CCFC wants you to tell ESRB Manhunt 2 is for Adults Only |
Ó
It turns that the "horrifically violent video game" being referred to by organization Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) is indeed Manhunt 2. Yesterday, the group claimed that it will be launching various campaigns to stop the said title from being marketed to children.
According to CCFC Co-founder Dr. Susan Linn, their group just sent a letter to Entertainment Software and Rating Board (ESRB) President Patricia Vance urging her to give Manhunt 2 an "Adults Only" rating. Not only that, the organization even launched a letter-writing campaign encouraging parents and "concerned citizens" to express their concerns to ESRB as well.
If you click on our Read link below, you will be directed to CCFC's petition page for the campaign. You will find there a template letter which you can edit that will be sent to ESRB. To authenticate each letter, the page will be asking you for personal information like address, zip code, and full name. A part of the letter reads,
Please give this unprecedented combination of video game violence and the interactive Wii platform your strongest and most unambiguous rating. Anything rating less than AO will signal ESRB's endorsement for marketing Manhunt 2 to children, and pave the way for future brutally violent games designed for Wii to be targeted to children as well.
Earlier today, we learned that authorities in UK just banned Manhunt 2. However, despite all these, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive as well as Nintendo itself have yet to issue official statements.

While I don't believe that giving the game a Mature rating would "signal ESRB's endorsement for marketing Manhunt 2 to children, and pave the way for future brutally violent games designed for Wii to be targeted to children as well," I do agree that based on what I know of the game, Manhunt 2 should be rated AO. Just based on the name, I have no idea what this group's goal has to do with violent video games.
y? because i am 1 on the sane people who has seen media influence other people (can anybody say cosplay?)
We in the Uk should not suffer cos some old gits can't cope with some pixelated violence. If you don't want kids to buy it, put an 18 rating on it, don't ban the bloody game!
