I have got to say this is probably one of the dumbest, most slanted reports on a game that I have ever seen.
The reporterette calls it a video in the introduction not even a game. And then in the report the kid they are interviewing is using a first gen XBOX. Manhunt 2 is on the WII.
And then there was the disclaimer, “Some of this material might be GRAPHIC in nature.” COME ON!!!! I’ve seen more graphically disturbing images watching cheap movies on the Sci-Fi Channel.
Then you have a California politician trying to get answers from Take2 and Rockstar?
This is just another alarmist report in order to scare parents by people who know NOTHING about the gaming industry. I love how they stuck the kid in there saying that if his parents said no to a game he would save the money himself and go and buy it.
I’m sorry, but if a retailer sells an M rated game to someone underage, that retailer should be fined. We have ratings for a reason in the gaming industry. I almost think that ratings in the gaming industry are more important than ratings in the film industry. Watching a movie is a passive activity. Playing a game is active and, when played correctly, can totally involve a player body and mind.
