That is odd... I read the article. It was laughable. See their reasoning.

Quote:

"Manhunt 2 is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall game context which constantly encourages visceral killing with exceptionally little alleviation or distancing.

"There is sustained and cumulative casual sadism in the way in which these killings are committed, and encouraged, in the game,"

We've two different classification bodies.

Oh well, freeloader is out soon and im importing this baby. Or I could still import from Aus without the need of a freeloader. Wii game sales are done once the freeloader is out. I'm still waiting on frikin Trauma Centre to come out.

What do you mean wii sales are done? The freeloader only allows region free play, yes?

Hmm... the US' kiss of death for Manhunt Wii?

Digg - ESRB gives Manhunt 2 a preliminary Adults Only rating

Just read the article this morning, that truly, truly, majorly sucks. I'm not too fond of the genre, or the game for that matter but it's a shame for Nintendo's "expanding the audiences" theory to be thrown out of the window on this one.

nintendo doesnt allow AO rated games on their consoles right?

that's just encouragement for developers to make it down to M... because a lot of stores refuse to sell AO rated games, like walmart. and in terms of games sales, wal-mart has 25% of the market. that is a whole lot of lost sales because some developer wanted a little more violence in the game than was necessary
