Rockstar can’t seem to get a break with Manhunt 2. After recieving a ‘AO’ rating from the ESRB the first time through and then console makers refusing to allow the game onto their system, Rockstar went back to the drawing board. They revised the game for re-rating by the ESRB and brought it down to a mature rating. But, Rockstar being Rockstar they left a way for players to hack the game and to get the uncensored version of the game. Now, ABCNews is reporting that Target is refusing to sell the game because of it’s excessive violence and the ability to hack the game for the uncensored material. Here is a quote from Target:
“While Manhunt 2 was given a ‘Mature’ rating by the ESRB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content by altering the game code. As a result, we have decided not the carry the game.”
My question is why Target is so hell bent against this game, even though they sold Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and continue to sell games that would probably not be played by any friendly monks. Although Manhunt 2 is violent, I still think that it is getting a little too much attention for it’s violence and very harsh punishments for it. But, that’s just my two cents on the subject.

They are not saying what you can or cannot play, they are a company and can sell or not sell whatever they want. If you wanna play it, but it somewhere else.
I mean buy it somewhere else hehe.
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
I simply had to say thanks yet again. I’m not certain the things I could possibly have achieved in the absence of the methods shared by you relating to such concern. It had become an absolute alarming matter in my circumstances, nevertheless being able to see the very well-written technique you resolved that made me to leap for gladness. Extremely thankful for this service as well as expect you realize what a powerful job you happen to be accomplishing instructing most people through your blog. I am certain you haven’t come across all of us.
