pain when government simply banns something because a few uptight pricks cant seem to get that it's entertainment. Just like movies and music, it has been around for a long time and it will not create civil unrest or change people's attitudes toward life. It's just a game.

APPEAL

"Rockstar's Manhunt 2 has been banned in the U.K. for what the British Board of Film Classification calls its 'unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying.' 'There is sustained and cumulative casual sadism in the way in which these killings are committed, and encouraged, in the game.' The company has six weeks to submit an appeal. The last game to be refused classification was Carmageddon in 1997. That decision was later overturned via the appeals process."

You're really *****ing stupid

You're really *****ing stupid, you think what you say is efficient? Do you know that in recent studies (not too recent but in 2004) it was found M+ rated games most of the time (above 80% of the time) end up being bought for kids under 14 years of age? It's easy for kids persuaving their parents to buy them this kind of games (especially in the US, land of the careless parents). Anyways I'm not against a 12 year old playing a GTA game, God of War or other M rated games that are actually mild but imagine 12 year olds playing Manhunt? if the game is played by around 1 million kids of age 14 or under you know that around 0.1% of them will be psycologically affected and it takes just a thousand mentally ill kids to affect the future of one's country. Second of all, what kind of people would find fun playing Manhunt? Only people sick of the mind. This game should be banned in every country for it's excessive grotesque content and Take Two should even be closed down for trying to sell this kind of game like if it was just another video game. Now I hear many retards saying "hey why don't we ban movies were people torture others and open them and blah blah blah", well because studies have found that movies do not affect people's mind but in a concept of a videogame it does cause the mind of a few people to link their own actions in a videogame to real life. This is the main difference, and like I said before, that 0.1% of mentally ill people can make a horrible difference and this aren't studies like they just make someone play a videogame and let him back to society or ***** you just think, this are real proffessional studies were psycological patterns of the brain are studied so results are based on facts. Now I hope retards can shut up about their stupid responses to this effective banning.

You're right, metal scrotum,

We KNOW .01% of them will become murderers. All those inconclusive studies prove it. Lemme just put in my copy of resistance and--oh noes--must kill human race! Braaaaaains...

UK ratings system is "fascism"

Ratings systems are a form of discrimination practiced by our fascists governments, this must be stopped. "Banning" games increases their popularity and encourages piracy. All human beings have the right to freedom of choice, regardless of age, ethnic background, gender or anything else, making a decision based on one of those things is called discrimination, this is wrong.
