what's the big deal about manhunt 2

I don't get it why are they getting all bent out of shape about Manhunt 2 being violent.  Isn't the Godfather game basically the same premise might be less violent but still you can grab an item and hit someone with it by swinging the wii mote right.  That is what they are saying is so bad that the person playing the game is actually doing the violent motion.  Non the less there are games already out there were you go thru with the violent motion. Jack Thompson is a douche, if you are going to complain about a game complain about all of them they all have the person doing the motion of violence like the Godfather game or Red Steel you still swing a sword right hell even Zelda you are swinging a sword.  Just because a game shows a little more blood/gore than another doesn't mean is should be condemned when other games do the same

by the way what do you think of the Godfather game and Red Steel are they worth a rent or what:D

umm the reason is because when the first manhunt was released some kids were playing it in real life and one of em got killed and they all ran away and didnt say anything (this is allegedly what happened)  i dont have the link its a pretty old story.

and the figure when its released with motion sensing it might provoke this behavior agaii guess

but still i think its gonna be a good game

and red steel is worth a rent and god father is good to 

Manhunt 2 is much more violent than Godfather or Scarface.  You are actually acting out the killings with the Wii Remote.  It's also just a really gruesome game.  Go find some pictures or some videos of Manhunt 2 in action.

Don't get me wrong I deffinetly want to get this game. But it's WAY WAY WAY worse than red streel or godfather. In either of those games do you walk up behind a guy, take the wiimote and act shoving a crowbar up a guys hole, then lifting the wiimote to jam it up the whole into his body. In either of those games to do walk up behind a guy with plyers and move the nunchuck and wiimote toward each other to chop off a guy's privates. Does either of those games a straight razor to slice necks. In either of those games can you decapitate someones head and clip it to your belt. Does either of those games have very realistic blood effects and bruising, along with blood covering the screen when you perform an execution. I DON'T THINK SO!

But, this game looks so cool I can't wait to try it.

heres some points why Jack T. doesnt want a game like this out

• u can cut a guys head off and wear it then throw it at somebody
• u can cut a guys balls off
• i also heard u can make a dude eat his own balls after u cut them off

^^^ other then the thrid thing i said thats some of the thing u can do in this game

umm the reason is because when the first manhunt was released some kids were playing it in real life and one of em got killed and they all ran away and didnt say anything (this is allegedly what happened)  i dont have the link its a pretty old story.

Really? Source? I never heard of it.

The bigh deal is that this game is pushing new boundaries.  Once this hits the mainstream, it's going to make news.
I could see alot of people I know who don't want a Wii right now wanting one once they hear about this.  And especially when they see it with their own eyes.
I really think this game's gonna be HUGE.  I'm basically expecting it to be the most shocking game in history.  Conjuration

With proper advertise, it could become a little phenomenom. But never that huge cause of criticism and bans...

The word "ban" kind of sets me off.  Why can't games be treated more like movies?  They'll let pretty much anything get released on video, but when a game gets a bit raunchy, people start throwing the word "ban" around.  It isn't fair, and to me makes no sense at all.  If they want to make an x rated game for example, retailers should have to ask for ID, just as they would have to for an x rated dvd. 

But in conclusion:
If people were pissed off about GTA, they're going to **** when they get wind of this.

I know how you feel. However, gaming has a long way to go before being treated as movies, or any other art.
