Save Manhunt 2! Sign the petitions!

[Mr. Shizzy]

I signed all three, with the same comment.

"please do not violate my right to choice"

I just don't care if this COULD work or help or not, i subscribe to my part as gamer. If all the Gamers whould stick together and would be more organized (represantatives etc.) we could change something. Many people are gamers, and there will be more and more, but the gouvernments just don't know it, because we are to quite.

Its utter ridiculous. We live in a democracy, why cant the government let the people decide whats right for them in matters such as this.

This is kind of bias- where is the petition to have MH2 removed from the face of the earth?

I'd sign that one.


Seriously, though, we have to send game producers (especially Rockstar) the message that there are limits to how far they can go. We impose those limits on film producers, but too often video games fly under the radar of censors.

It's titles like this that give video games in general a bad name.

i signed them all. i hope someone notices all this.

really these limits are imposed on movie too? i'm guessing from your distaste for manhunt, that you don't watch saw 1,2,3, or hostel 1,2?

those movies are just as bad as manhunt 2 could have been. your comment doesn't really make sense because you obviously haven't seen some movies that are made and distributed.

Why don't you just avoid buying the game???? Just because you don't agree with other people doesn't mean you have to ruin it for the rest of us!

I just can't understand, it's like being 5 years old all over again! I like the way that the PC users have no such hassle! Nudity, violence, swearing, it's all good. I have bought loads of violent games on my PC but I’m not a fan of games with nudity i.e. p*rn but that doesn't mean I should try and petition for the rest of my life just because I don't like it! Aaaaargh people piss me off!

If I remember rightly. The incident that got the original banned for a while, the victim had a copy of the game and the killer didn't even have a game console. Hmmm, that says it all really.

Oh don't go bringing reality into this.

But yes, the victim owned the game, and the idiot mother causing all the trouble bought the 18 rated game for her retarded little drug abusing crotch dropping.

Hell, beats actually being a parent doesn't it?

Why do we? That's like saying Saw gives all films a bad name.

Why should any game created by legal methods ever been banned from adult consumption. They hurt nobody and people like them.

Video games have NEVER flown under the radar of censors, and Manhunt 2 being banned while Hostel, Devil's Rejects, Saw are just fine is it happening again.

And don't think that this means any game is safe. Now we've accepted that anything in a video game will apparently be imitated in real life (the only possible reason for banning) expect to lose GTA (Obviously), Forza Motorsport (Encourages Speeding) and Mario (Encourages animal cruelty) too.

You think I'm joking? It's started already.

PC gamers have this exact same trouble, PC games are classified by the BBFC on the exact same grounds.

It's different in America where Manhunt 2 is legal but for some reason Sony and Nintendo themselves ban 18 rated games.

rockstar keeps making these games more and more grotesque because that is what sells. personally i like playing games with the most gore that i can find. i love it. and i think that if a company likes to produce games that i like to play then they shouldnt be punished for it. thats why we have the ratings system. im 23 years old. kids arent the only people who buy video games. everyone buys video games now. thats like trying to make porn illegal because kids might be able to get ahold of it. thats plain retarded.
