Manhunt banned

[dragstar]

the "sick" PS2 game "manhunt" has been banned in New Zealand, for being..well... too sick.

whats the difference between games and films?

is it the interactive nature thats going to turn all children into killing machines?

i cant wait for the game to come out. looks sooo awesome, just hope they dont ban it here. FFS though, its only a video game. I heard they were gonna start carding people who buy games depending on the ratiing so why dont they do that for Manhunt in New Zealand.

It's really not very good. Rented it a couple of weeks ago. BORING

I bought it on Saturday and i quite like it.

It's different to most other games as it's a cross between Metal Gear Solid (stealthy) and Kingpin (nice and violent). Some of the scenes can be quite sick as there are often close-ups of people you execute, and you can go round smacking corpses with a bat, in turn making their heads spread over the floor (if you so desire)!

My main problems with it are that it's quite repetitive and although I played it for only 3 hours on Saturday, I'm already over half way through it. It could have done with some more action and been double the size!
