I don't see what the big deal is with this, though I have not played the game. It's made for grown-ups, it's meant to be sold to grown-ups. How would a little kid even come up with the money to buy this without parental involvement?

The US publishers of a video game banned in the UK and Ireland have described it as a "fine piece of art".
Take Two chairman Strauss Zelnick said Manhunt 2 had his full support and that consumers should decide for themselves.

"The Rockstar team has come up with a game that fits squarely within the horror genre and was intended to do so," Mr Zelnick said in a statement.

The sale of the game is unlikely to go ahead in the US and has not been granted certification in the UK.

"It brings a unique, formerly unheard of cinematic quality to interactive entertainment, and is also a fine piece of art," Mr Zelnick said.
