Target Comments On Pulling Manhunt 2 From Shelves
“Target strives to provide merchandise that will appeal to a wide variety of guests. We also want guests to be comfortable with the purchasing decisions they make at Target. All video games and computer software sold at Target currently carry ratings by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)–from early childhood through mature audiences. While Manhunt 2 was given a Mature rating by the ERSB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content by altering the game code. As a result, we have decided not to carry the game.”
I rented this poor excuse for a game today, and I am glad that they pulled it off the shelves. Not because of all the graphic scenes, that have been blurred out of the M rated game, but just for the fact that this game sucks. I couldn’t find one good thing about this game. I may be jumping to conclusions? Because I have only finished just part of the game, but my judgment will probably stand, because there is no reason to pick this game back up and finish it.
