The shunning begins for Manhunt 2

by JC Fletcher on Jun 20th 2007 5:10PM

Our esteemed colleagues at Joystiq spoke with the excellent online rental service GameFly about their plans to carry Manhunt 2, or, more to their point, their plans not to. According to a GameFly rep, "GameFly as a general policy does not carry AO rated titles." That makes sense, since they only serve customers 18 and up and deliver games directly to said customers' homes. And to be clear, by "makes sense" we mean "doesn't make any sense at all."

Blockbuster isn't going to carry it either, but that's less of a surprise. Blockbuster has a long-standing policy of not carrying NC-17 or equivalent movies.

This is actually the first thing I wondered when I read it was rated AO. Not that I was so much interested in the game as curious. At the time, there was no indication on the page as it still said "Rating Pending."
