Is 'Manhunt 2' the Most Violent Video Game Ever?

JIM says:
ANYONE who thinks there is ANY place for this type of game or supports its "right" to be released is an absolute MORON with NO moral conviction whatsoever.

Jim there is a place for this type of game to be released and I support this game 100%. I guess just because I support this game and according you and your ignorance I have " No moral conviction" Why don't I just start stealing cars and killing people. You know what SCREW THAT! ill just start handing this game to all the little kiddies out there!!! No Jim the point is even though I support this game, I do have the right morals instilled in me by my parents. And also that yeah even though I'm playing this game, Im not going to have the urge to kill or all this other BS!

" IGNORANCE IS BLISS "

Personally, I do not think that the government or any parental associations have any right to ban these video games from the public. If we want to buy the video game, we have the right to do so. Shouldn't this right be granted under the first ammendment? Freedom of speech.

Take the Bible even for example. Didn't hundreds/thousands die? Even the movie "The Passion of The Christ." How come that was not seen as a violent movie to be banned? The so-called Christ up their scraming on the cross, bleeding.

If people want to play a video game, the government or parental associations should have absoloutly no say in weather or not we should play it. It is our decision, not theirs.

I may be only 14 but in my short life I have played many video games(both violent and non-violent)and I think there should be more violent video games out there.You might call me sick but I have to agree with curry,video games are a way to let people do what they can never do in real life.In video games you have the power.you can crush mountains with the touch of a button,you can travel faster than light,you can fly,become invisible,whatever.I am an avid gamer.I`ve played everything from super nintendo to the xbox and everything inbetween and I can tell you violence is a key part in video games young and old.Would you consider super mario Controversial?You basically Kill people with fireballs,and the mushrooms.They tell you to eat mushrooms inthe game.What kind of message is that to send akid?What if they want to try real mushrooms?They know better.My mother trusted me and I was allowed to play M rated video games when I was 7.Am I a seck person just because I killed someone in a video game?no.In fact to tell the truth I come from an angry family.All of my siblings and my mom could get angry in an instant.It was even worse for me and my brother.When my brother was my age now(actually it was more like when he was ten and iwas like 6)he would play video games when he was angry.When i got older And i would get mad for any reason I would play video games.It calmed me down to rip somebody in half and throw it at another enemy.Think twice before you judge a video game.

how bad do these games have to get? do you realize what you are doing to the kids that get a hold of these games? it used to be fun to play video games not all blood and guts. ahh the good old days of pong

it's like this, the game is censored... because instead of being parents, parents blame video game companies about their kids taking the parents guns and shooting other asshole kids. bottom line, video games don't make people violent, it is in the raising of the child something nobody does nowadays,americans leave their kid in front of the tv and do whatever shitty parents do. but i've gotten off my point and that is this, the review of this game is more violent then the game itself, also when did personal judgements of the reader become a pqart of journalism?

I just don't understand a society that cannot stand to see a woman's breast say, in feeding a baby at a mall but has no problem seeing someone with a hatchet to the face or in the case of these games, attacked and dis membered. When we become desensitized to horrific violence and brutal graphic images, then one is more apt to mimic the same. Our kids, now believe through movies and games like this, the answer to your problems can and must be violent or with a gun. I don't advocate censorship or an outright ban. However, I do advocate self censorship and common sense in what you buy or watch or play.

ok im just gonna tell every strait up. im 13. i am an honors student in eighth grade at a good school. i play video games a lot. Now, i guess i could agree with people's concern for the violence in this game, but you cant say that people are sick because they like it. i dont have the game, but if i were to buy it, i would personally use it probably to take out my anger. i play games as a hobby and as a tool for exerting my temper because sometimes i can get realllly angry. i have some games like fight night round 3 (boxing) to do this, but it wasnt enough. it got too easy and it wasnt satisfying me. havent u ever had a thought- just once?- if sum1 really pissed u off like, "AAAARRGH I WISH I COULD JUST-!" thats where this game would come in handy. im not saying im a fan of this game im just saying that there's nothing wrong with the violence if you're mature and smart enough to handle it. if i did any of the stuff that was in some of the games i had, i think that i would puke. i have the game GEARS of WAR and you can chainsaw aliens and their blood splatters onto the screen. now the problem is when a little kid like 6-10 plays this game. i STRONGLY disagree with a parent allowing their kid to play a game like this when they are still pretty new in the world and young. im mature enough to handle it. when im a dad, if i feel that my child is mature enough to handle this stuff, ill let him. i watched saw-saw 3 and i loved the movie, not because of the gore, but beacause of the plot and how everything made sense at the end. any1 else whose seen this movie prolly knows what i mean. when my friends and i watched it we were cringing at some of the sick shit happening in that movie. but take it this way, if anyone knows about what's been happening in the times of the crusades and jesus's time, that's worse than whats happening now, and they didnt have any tech. at all. my history teacher was covering the crusades in class and felt that we were mature enough to watch ,"The Kingdom of Heaven" with orlando bloom. they did some sick things in that movie, and way back then, they crucified people for stealing if the item/owner were that important! im just saying that even though i may play games out of curiousity of what its like to do something/be someone, or have fun with playing a war game and kiling nazis, doesnt make the gamers bad. if anything, blame the parents who let their underage kids play it.

Let's talk about the edge here for a sec. Everyday we live our boring ass lives due to an over protective government and judicial system. In real life, you can't beat a cop with his own nightstick, you can't just murder people and move on to the next easy victim, and you can't just pumble someone for being an ass in real life. All you can do in any negetive situation in your life is turn the other way.....

And I'm sick of it. And what do I do? Nothing. Because wonderful games like GTA, Backyard Wrestling, Mortal Kombat, and other rated M for mature games are for my PS2. All I have to do is sit back and have my imaginary charicter kill off a few phoney digital victims.

For sure I wouldn't let any kind of a kid play this game. But I for sure own it and I can tell you, I am not sick for brutaly murdering a phoney digital puppet on my television. It dosn't get me off AND I don't feel like hurting actual people afterwards.

Now bear this in mind. Think of all the actual violence in the world like the gang center of Chicago where school shootings happen on a daily basis. Think off the violence we're aloud to get ourselves involved in over seas in a war no one has a strait answer for. Think of our suposed deficit claiming taxes (rent if you will) for a country that didn't even belong to us in the first place. Think about an upcoming democratic president that tells the blind what they want to hear even if that suposed president has no control over such things. Meanwhile more and more conglamorates screw more people out of jobs than they hire swaetshop workers in Hong Kong. Just think about these and tell me a video game is our problem.
