Hackers reinstate violence from censored Manhunt 2

Hackers have already tampered with the code of Rockstar's Manhunt 2 to reinstate the violent scenes and images thought to have been removed from the game.

The PSP version of the controversial title has been exploited less than 24 hours since the game was officially released in North America.

The PlayStation 2 version of the game had already been distributed across the internet via torrent sites, a move that Rockstar has blamed on Sony Computer Entertainment.

The game has been censored in the US in order for it to receive an M rating – and therefore a release – rather than the original AO rating it was given by the ESRB.

The illegal exploit of the original PSP code indicates that the scenes that were cut in order to secure an M rating were not removed from the full game, rather disabled, much like the Hot Coffee mini-games in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Good!

Serves them right for trying to censor something in the USA of all places. I was going to totally boycott the game when I found out it had blurs and stuff to censor.

Now I would say it may be worth a purchase if its a good game. IGN gave it a good review but you can't always go by them.

Now lets get this working via a cheat tool so we dont need to rip & convert or pirate just to see this. I only got a 1GB stick and i can't put a 1gb game on it (due note i went out and bought the game yesterday once i heard of this).
