Florida Attorney General Looking into Wii Version of Manhunt 2
GamePolitics has confirmed via multiple sources that Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) has expressed concern over the impending release of Rockstar"s controversial game on Nintendo"s next-gen console.
For McCollum, the issue seems to be the use of the Wii"s motion-sensitive controller. It is widely anticipated that players will be required to simulate slashing, stabbing or clubbing motions in order to play Manhunt 2 on Nintendo"s popular system.
Here is what he said,
"Florida retailers are scheduled to sell a very violent video game called Manhunt 2 which will be available, remarkably, for "play" on the kids-friendly Nintendo Wii gaming platform.
The Wii device does not utilize traditional push button game controllers but instead utilizes hand-held motion capture devices… It is a training device. "
