Now I really want this game just to see if it really is an AO game or not.

I think R* will cancel it too. It's a new division of Rockstar, Rockstar London,that made Manhunt 2. Their first game gets banned in the UK, Ireland and Australia and an AO rating in America. More bans will probably follow in other parts of Europe.

Bet R* didn't see that one coming.

okay, i hate this. enough is enough! i have always wanted to be able to voice my opinion to like a congress or somewhere that it could make a difference. parents are the ones who are responsible for crap like this. it is their fault that kids are getting games like this, and once they actually see the game, they get all mad and make a public whining over it. i myself have been a fan of mortal kombat since it debuted in 1992, and my parents made sure that i understood it was just a game and that i could always turn it off if i was disturbed by it (i was 10 at the time).this is the reason that the ESRB ratings system came to be. an M-rating is the highest rating a game can get while still allowing everyone to experience it. and if parents were responsible enough to know what their younger kids are playing, this wouldn't be a problem. i shouldn't have to worry about games i want being censored or even banned completely because parents are idiots. and these stupid groups that sit there and cry about it piss me off.

and as far as the Wii version, Nintendo said before the system came out that they realize they got heat for Gamecube being too much of a "kiddie" system, and wanted to target more of a mature audience also. so as long as parents know what their kids are playing and are informed about the games, this wouldn't be a problem, and other gamers wouldn't have to suffer.

keep this good stuff coming Rockstar, Take-Two, Midway. you have the best games and they get their ratings for a reason

I agree, this just what i wanted to type in. I just think Midway sucks, cause they did such a poor effort on MK Armageddon, a game i have anticipated since it was announced, since i am a big fan of "Deception".

IMO they should just cancel the Wii version, it will bring down they hate, or maybe I am just a Sony fanboy :-)

Rockstar cancel a game?

As in not make money? Please.

Theyll "tone down" the violence and release it as a M game.

Because I highly doubt they'll pull another AO game out of their ass and make nothing.

i agree too, to me it just doesn't make any sense because there's as much, or even more, violence on tv and in movies, among the other stuff, i mean hell, that one episode of 24 they showed the guy getting tortured

This is horrible.

I'm affraid this is only the start, and now this will start to happen more and more. Should we expect GTAIV to be tunned-down on violence as a form of R* avoiding the story repeating? The people who are working on the game should be allowed to use thir creativity to the maximum and not be counterfeited by politics, any work of art will resent if the creator is not tottally free to do what he thinks is best.

And if GTAIV does receive an AO rating? Will Sony mantain it's "No AO games on our systems" policy??? GTAIV will sure be a boast for PS3 hardware sales... I don't know, this all sounds very scary for the industry.
