After Target learned that people could see thecensored killsinManhunt 2, they have decided to take the game off of their shelves:
“While ‘Manhunt 2‘ was given a ‘Mature’ rating by the ESRB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content by altering the game code. As a result, we have decided not to carry the game.”
The article onABC doesn’t really clarifyif Target is just taking the PSP version away or all versions but in any case, this is a dumb move on Target’s part. The game stillmaintains the M ratingeven after this incident so the only thing Target is really doing is hurting it’s own sales.
Oh well, I guess people will just have to buy the game at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Fry’s, GameStop, GameCrazy, and any number of other electronic stores. Oh, and the Internet. Almost forgot about the Internets.
