    While I support the right of people to decide for themselves what they want to play and feel is appropriate, I wouldn't be caught dead playing.

    Guffaw.

    After watching that video, I'm embarrassed to call myself a gamer. Disgusted doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about it.

    They should have named it "Jack Thompson's MURDER SIMULATOR".

    Hopefully he drops dead when he sees the videos - ONE good thing may come out of this game after all.

    Wow do those graphics suck, this looks like it was made at the same time as the first Manhunt. Also that got boring like three min. in to the video clip, and some of those kills look impossible. Glad to say I learned my lesion on the first one, I would not touch this game with a ten foot clown pole.

    I guess im the only one here who kinda enjoys the game. I loved the first one.

    The story is you play as a guy in a insane asylum and you excape with this other dude and your trying to get away from people with the other guy you excaped with and hes calls it "THE PROJECT" or whatever yea bassically some stupid story line. I like the game its better for people like myself to take my anger out on a game instead of myself or someone else.

    I don't think its that gory sence they toned it down a bit. Oh well differnt taste in differnt people.

    As I must say I don't see a guy named master Cheif guy running around fighting of aliein things on a planet that don't excist.

    I know im a shitty speller i doubt i spelled that right. So i don't need to be told that and im sorry. But as everyone else tried to protect GTA and movies and stuff its just a game.

    :cool:  Im not agruing im just saying.

    The original, and I'm giving it a huge benefit of the doubt here, had -something- to say, you know? Not a great message, but, you know there was a reason and you could call it social commentary, but it had something. Like Unosock says, this is just pornography, nothing more, nothing less. With the bad rap games get already, it's extremely irresponsible of Rockstar to do it. I'm actually glad it's not passed cerification here and thusly will not be on sale for the timebeing.

    Your right, and I don't want people on here to think im some sick perverted ****** or something along those lines but its just a game its not like im gona go rip out some ones nuts of with a pair of pliers its a game. Yea its a lil over the top and I understand why "KIDS" shouldnt play it but im 20 I think i can decide for myself.

    It makes no sence to me that people like movies like hostel but then it comes to a video game its all of a sudden HORRIBLE and WRONG. People look at vidoeo games are just for just kids but a kid can get his or her hands on hostel just as easy as picking up a controller

    First, just because people don't like the game, don't get defensive.
    The comparison you made to Halo is far reaching.
    You bought it, you liked it. I might have found it tasteless but that doesn't mean I need you to feel the same.

    When you say it was toned down, what do you mean?
    Toned down from what? Castrating a man with a pair of pliers seems "toned up" to me.

    An aside:I can't see anyone spending $50 on this when Mario Galaxy is coming out in days.

    Sorry for be defensive people just look at the killings in the game then the actual stealth of the game.


    I don't like halo soo i don't really care about it so and i don't see how its any differnt your still killing things

    And toned down means that it could have been worse.

    and this game isnt 50 bucks its only 40 or even the ps2 one is 30

    No. I don't think a movie like Hostel or any of the Saw sequels (maybe even Saw) are "ok", I think they're pretty worthless too.

    It has a story. It has a context. It isn't out to titilate (well, maybe Cortana, she has NO CLOTHES! :eek:  ). Gunplay is pretty far removed from Manhunt style executions.

    You know Hostel has a base, right? Yeah, it wasn't just about mindless killing.

    The things that happen in that movie happen in real life. People are imprisoned, others pay to torture them. Sick, but it's true.

    Manhunt. Guy has to escape from an insane asylum. Ok, that's fine. He has to kill people to do it. Yup, pretty much a given. He has to castrate them with pliers, beat the shit out of them with a manhole cover, or rip their skull out. Then he decides to kill everyone in the city. Uh-oh. Anyone else see a little red light going off here? I sure do.

    The point I'm trying to get across is that you shouldn't make a game to kill just for the hell of it. Maybe if done in a Splinter Cell fashion, this game would be amazing. The way it was done deserves the Adults Only rating it originally got.

    These are just my opinions. Whether you agree with them or not is your choice.

    Wait, so you bought this on your own?
    I know I've said it before, but that is just wrong.
    You might look old enough to buy it, but the sales assitant should have checked.

    But like Twist said, you have went up a few levels :p

    How many levels did he go up?
    Did he gain any new spells?
    Can he turn the undead?

    I'll probably rent it. I own the first one having bought it on clearence not knowing it was a snuff game, but I've never gotten past ten minutes of the game. The original just isn't fun to play so I doubt the sequel has improved on that.

    I just watched a couple of the videos on Youtube. Even with the filters on, thats fucking disgusting. I also found a shovel death without filters, thats just plain fucked up.

    I know a friend of mine loves these games (makes him feel tough apparently), so I know he'll be pissed he can't get it. I'm sure the Wii version would be even worse. I am glad for once that a game got banned.

    But yeah, Kudos to you Onesock, if the target audience is turned off by it, that should give the makers the message.
