As soon as you start assigning a game's rating based on whether it's trying to make some kind of a commentary, the whole thing falls apart. You can't rate Manhunt 2 based on what it means, only on what it appears to be. It's a reviewer's job to do that, not the ESRB, whose job it is to warn you not to let your kids see you play the game.
