Apparently Manhunt 2 goes against common sense. The Common Sense Media group held a 10AM press conference this morning over Manhunt 2 and why they felt it should be boycotted. However, they seem to have gotten their information mixed up as they made a reference to a seen that was in the AO version of the game, not the M rated version that will be seen in stores tomorrow.

As the Manhunt 2 launch draws near, the hurly-burly over the controversial game shifts to San Francisco where watchdog group Common Sense Media will hold a 10AM press conference at City Hall.

On Friday GamePolitics reported that the organization was urging parents to boycott Manhunt 2. The game is scheduled to arrive in stores tomorrow.

There was a bit of an oops in CSM’s Manhunt 2 bashing, however, as GP’s Friday coverage pointed out. At least one gory scene detailed by the group - that of a police officer being decapitated by a shovel - apparently came from an early build of Manhunt 2 which was leaked online by an SCEE employee in September. A Rockstar press representative told GP the scene did not appear in the M-rated retail version of the game.

    The AO version is for adults only, correct? Then 'common sense' isn't needed, simply because it gives the warning of massive gore.

    A Common Sense council seems a bit much over a game. If you want to say something doesn't have sense, sue Poke'mon.
