Rumor: Target pulling Manhunt 2 from shelves? |
Ó
Reports have come in that Target is pulling Manhunt 2 (Wii, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2) from their shelves. A member of the Evil Avatar forums, Dr. Finger, said that he got news of an internal memo spreading within the company which states that every branch will stop selling the game and to refuse all future deliveries of the title for all systems.According to the rumor, this action is being taken because of the game's violent content and the unfavorable media coverage the game has been getting. If you missed our previous coverage, you may already know that various groups and individual such as Common Sense Media and Jack Thompson have been launching campaigns to boycott the game.
If this rumor holds true and you wish to pick up a copy, other major retailers such as GameStop, Best Buy and Circuit City still have plans of carrying Manhunt 2. Hopefully, Target will release an official statement about the rumor soon to prevent gamers from having to spend time wondering if this shop will still continue to carry the game.

What is the point of having a rating system if we are gonna have to go through this garbage every time something similar is released. Frankly, I'm irritated that Rockstar gave in to them and edited the game as they did.
If society (and Jack T.) want to go after something to make their weak little hearts feel better then they need to go after the companies selling mature rated games to kids instead of the companies making the games. Kids sneak into R (read Mature) rated movies all the time but no one is going after the movie studios or the movie theaters.
Get a life and police your own children people. Rockstar needs to find their testicles and MAN UP next time this PR game begins.

Do me a favor and go back to Northern Pakistan where you won't have internet. You will blend in perfectly with the other brainwashed people and can beat all the women, children and men that have ideas outside of yours. Don't forget to scream Glory to God as you beat the unholy. Nothing says godliness like a bit of the old ultra violence, eh?
Those of us who like freedom will stay here and support our freedoms by either buying that which we deem fit for us and ours or not buying what we deem unfit.
Good luck in life.

I mean I remember the only games that are supposed to recieve AO ratings, is if it had porn or nudity, sex and such in cinematics but this game doesnt have that stuff in it and its gory and such but this does not deserve an AO rating nor does it deserve to be taken off of the shelves cause if this game deserves an AO rating cause of the gore factor and crap, I gotta say thats a load of crap.
Theres Soldier of Fortune 1, 2, and 3 for PS2, Xbox and Xbox 360 and that games REALLY REALLY GORY but it still has an M rating and you can shoot anyone anywhere and all this blood comes out of the places that you shoot like the butt and alot of other places but that game doesnt have an AO rating.
I think this is a little stupid for a game like this to have an AO rating cause of gore, I just think Jack is doing this cause of the sex mini game in the San Andreas game, when it first came out.
I thought that the only games that need AO ratings are nude, sex type games like Leisure Suit Larry NOT BLOOD, GUTS AND GORE WITH CUSSING!
