And the beat goes on for Manhunt 2. With so much controversy brewing about this gruesome title, it’s not too surprising that Manhunt 2’s availability won’t be much in Australia and Germany.
Especially Germany, who’s made it impossible to even buy Gears of War or Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Is this news? Not really. Rockstar must have known that this title, which makes Grand Theft Auto look like Mario Tennis, would receive a ton of flak. Something like Postal is (barely) tolerated because it’s not serious - a parody unto itself - but Manhunt 2 is gritty and realistic, not to mention amoral.
Will Rockstar blink?
(Thanks, Joystiq.)
