I think the only reason Manhunt 2 got AO was because of the brutal killings you can do. I haven't really seen any brutal kills in a GTA game that came close to the Manhunt games, the only kill that could be near Manhunt is either a sniper headshot or a katana decapitation. I also have a bad feeling about the release date just like you, but I don't know how to explain it though.

sure, but don't forget the "moral issues" like working for the mob, being able to "brutally kill" cops and innocent bystanders, "do terrible things" to prostitutes etc. you can always find a ton of things like these in an open world game.
blind is right, a lot could happen and we are not the only ones looking forward to april 29, people like jack thompson and the fox news faction are surely preparing to attack gta.

why does a game getting an AO rating change so much. Grand Theft Auto has become a landmark in videogaming for a wide age group, the ones who wont be able to get the game because they are too young will get someone older to get it for them. The depiction of reality and attention to detail in a simulated crime world will gain more praise throughout the nation then it will be bashed against for simply having the abillity to commit serious crimes.
As for the release date, it has been rumoured that the next GTA game would be released at the beggining of the summer ever since vice city's 15 ____ of fame died, and it wasent going to be San Andreas, as we all know (or should know) that that ballin gangsta game came out on the exact same date as vice city (26th, 27th, i swear if u complain about this even in ur own mind u should suck my d**k twice). When I heard that GTA 4 was going to be released on the same date as the other ones I thought it was too good to be true, and kinda lame that there just sticking to same formula (especially in the logo, its same, Period.) So I for one am gladly going to be super syked for this monster of a game to come out the exact same time as the new season of Flight of the Conchords. Thank yoy

I wonder when the PC version will come out....

I agree with Przem0, I really REALLY hope they come out with a PC verision.
