Children that copy these actions are in response to their personality, not the game, if you kill someone than your obviously either have no concience or your just plain stupid or you have a mental issue. My brother has brain damage and he has played it, he doesnt just murder people because he saw it on a game. Have you ever thought of movies like saw, texas chainsaw massacre or Dawn of the dead, those are even worse. But do people go into the street with a gun and shoot people down because they think they are zombie(because they are walking slugish) or tie people up and rip their teeth out?THIS GAME DOES NOT CAUSE MURDERS, THE PEOPLES PSYCHOTIC MINES DO, THIS DOESNT EVEN HELP THEM, OR GIVE THEM IDEAS, ITS, JUST, A, GAME!Just release it, no one with a right mind would copy these action.

According to Wikipedia, some parts from the first manhunt game were based on things which occurred in Texas chainsaw massacre [a true story]. I'm sure during those days in which those incidents happened, nobody (and that includes Leatherface) owned a game with violent material. I'm sure Jack The Ripper and Ed Ghein didn't own such either so don't blame it on the game, its just common sense, ITZ A GAME DON'T COPY IT! Just because Spiderman could jump off buildings, do we see children doing that? No! Just because Mario jumps on opponents do we see children doing that? No! Just because Zelda is going around slashing people with a sword doing we see children doing that? No! Just because Naruto beats people up do children do that? No! Just because a murder occurs and the murderer owned the game it doesn't mean that it was the game's fault. It's common sense and it's the same rule that applies for movies: PARENTS NEED TO CONTROL WHAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE PLAYING!!! It's the person not the game that is the cause. It's the persons on vulnerable/deathly personality that shouldn't be exposed to the game in the first place. If you're not vulnerable or have a deathly nature then play it. HONESTLY I HAVE PLAYED THIS FOR AGES AND I JUST DON'T GET HOW THIS CAUSES MURDER BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD THE SLIGHTEST INTENTION TO KILL SOMEBODY YET!!! JACK THOMPSON CAN GO SUCK A DICK AND GROW UP THAT MOTHERFUCKING DICKHEAD! Xenon, Pyramid and swanny are absolutely right.

Blame the sick mentality of people and not games/movies. I've been playing all kind of games since over 15 years and have never killed or tortured someone ^^ Yeah, right… i guess before the world had Videogames and Movies there was no war, no torture, no murdering etc…. what a bunch of crap.

I agree with every person that advocates th right to freedom of choice in this matter. Your Moral Values dont agree with video game violence? Well, your morals are not mine, so dont buy the game. I enjoy the fact that a lot of people say the game is perverse, yet I can guarantee at least half of them go home and put on some type of twisted beastiality movie. Everyone is a critique for everyone else but themselves.

The first scene shocked me but that was why I bought this game. I wanted to play through a horror movie. Look, gamers are smart enough to know the difference between reality and fantasy. I have even played Mortal Kombat for over ten years and the last Manhunt repeatedly and I've not killed anyone. I've not had any fights probably because I HAVE been playing so many video games. IT'S A GAME! There is a CLEAR difference between punching someone in the face on your TV and doing so in real life. All this drama while we live in a country that allows freedom is a bit hypocritical. Grow up. Let people decide for themselves what video games to play. Besides, you watch, in the near future, games, even AO games, will be available for download onto your gaming console. I even foresee the porn industry's involvement in video games. There's money to be made and a market, all that is needed is to make the games available. Something video game outlets won't obviously allow. I bought the game.

Second i think that this is a form of censorship and that it is a shame that rockstar had to clean up there piece of art. My third and last point is i bet that rockstar cut a deal with the esrb. Rockstar would show them the game and show them the most violent parts and the esrb would give them a AO rating. Then that would make the esrb look good and it would give rockstar enough press so the game would sell even better. Oh and i am going to buy the game in support of rockstar.

Does this mean we should ban all games that SCEE approves? Since they have been proven to be the source of the leak on the internet, and therefore the ones responsible for making it accessible to our children in a way that is un-regulated by any authority.

However i think 9 out of ten times the parent is to blame on the behavior of their child. If their child does kill someone in the same fashion seen on a movie or a video game that they are playing they go strait to the move or game. They never say hey i am a crappy parent that obviously wasn't in my child's life teaching them moral values of simple right and wrong. http://www.topblogcontent.com/2007/10/30/manhunt-2/ I have not played the video game.

I'm also not a child, homicidal or otherwise perverted. Happens to be that horror is something I enjoy, and being that games provide ME more entertainment value for the dollar vs. movies. It's a new world - get used to it, and the kills have been obscured, and the game is not for children, and the Wii at least has parental controls. I will buy this game – today.

If you torture or kill someone you have deeper problems than a video game. Manhunt 2 will definitely be used as a scapegoat for some future murder. “Some kid will then kill/torture another and it will be blamed on this game but for once they may actually be right.”
