Manhunt 2

Manhunt 2 goes on sale Halloween and there are already people who are opposing it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21535818/ The game is about players take on role of a man escaping from an insane asylum. There is torture and brutal killing in the game which warranted the original an Adult only rating and this new, modified sequal a Mature rating. The ratings speak for themselves, leaving the responsibility up to the adults. Game retailers like EB Games, McVan's Video Games, and GamStop all have an age restriction policy in which they do not sell rated M and Adult video games to minors without a present adult. Every time there is an outcry like this all i can think is "give me a break." If you are worried about your child playing the game don't buy it for the child. And if the child's friend has the game make sure the friend's parent knows you don't want the child playing the game. Simple common sense. But there are people who insist on being in groups that "advocate" for the safety of children when really they should be advocating in the education of parents not being stupid.

All in all, the original game was interesting, got boring after awhile though. Definitely not suitable for children therefore don't buy it for your 8 year old. period.
