Rockstar and ESRB In Trouble In California Over Manhunt 2 PSP Hack

California State Senator and noted anti-video game critic Leland Yee has slammed both Rockstar Games and the ESRB ratings system after it was revealed that the PSP “M” rated version of Manhunt 2 could have some of the “AO” content of the game unlocked:

Not only should the AO rating immediately be reinstated on this game, the Federal Trade Commission should investigate Rockstar and the ESRB to determine how this was allowed to happen again, said Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/San Mateo), the author of California’s law attempting to prohibit the sale of extremely violent video games to minors.

This does not even mention that the procedure to unlock the “AO” content in the PSP version of Manhunt 2 is extremely complicated and it requires making hacks in a moded PSP system. The content is not accessible when people just play the game with a normal PSP.

Take the easy road and bash video games to get votes with out even knowing what you’re talking about or even investigating what you’re going to use as a platform for reelection. The kicker is it will work since the normal person will do the same and never look into it them selves.

We have turned into a bunch of Sheep following our leaders blindly and never questioning what they tell us as fact.
