USA Today's Sensationalist Take on Manhunt 2

Fozzyuw writes "USA Today has up a story on Manhunt 2 for the Wii, the 'AO'-rated then re-rated title from Rockstar games. They appear to be specifically aiming to sensationalize the story, with evocative and needlessly violent language. Here are a few snippets from the article: '"Nintendo Wii takes a murderous turn." Manhunt 2 was originally rated Adults Only — equivalent to an X in films — and now carries an M for mature audiences (17 and up) ... Since the Wii version uses the motion-sensitive controllers, it literally gives players the hands of a killer ... Nintendo doesn't need to expand its user base to help the Wii continue to outsell its pricier and technologically superior competitors ... On the Wii, players physically make killing motions with the controllers — slashing for stabs and lifting to strangle — rather than simply pushing buttons.'"

Slashing to stab eh?

[Jtheletter]

Gee, what other titles for the Wii allow you to slash the controllers to attack in-game. Hmmm... oh that's right, the critically acclaimed Zelda: Twilight Princess, rated T for Teen.

Or how about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, rated E for EVERYONE.

Remember kids, never let the facts get in the way of a good story!
