Ho creato questo post perche' il precedente faceva poco effetto, cmq ecco le novita
June 21, 2007 - The press has been full of Manhunt 2 recently being banned in the UK. Now this ban comes from the America, though not through the ESRB.
As we previously announced, The ESRB reviewed all versions of Manhunt 2 and their ratings have been revealed. The game, which was to be released on the Wii as well as the PS2 and PSP, has been given an AO (Adults Only) rating. Because of this, both Nintendo and Sony have refused allow the game to be released on their consoles.
Both companies have stated that it is their policy to refuse playback of AO rated content on their machines, with Nintendo telling Kotaku: “Games made for Nintendo systems enjoy a broad variety of styles, genres and ratings. These are some of the reasons our Wii and Nintendo DS systems appeal to such a broad range of people. But as with books, television and movies, different content is meant for different audiences. That's why the ESRB provides ratings to help consumers understand the content of a game before they purchase it. As stated on Nintendo.com, Nintendo does not allow any AO-rated content on its systems.”
It’s beginning to look more and more like this game will never see the light of day. Rockstar does, however, have some time to appeal the decisions by the various rating boards or adapt their game for a milder rating.
In addition to not being able to get this game published, the majority of American game retailers do not stock AO titles. Retailers refusing to stock the game include Walmart, which accounts for 25% of US game sales, and major game rental chains like Gamefly and Blockbuster.
Things are looking grimmer than Manhunt 2 itself for Rockstar.
In pratica, il gioco ha ricevuto un rating di AO (adults only), e sia la nintendo che sony si sono rifiutati di accettarlo (il gioco eh), quindi non permettaranno che vada sulle loro console, anche perche' in america la maggior parte dei negozi non vende giochi AO.
Be, pare saran giorni bui per la rockstar.
