Did anyone play this game yet? Is it really that bloody? I definitely want to try it just to see what all the hype is about. Is it worth buying or renting?

I heard they were just going to edit it and rename it "Sheep hunt".

The game was set in a weird city inhabited by criminals and psychotics.
Okay, I sympathize with these guys, but this cracked me up. Folks, if you're going to ban a game, your press release better not have you sounding like you're going a bit senile...Mr. Hastings moves back into safe territory later on with professional speech, but what I've quoted here actually made me laugh a bit :)

Unlike the Grand Theft Auto series, which Mr Hastings conceded had an element of humour in its depiction of police chases, Manhunt "has none of that whatsoever".
totally agree with that
Manhunt is just disgusting
The killing scences are noway unrealistic.It shocked my first time I saw them.
Rockstar has gone too far and they should feel this too.
and seeing young 12-13 years old kids buying Manhunt without any probs here in Austria makes me just sad :(
