Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

An interesting thing has happened regarding the ultra-gross Manhunt 2 game which is expected this summer on Wii and PS2: The ESRB has hit the game with an AO rating, for Adults Only. What does this mean? Well, all three big console makers have said that they do not allow AO content on their platforms, and most retailers won’t stock any AO titles either.

Rockstar has responded to the rating with the statement that they “are exploring [their] options with regard to the rating of Manhunt 2.” With all fronts united, filing an appeal or changing the content seem the only options.

Compounding matters is the fact that the British Board of Film Classification has declined to provide a classification for the game, effectively blocking it from release there. Rockstar has responded, explaining their disappointment, “The stories in modern video games are as diverse as the stories in books, film and television. The adult consumers who will play this game fully understand that it is fictional interactive entertainment and nothing more.”
