Submission + - USA Today take on Manhunt 2 for the Wii (usatoday.com)

Fozzyuw writes: USA Today has a story up that is just bound to raise criticisms regarding the upcoming game Manhunt 2 on the Wii. USA Today isn't pulling any punches when trying to stir up controversy. Here are a few snippets from the article...

Nintendo Wii takes a murderous turn

Manhunt 2 was originally rated Adults Only — equivalent to an X in films — and now carries an M for mature audiences (17 and up).[...]Since the Wii version uses the motion-sensitive controllers, it literally gives players the hands of a killer.[...] Nintendo doesn't need to expand its user base to help the Wii continue to outsell its pricier and technologically superior competitors.[...] On the Wii, players physically make killing motions with the controllers — slashing for stabs and lifting to strangle — rather than simply pushing buttons.
