"Manhunt - BANNED!"

Due to the death of a boy by a killer who was influenced by Manhunt, Manhunt has now been taken off of the shelves.

Your views??

As never playing the game i would like details of the actual gameplay if anyone can be bothered to get of their dimples to tell me

Yes. Although one could say the same of Ape Escape, Spike swears when double-jumping, but you don't see 11 year olds running around with nets trying to catch monkeys.

Manhunt is possibly the worst game I've ever played.
It's like they took every irritating, crap idea from all the average games ever made and put them all together - chuck in some violence and lots of swearing and we've got a hit.

Manhunt is a class game u just gotta get into it! i bought it on the first day. (if its rockstar its good!) and loved it but banning it is extreme and BTW i heard it was because of Hitman that he was killed! (i also love that game) and i agree if its banned its gonna be more wanted by gamers!

Oh well. Its a poor game anyways. I played demo and it was more entertaining to watch paint dry.

Yeah I know, I went down to tesco today and manhunt was sold out and last week they had over 20 copies

I've had the game since the 1st week it came out. I don't have an urge to kill someone. The media has blamed things like these for ages - It won't change. The people who believe their crap are really stupid - the people's opinion is based simply on what they have been given through the TV, newspaper or interent and NOT what they have experienced through the game.

Just forget it now: Rockstar rule. The campaign against violent games won't go far.

UW.

It's all a load of bullisht, you don't need a videogame to inspire you to kill someone, otherwise like what are all the thousands of other murderers doing? They were all inspired by their own reason, be it hatred or whatever.

What it all boils down to is the person and how they've been raised. If that Mother was dumb enough to raise a child and not stress the importance of not copying what you see on TV or the importance of how wrong it is to kill someone we wouldn't have this problem. It's your fault cos your a lousy mother, nothing to do with a game.

Banning games just makes people want to play them more.

If I had a 14 year old child, they would have been in bed for 9.30! As for meeting two women, why didn't they think about WHY they were meeting two women at a park!!! Some parents sicken me.
