Suspension may boost demand

By Terence Huynh on June 23rd, 2007

The decision to suspend Manhunt 2 over following bans from the UK, Ireland and Italy; analysts have predicted that it could cause a massive demand from video gamers.

As well; Wal-Mart, America’s largest retailer, and big named brands will not sell the game due to it’s AO rating, thus meaning that only people over the age of 18 can buy the game somewhere else.

Take-Two, the developer, have two options; making a tone downed version or appeal the rating. Take-Two has also been in hot water with it’s “Grand Theft Auto” series, with San Andreas being replaced with another version after a hacker managed to find a password-protected part of the game which involved an sexual encounter.
