It was only a matter of time before these maggots wormed their way back into the media, with this same old song, while hastily forgetting the results of their last outcry over CCE. It ended with egg on their face.

Protect the children, the sky is falling. Manhunt 2 is gonna sell loads now but was gona anyway cause it look good and its from the infamous lot that did GTA.

I hope Wii Manhunt is really good.

The only point I would like to drive home to these attorneys is that M-rated games (such as Manhunt) should never be able to be put in the hands of minors. But that is not Nintendo's fault or Take2's responsibility. It's the store-owners responsibility to make sure that the ratings are enforced.

I'd just like to point out a couple of things.

1st, M rated games (this will be that for sure) are not to be sold or given to minors in the first place.

2nd. If parents are concerned about this, then they can set the parental controls in the Wii, and thereby limit the games their child can play based upon the rating.
If a parent set the rating at Teen, and the kid puts in a Mature game in, it won't play. As easy as that.

I'm sick and tired of the goverment stepping in because there are a few lazy parents out there, that can be bothered with parental controls, or even with caring what their kids play.

I'd never let my kids play that game, but I do know alot of other parents that wouldn't hesitate to buy it for their kids. Seems to me that since providing alcohol or tobaco to a child under age is against the law, so should be providing M rated games to a minor. Banning the game is not the solution, holding retailers and parents accountable is.

I know that are trying to keep these games out of minors hands. They have a ratings system on games there, but if those that are parents choose to ignore it, that's their problem. Stores do their part.

I think perhaps they should ID people stateside when they buy mature games, if its bothering them so much.

Perhaps adopt our BBFC system too, only thing that goes against that idea is most games being released there first.
