Good Job Hackers. Censorship sucks anyway.

Not really though.

Its just unblurring the kill sequences. Other than that anything Rockstar cut out of the game is gone, of which there is rumored to be plenty.

Oh god, Jack Thompson's gonna be all over this, saying that little kids will buy Pro Action to kill people quite easily. It's not that easy and not meant to be seen by the player. I had a GameShark once, and I couldn't figure out how it worked. How much better will a little kid do?Video_Game_King

I bet we'll be seeing those stupid news reporters saying,"A KIDS game which was censored has been haxxored. Will kids play it and go crazy? We tell you why. Also, we decide to blame GTA for 9/11".

The main problem with that for me is when they say it's a KIDS games, it just annoys me. Morons.

oop, btw can you tell me what does A/O mean? :p

What? Oh god, no. This is why ignoring Thompson won't work on our part: because everyone else is treating him like he's an expert in the field. We need to start a petition to get his right to practice law revoked, because ignoring him seems to do no damage. We're not fighting FF5's Gogo here :P.

"Adults Only", the harshest rating a game can recieve from ESRB. Most publishers don't allow AO games on their consoles, and 99% of retailers refuse to carry AO games.

Oh good Christ...Rockstar definitely knew this would happen. This is gonna be hot coffee all over again...thanks a lot for jeopardizing the entire industry for some shock publicity, Rockstar...Fortier

I'd like to see what they have to say about it as well.

I'm guessing Sony and Microsoft are among these publishers, right?

rockstar wants it to be hacked so they can sell it as Mature and then have it be hacked as A/O which otherwise can't be sold and this way their hands are clean because they didnt' do anything wrong and the players are happy. Everyone wins. Good job Rockstar. I have a hacked Manhunt 1 video which doesnt' blur anything out. It's not even that gruesome. C'mon I have seen worse stuff than this game by FAR in other games! A bat to the face is supposed to be worse than a chainsaw in Gears which cuts people in half?

have you seen Pan's Labyrinth? If children can watch that, they can play any 'game'.
