I've played violent games my whole life and not once have I wanted to murder someone from playing those games. Don't blame the games or tv shows, blame the kids parents and the kid. I'm not usually a violent person, but a bit of me hopes that murderer burns in Hell for what he did.
fuck censorship fuck mature ratings fuck all this stupid bullshit take some responsibility for your kids development and judgement skills and then once your an adult use those skills appropriately IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT LOOK LISTEN WATCH READ OR PLAY IT whats so fucking hard about driving the godAM speed limit people wtf is wrong with you?
WOW, lucky i got the game before it was banned, i've still got it somewhere up in the attic along with the original xbox to play it on and the 9 corpses of people that i tried my own manhunt "BETA" Version on. :L
they can't blame a game for the actions that a person did, "you should take responsibility for your own actions" isn't that why there's a M rating for a reason, and to me GTA isn't that different but I'm sure they bitched about that already. To me this game is a stress reliever, the same with GTA, it's better to kill in a game then to kill in real life.
grow some balls, every murderer has a reason to kill, just because this outraged mother has a dead son, she has to blindly accuse the first mysterious thing she sees to try to get revenge. its not a fucking prophecy.
well rockstar games made a really stupid move releasing it for wii the could got away with it on the psp and ps2 if they released the cut down versions.
god, if every dumbass psycho in the universe did what they saw on tv and video games in real life it would be total chaos pandimonium hell on earth shitstorm, just because these freaks went off in a fashion like a game, doesnt mean anything. there has been so many ways to kill a person shown on tv and video games, every death in the world could be tied to a movie.
Righ, that`s why this kind of games are rated M, but the true is that noone cares, is a big problem with the society 'cause they don't know what are they consuming, by example I played the game when I was like 17, fortunately my education was enough to know what's real and what`s not, always have a criteria formed.
it's bullshit. if you blame this game your nothing but a prick. and you need to get with the program. things are different nowadays. and if you do blame this game your just using it as a scapegoat. people need to grow some fucking spines.
ive played this game when i was like what 5 on my ps2 and like every single intense video game ever and i turned out fine. Well maybe i turned out fine cuz my parents always said "If u do any of that stupid shit ill beat the shit out of you untill your head falls out your ass" in spanish of course...
@Primz83 wow you are right. So many wars because of religion. How many wars have been started because of video games other than console wars... and no one dies in those.
Call of Duty, Perfect Dark, and Gears of War. Three bloody video games I've played that sold millions of copies.
This, the idiots who shot BBs at cars and blamed GTA, and the guy who shot his parents because they took Halo away. 3 real-world violent acts "related" to video games.
That's less than one act of violence for every million people who've played a violent game.
Games brainwashing players to be violent, or contrivances by idiots trying to dodge consequences?
this is quite interesting but its not on the game itself its on the way ppl think of them... some ppl think "oh just another game kool" wen ppl start to think the game is real and ppl everwhere do that shit then they gotta learn some stuff. the first few games i ever played were "quake 1, turok 1, turok 2, turok 3, and doom...i was only 5 years old... i know the games arnt real like seriously. wen do ppl saw others to death for the fun of it in REALITY. but there are probably a FEW ppl who do
i agree with the sane, games don't kill people, crazy is crazy the parents should pay attention to there kids. violent video games like manhunt(which i own both) are no more than stress relief for me
i have played every violent game you can think of since i was 5 and i turned out just fine. the fact people blame the game is just a way of them to try and destroy something they deem evil so feel it should be banned. when i fact there are guidelines in place to protect the youth ,,parents just ignore it then blame others for their own mistakes. my point is i have played violent games and i am not a violent person cause my parents raised me better. its on them not the game
games dont kill people, people kill people... that makes just as much sense as the original quote i think... its not games that depict blood and shit that make people crazy, its how they decide to interpret life... if things dont work out, sometimes people snap... if someones concerned about a game, then they should just stay away from it... hell, ive played Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill for years and ive been able to keep my murdering to a minimum... people should lay off video games...
Fuck censorship. What about the fuckin' parents who let their maniac kid play it? I know that kids will play the shit anyways, but anyone with the capacity to do something like that obviously wasn't parented very well. And it's not just the parents, what about the kid's teachers and everyone in his neighborhood and shit, if you see a mother fucker actin' crazy tell on that bastard 'cause you might get a claw hammer to the face.
Last but not least, it is not the artists/developers that should be blamed for rampages/tragedies but our society; i.e. the parents, teachers, shop owners that should be blamed and hold responsible/liable for not working together effectively to ensure that inappropriate contents are kept away successfully from children and juveniles.
For example nobody is really complaining or being concerned with movies such as "Irreversibel", "SAW", and/or "Hostel" although those entertainment media could and should be seen as equally bad if not even worse due to a much higher degree of reality. Furthermore, it depends always on the relationship between violence etc. and the context in which they are taking place.
But when you consider that such topics are also included in literature, music, movies, and any other form of art it becomes obvious that controversial topics like the abovementioned ones are a part of our daily societal life and that this has been always the case since ancient times.
However, the problem is that our society is still very much embracing this idea of video games only being made for kids. Second, video games are more or less the newest form of entertainment media, which I guess is one reason in combination with the first I mentioned afore that the society is still very negatively concerned with controversial topics like violence, sex, racism, etc. in video games.
In my opinion, it is not the responsibility of game developers to ensure that their games are not harmful for children because first of all video games are not only intended for children and juveniles today but also for adults.
I find this funny...when Manhunt first came out noone paid any special attention to it.Hell everyone was so focused on GTA,Manhunt was a million times more brutal then GTA & for the most part Iit sold poorly and got so so reviews & was soon forgotten.When part 2 was anounnced everyone raised a big stink about it.Kinda messed up.
theres a lot of games that are way more gross then manhunt. hasnt anyone ever played dead space, fallout 3, etc...? u can frikin dismember ppl in that. whats up with ppl blaming games and music and movies on crime? its not the media, it's the people who are doing it.
When I heard about the controversy of Manhunt 2 on the Wii I rented it from Blockbuster to check it out. Honestly, it didn't seem as horrible as people in the news made it out to be. I mean I didn't really enjoy the game but it didn't seem as gory as people said it was. I have actually seen horror movies that were much more gorier than Manhunt 2.
The press actually reported that a copy of the game had been collected as evidence after the murder. They then failed to report that the copy had belonged to the victim and not the murderer who didn't even own a copy.
The wii is an alright system. However, even with Manhunt 2 it's really disappointing. What were Nintendo thinking making a game for a family? There're hardcore gamers out there are in more favor of extreme violence than kiddy shit.
Rockstar is one of the most controversial game developers in da industry 4 sure.. wit titles like Grand Theft Auto, Bully, nd Manhunt nd others those dudes are crazy.. they take a lotta heat but theyre games are great
i am 15 n i have manhunt 1 before it got banned. its a good as game, its pretty fucked up though. in other words, rockstar are fucked up. they have made so much shit like this its crazy. i love midnight club n gta n shit but i reckon this has gone over the top. dont get me wrong i love the game its awesome, but even for fuckkin animated kills its still pretty gross.
Yeah, but Manhunt 2 introduces new weapons. I was kind of hoping that they would put the guy from the first one in part 2 like probably make him a wanted man or something.
postal 2 is the most controversial. I love how in the game you work for Running with scissors, the actual company that makes the came, until you are mobbed by violent video game protesters who ironically pull out guns and open fire. At which point you kill them. Postal knew how to do it.
Yeah.. when i first got the game I was excited. Then I was playing I saw how there were like sort of white spots on the screen. I thought it was my TV but I looked at the case. It also has blurred excecutions. I was pissed off.
exactly. all the parents who bitch and piss and moan about little billy blowin up the school and raping the kitty shoud shut the fuck up and learn to read. if their kids play it, that makes them shitty parents for letting them. what's not clear about a big black and white stamp with M for Mature, 17+ on the fucking cover of the game's case? wow, it seems like they can be shielded from everything else wrong in the media, but games are bad. now we suffer.
Also, as for the people who have lost their love ones through the cause of videogames. It is entirely the parents fault. Not the children, kids or whomever. The parents has the power to control of what the kids can or cannot have, until they grow to be mature enough to understand what's right and wrong.
Parents has the privilege of controlling their kids, but they choose not to. What's the result? Arrogance then murders, such as these ones.
"I heard some of Warren's friends say that he was obsessed with this game, and I thought 'Oh, boys will be boys, he's not stopping me from getting a facelift and having an affair with the pool boy', so don't blame me, I'm not responsible at all. Now where'd I put my Cosmo?"
i remember the firs time i played this i thought the graphics where the best now when u go look at it again it kinda sucks compared to todays shit but the game still kicks ass!
@rocknroller290 No not Tiger, I don't follow the tabloid news (meaning so called celebrity news, including sports jack-offs). But from what I have happened to overhear all those dumb bitches were golf groupies or whatever (whores). So in the proposed game called WOMAN HUNT where is the SPORT in that?
i belive games not make you to a murdermachine.. here in sweden you cannot buy postal2 but manhunt can you buy on 'ICA MAXI' manhunt its more violent then postal.
You have some good points, of course Manhunt is going to be controversial, because it is sure violent, and young people ARE getting their hands on it (talk about me, at 5 i played GTA3) but I'd never murder anyone, at 11 now and playing GTA 4, I have never been inspired to kill anyone
This game should obviously be banned, along with Catcher in the Rye, the Holy Bible, The Holy Qu'Ran, and any other piece of media which has ever inspired anyone, anywhere, anytime, to kill . Who's with me?
when i was 6 my brother was 10 and he was playing manhunt and i was playing the getaway i wasent violant so u cant blame it on video games u fucking retart
Manhunt is a video game. It's rated Ao for a reason. ADULT ONLY. Get the picture? Only the highly inmature would be inspired to kill someone by a video game.
i agree with you superstu. the media should not be to blame for such a horrendous crime.i think that the only culprit in this fiasco is the fragility of the human mind and how such people can allow themselves to be consumed be a mere videogame. companies will continue to pump out games like this for the entertainment of the masses (over 17). the only REAL solution to this issue is to further inforce any laws made about purchasing m games
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Manhunt 2 is such a treabile game that they could destroy Nintendo reputation as a family friendly system. Why does it have to be the Wii? Why? They better compleatly ban Rockstar game from the Nintendo system. (Except for the Midnight Club series that is acceptable.) This is a crime againsts humanity! This should never come to exist or Grand Theft Auto. I bet right now Rockstar goal to to ruin Nintendo good reputation. I give no pity to Rockstar and they should be punished. (No e-mail or reply)
okay first of all, nintendo bought the game so it could be played on the wii.
ontop of that, the rating systems are there for a reason, and any parent who allows their kid to play this cant raise shit because its their fault, and their fault only.
AND, like ravenside666 said, its just a video game and anyone who thinks the things in these games are a good idea (which im not judging them in any way) was probably going to go through with it at some point anyway.
I got bad news for you man, GTA (3, Vice City, or San Adnreas) is probably coming to the Wii. Nintendo said they want to have GTA on their system. Rockstar already have GTA: Chinatown Wars on the DS, so it might as well have GTA 3 series on the Wii.
HOLY SHIT!!! Manhunt 2 sounds effing awesome! Honestly I think violent games can be therapeutic seeing how a person can take their anger and aggression out on a game instead of going to a bar, get drunk, and smash a pool stick over someones head. Besides if someone wanted to kill for real just join the army pfffft
doom is definitely a close second, as it was blamed for colombine. the story is pretty much the same, both of the guys were obsessed with it and when they were plotting the shootout, one of the guys even mentioned that "it would be like fucking doom"
anyway, videogames don't cause violence UNLESS there is something wrong with the person to begin with, like the colombine shooters and warren leblanc. how many of us have played great games like manhunt and doom without killing? a vast majority.
well... not really, there are people that have idiotic thoughts, now, what about that Columbine highschool shootings?? those 2 were possessed and they lost it, i don't play Doom so much anymore, it got me really really aggressive, everyone in my family feel not so happy to see me acting different *sighs* games cause aggressiveness...
i mean, games do not cause you to kill but they will cause you to be aggressive and stuff, my sister noted that i am really not so much cool these days, i have such a short temper and i am really arrogant... my sis does not lies, she is right........
lol this hilrious its not like movies don show killing in everysingle action violent ones and horror lol video would d lose there hardcore touch if they took them off and i would start a real killing spree if they did it lol j/k just get of the black market imagine games being like drugs and other banned stuff lol
ok...uhh..yeah...you people know just because a killing in real life is similar to a game does not automattically mean that the games caused it to happen...the ways you kill in manhunt are pretty widely used ways to murder people....long before this game came out..no reason to censor not to mention we live in america..where we have a constitution..and rights..and freedom of speech..
I was surprised at how mild the violence was. I was expecting heads getting ripped off and intestines flying everywhere, but all I saw was a blurred camera and a small puddle of red.
A couple of pictures with text talking nonsense about the same s*** we've been hearing around since mortal kombat and yet its supposed to be something serious and relevant for discussion? Go play with windows movie maker elswhere, please :)
Yeah, sorry dude, gotta agree with the guy above. I was expecting more in depth, like an actual interview with the creator, or an authority figure or something. Don't think this actually classifies as a 'documentary'.
it is aggrivating to see people making simple things like this scapegoats, simply because its the easiest thing to blame. as a Marilyn Manson fan, i remember them being blamed for several high school shootings. people have to realize that EVERYONE has the will of choice. they themselves are to blame for their actions. no one else.
pshh... games arent fun without any violence, and its only the insane people that kill because of a video game, its perfectly fine in a normal person's hands
nice video , but every single man has power of choice . Kill or not to kill . We can't say game are making us to kill people . If a person has "that" in the brain , he/she will kill anyway .
it is controversial it got banned from some country this game is voilent gears of war is mild voilence if you want blood and gore manhunt is been inspired by jason voorhess
It is ,who ever made this video is an idiot. the kid who got killed had a copy of the game so WTF? And you cant kill people in real life like you do in the game. Rockstar makes the best games. FUCK ALL THESE BABIES
A free world does not necessarily mean that every movie, game, song etc. containing such sickness and violence should be released. This isn't about censorship. There should always be a limit for the depiction of violence. Because many average people can not seperate "the virtual" from "the reality".
You cant even trust the seller to check ids cause i bought plenty of m rated games and parental adviser cds in my day the youngest i was when bought was 14 and i bought the eminem cd which for sure aint for kids.
Games are just as violent as movies and TV. Look at movies like hostel and saw, Yet it's games that get the bad rep. It's up to the parents of these kids to not buy them these games not the game industry to not make these game.
how the hell can a videogame help kill someone what, it somehow came alive and told him to do it bullsh*t that was that f*ckin retards decision to do that its obvious the kid had issues b4 the game came out i played this game im fine i just wish people would stop lookin for excuses
wow, im not even going to go into these kinds of people, OH NO SOMEONE WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED! IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN THE VIDEO GAME< NOT THE POOR DRUNKEN ABUSIVE PARENTS OH NOT AT ALL! IT WAS MANHUNT!!!
I don't know why everyone bitches so much about this game. Personally I have not played it and I never will not because I can't but because it looks very stupid and I'm not a stealth kind of guy. Also this game is ridiculous I've seen gameplay footage and it's not even that bloody.
This game is so cool man. I'm like only 13 and i kick ass at this game. lol all you up tight people here will coment me for my words, but sorry guys life is hard, people die everyday. Playing this game makes things like death nothing.
Like I've said before, parents, if your cautious and don't want your kids playing violent games, look at the rating and what it's rated for. There's a reason for that little letter on the bottom left-hand corner of the box.
Yeah i mean, people just kill each other when playing violent games right :|.... questions have to be asked, was the dick wad who killed that guy screwed two ways til tuesday anyway? You would have to be to not have the ability to sense what is right and wrong.
But even then this case isn't without a sense of irony that the guy who owned the game was the victim.
Well made! I play some violent games but not as violent as manhunt. Dont listen to all the people who are trashing you. Its a good thing that you made this video. You get five stars!
So sad that people blame video games for children's behaviours. The guy at Georgia Tech never played a violent video game in his life, apparently. Those who think it's the games' fault really need to pull their heads out of their asses.
or what BIOTCH, you gonna kill me? shut the fuck up...seriously this game sucks major ass, I mean who the fuck are the people that makes theses games? This game MANHUNT sucks major major ass. and you seem just like that kid who killed that other kid...SO FUCK U??? and I aint keeping shit to myself this game deserves to be banned just becus it sucks.
Hmm That's all I can say. You peacaholics don't take anything seriously. Violent videos don't create violent people, people with a disorder or mental problem, and no it was not the killer owned the game it was the sick twisted dickfuck, and yes I know the game sucks because of it's gun play, but whatever.
At the end of the day, Manhunt isn't the only game to have allegedly 'caused' a murder, and yet had a sequel made. And these 'people'.....if you can call them that......who commit these crimes are mentally unstable way before (illegally underage) playing these games, there just happens to be a catalyst. This catalyst could just just as easily be a 'violent' Tom and Jerry cartoon as it could be a computer game.
I can say as a fan of the Manhunt franchise,that even though the game is violent,it does not openly say to kill.That kid murdered the black kid out of personal choice...will it cause controversy?Of course.But others like my self look forward to Manhunt 2
Listen here. People Are not made instantly Violent because Of a Fucking Video Game, I've played manhunt and Comndemned And Every other game that had Non Stop Violence And I Don't go on Killing sprees. the People Who Do This Were Violent to start off with
warren leblanc was probably abused at age 6 and then molested at age 12. i am 13 years old and i play mature games with strong violence but u dont see me killing people . warren was probably mentally retarded.
LOL hahahaha so who remembers that Nintendo Said back in 1995 that they would not support games of Filth, in reference to Night Trap. I think it could be a good thing for the Game to recieve an Adult Only rating. Sure the Sales will drop, but it garentees for people 21+ to only have it, unless some parents are just irresponsible. However, its not like saying that Movies dont havea profound effect on Kids to. in the end, Not one piece of Media can be the cause of Violence.
I've played violent games my whole life and not once have I wanted to murder someone from playing those games. Don't blame the games or tv shows, blame the kids parents and the kid. I'm not usually a violent person, but a bit of me hopes that murderer burns in Hell for what he did.

The press actually reported that a copy of the game had been collected as evidence after the murder. They then failed to report that the copy had belonged to the victim and not the murderer who didn't even own a copy.

The wii is an alright system. However, even with Manhunt 2 it's really disappointing. What were Nintendo thinking making a game for a family? There're hardcore gamers out there are in more favor of extreme violence than kiddy shit.

i am 15 n i have manhunt 1 before it got banned. its a good as game, its pretty fucked up though. in other words, rockstar are fucked up. they have made so much shit like this its crazy. i love midnight club n gta n shit but i reckon this has gone over the top. dont get me wrong i love the game its awesome, but even for fuckkin animated kills its still pretty gross.

postal 2 is the most controversial. I love how in the game you work for Running with scissors, the actual company that makes the came, until you are mobbed by violent video game protesters who ironically pull out guns and open fire. At which point you kill them. Postal knew how to do it.

Manhunt 2 is edited so badly, blurred executions, easier, not even scary, just less fun.
stealth games aren't for everybody, some people love them, some people don't, don't be biased, you opinions are'nt fact.
don't be a shady motherfucker, quit your bitchin and follow the ratings, dumbass.
XcapeArtist357 3 years ago
Yeah.. when i first got the game I was excited. Then I was playing I saw how there were like sort of white spots on the screen. I thought it was my TV but I looked at the case. It also has blurred excecutions. I was pissed off.

exactly. all the parents who bitch and piss and moan about little billy blowin up the school and raping the kitty shoud shut the fuck up and learn to read. if their kids play it, that makes them shitty parents for letting them. what's not clear about a big black and white stamp with M for Mature, 17+ on the fucking cover of the game's case? wow, it seems like they can be shielded from everything else wrong in the media, but games are bad. now we suffer.

Also, as for the people who have lost their love ones through the cause of videogames. It is entirely the parents fault. Not the children, kids or whomever. The parents has the power to control of what the kids can or cannot have, until they grow to be mature enough to understand what's right and wrong.
Parents has the privilege of controlling their kids, but they choose not to. What's the result? Arrogance then murders, such as these ones.

You have some good points, of course Manhunt is going to be controversial, because it is sure violent, and young people ARE getting their hands on it (talk about me, at 5 i played GTA3) but I'd never murder anyone, at 11 now and playing GTA 4, I have never been inspired to kill anyone

i agree with you superstu. the media should not be to blame for such a horrendous crime.i think that the only culprit in this fiasco is the fragility of the human mind and how such people can allow themselves to be consumed be a mere videogame. companies will continue to pump out games like this for the entertainment of the masses (over 17). the only REAL solution to this issue is to further inforce any laws made about purchasing m games

Manhunt 2 is such a treabile game that they could destroy Nintendo reputation as a family friendly system. Why does it have to be the Wii? Why? They better compleatly ban Rockstar game from the Nintendo system. (Except for the Midnight Club series that is acceptable.) This is a crime againsts humanity! This should never come to exist or Grand Theft Auto. I bet right now Rockstar goal to to ruin Nintendo good reputation. I give no pity to Rockstar and they should be punished. (No e-mail or reply)

okay first of all, nintendo bought the game so it could be played on the wii.
ontop of that, the rating systems are there for a reason, and any parent who allows their kid to play this cant raise shit because its their fault, and their fault only.
AND, like ravenside666 said, its just a video game and anyone who thinks the things in these games are a good idea (which im not judging them in any way) was probably going to go through with it at some point anyway.

doom is definitely a close second, as it was blamed for colombine. the story is pretty much the same, both of the guys were obsessed with it and when they were plotting the shootout, one of the guys even mentioned that "it would be like fucking doom"
anyway, videogames don't cause violence UNLESS there is something wrong with the person to begin with, like the colombine shooters and warren leblanc. how many of us have played great games like manhunt and doom without killing? a vast majority.

ok...uhh..yeah...you people know just because a killing in real life is similar to a game does not automattically mean that the games caused it to happen...the ways you kill in manhunt are pretty widely used ways to murder people....long before this game came out..no reason to censor not to mention we live in america..where we have a constitution..and rights..and freedom of speech..

A free world does not necessarily mean that every movie, game, song etc. containing such sickness and violence should be released. This isn't about censorship.

At the end of the day, Manhunt isn't the only game to have allegedly 'caused' a murder, and yet had a sequel made. And these 'people'.....if you can call them that......who commit these crimes are mentally unstable way before (illegally underage) playing these games, there just happens to be a catalyst. This catalyst could just just as easily be a 'violent' Tom and Jerry cartoon as it could be a computer game.

However, its not like saying that Movies dont havea profound effect on Kids to. in the end, Not one piece of Media can be the cause of Violence.
