I haven't actually seen it confirmed that Holland will get the un-cut version. I know the un-cut version is allowed in Holland but I think it is still to be determined if they will release the un-cut version just for Holland. If it does get released un-cut in Holland then that's a bit of a bonus.

It only makes the video game more wanted and people will always get what they want some how

yea it's up to rockstar what version of the game they want to ship, cut or un-cut now I really want to see what all the fuss is about.

It is definitely the parents. I know some owners probably do sell games to under aged kids but where I live I have never been able to buy a game that is higher than my age limit. I couldn't even by a 15 rated game on my 16th birthday but the parents buy them then blame the developers/publishers for what the game has done to the kid, if anything.

Sometimes games are probably not even the source of the problem but when you hear that the kid involved in an accident happen to have a game like Manhunt or Grand Theft Auto, then the companies are immediately blamed. What a fucked up world we live in.

I see what you mean and I agree that there probably are parents out there who buy 15 and 18 rated games for their under-aged children.

But you also have to remember that the people who work in stores like GAME are often told by their managers that making the sale is all that matters.

It's a double-edged sword, if you ask me. Both parties are at fault but you can't blame the game developers because they're simply trying to make a living which is completely understandable.

In the end, it comes down to society's sterotypes on Computer Games and what people expect from them. I doubt that the average UK Adult considers Computer Games as a form of Arts & Media like Movies are considered. And there lies the problem.

If Computer Games were considered by the UK Adult public as a form of Arts & Media, then we would never see this "Computer Games are a bad influence on kids" debate.

u can pre-order on play.com

 

[BonBon]

did anyone else "get" this game?if you did will you pm me

 

[greeny]

yea I got the game I cant get past domestic disturbance level theres a part where you have to go into a house after jumping over a wall, but the woman inside is frozen and there is nowhere else to go, and unless there is a cheat for a level skip I doubt i'll be going any further on the game.

 

[SL1]

Have you got the game which will work on UK ps2's????

 

[markanddawn]

i will import it! pathetic games and movies do not make people go mental people are born twisted! i wouldnt like kids to see it however, but adults have the right to choose...we are goin to see alien shoot em ups in blackpool banned next or even more dangerous water guns banned at fair grounds, lol

From when I worked there, that's bollocks. If anyone actually was told that, then the manager would be in severe trouble and would likely be fired for gross misconduct. The penalties for serving age-restricted games to those under said age-restriction is harsher to both the individual and the company than it is to those who mis-sell alcohol.

It may have been like that at your store.

A friend of mine used to work in Gamestation about 2 years ago and he told me that his manager always used to tell him that he doesn't care who he sells the games to, just as long as they pay the money.

Believe it or not, it does happen.

Or maybe that is just the store he worked in. Maybe that manager didn't really care that much about games and sucked at his job.
