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.
