Bigger consequences for Manhunt 2 rating
After England and later Ireland decided to ban the game completely, the ESRB gave Manhunt 2 an "Adults Only" rating in the US.
This means the game may only be sold to adult, so stores might be less enthousiastic to put the game on their shelves.
Moreover and not immediately thought of, the game will now be banned from the PlayStation 2, PSP and Nintendo Wii.
We're curious to see the reaction of Rockstar Games. Will they change the content, go on with the game or throw it away?

Sony Computer Entertainment America and Nintendo of America have told various publications (even mentioned on the latter's own website) their policies forbid the licensing of Adults Only-rated titles on their platforms. If the AO rating sticks, it cannot be officially licensed for Wii, PlayStation 2 or PSP, creating a ban far more restrictive than not showing up on the shelves of Wal-Mart.

Great way to screw off all your adult users Sony and Nintendo.

I think Rockstar will HAVE to accept defeat in this circumstance, maybe take out a few scenes or something as in the current situation, they are not going to be able to sell this game :P

Now we will never get Soldier of Fortune 3 or similar gore filled games. Worst case scenario is that blood & gore is greatly reduced or completely taken away in upcoming fps games. No publisher will publish adult only titles because they obviously don't sell that well.
If this will happen i definetly stop buying FPS games. Blood is the life in FPS games, without it game is ruined.
Then i have to play only racing games i guess...
I wonder why the X360 title The Darkness isn't banned ? That's even more brutal game than this. Next week i will be in games heaven when i'm playing it. :)

This game takes violence way beyond what SoF would ever have got to.
