If I was to hypothetically own a copy of manhunt, possibly my insight would mean more than just my usual buck o' five (freedom isnt free after all... :))

Anyway, Manhunt is banned, ultimately, due to the fact that the story puts you in a place where you have no choice but to end another human life (key factor), and are rewarded for doing so in the most brutal fashion available to you (key factor), and tools that present available to the character are very much available to the general populace (key factor); (breathe).

Manhunt could be interpreted by little 9 year old johnny infants as a guide to disposing bullies in his life manual of torture, murder and grievous bodily harm. (yes so could other games, however the brutality of manhunt is incomparable to most other games -including GTA).

Are you guys aware that both the Warriors and Bully (aka Canis Canem Edit) run on the same engine as Manhunt?

Arguing the otherside, Manhunt is exactly what you'd expect from Rockstar's most brutal title: blood, gore and the humor that makes those less fortunate of us to tilt their heads in "err.. wha?" fashion. Piano wire = severed head = distraction = shiv a guy in the eyesocket with a shard of glass.

As a general member of the populace, I do generally agree with Manhunt being the way it is: unavailable to the general populace, but within reach of those who know where to look :)
