i dont know if this has been mentioned anywhere but i remember watching a doco on the first manhunt game and apparently a 14yr old kid played the game solidly for so long that he became completely desencitised and lost all grip on reality before stabbing his best friend 48 times and removing his tounge. This case was disputed for so long and after all evidence and opinions from a number of shrinks it was accually determained to be influenced from the game.

However crap like this never gets banned in NZ so ill be able to get a copy, though it looks like it might be only the 360 getting it so far and that could soon change

They will more than likely edit it. To get hype they probably made a gory demo so it would become huge in the media. They will tone it down. Of course it IS rockstar, the makers of the porn in GTA: SA. Who knows what they are going to do in Manhunt.

Lets be serious honestly who would think nintendo would sell that on the wii?

i, personally think releasing it with an M rating is a shrewd compromise. At least as far as consoles go. But i would prefer to play it the way it was intend though.
maybe it will be released uncut on a different console or maybe on the pc.

either way, i'm very interested to see how it makes use of a wiimote.

ima be honest, games like this dont need to be made. violoence is one thing, but this game is demented. i bet my year salery that 1 idiot who sits around and plays game, has no life etc, will get this game and mimic actions from man hunt and testiy the game influneced him. this kinda stuff dosent need to be seen, let alone played, it just currupts ppls minds. and i know that dosent apply for everyone, but like i said they're ppl who take this stuff to serious and try to play it out. happened with D&D, GTA, Mortal Kombat (i forget the excat story on this though).

It's already happened over here in the UK, some guy played the first Manhunt, went out and killed his mate using one of the methods listed in the game booklet (something about stabbing with a piece of glass or something)

My comment was more directed at andy247 who was the one who revived the thread.
