Manhunt 2 May Never Be

The distributor of Rockstar's game Manhunt 2 announced yesterday that the game may never become available for purchase due to bans in England and Ireland and a rating in America that would keep it out of many big retail chains. Yes, censorship is alive and well in the 21st century. I hope the game is either leaked or outright released through other channels so those that really want the game can do so. Or hopefully Rockstar Games will alter the game so that it appears as a PG game, is allowed to be sold worldwide and then you merely type in the code or apply a patch to unlock all the elements the game intended to have.

The intent of the creators of this game was that it was to be like playing a game in a horror movie. And if anyone has seen a horror movie these days, they often contain graphic, cruel and sadistic elements...but a person is free to go to a theater and view those horrific scenes with little to no problems...seems like a double-standard to me.
