Hillary Clinton and three other senators question the North American games rating process following Manhunt 2 release
In the wake of last month’s release of controversial Rockstar title Manhunt 2, four US senators including Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman have signed a letter calling for the review of US games body the Entertainment Software Rating Board, Next-Gen reports.
This time last year said senators praised the ESRB for its comprehensiveness, but the about turn comes in the wake of the ESRB’s decision to downgrade Manhunt 2’s rating from Adults Only to Mature, with the political foursome claiming that the new rating is not sufficiently strict.
The letter read: “We ask your consideration of whether it is time to review the robustness, reliability and repeatability of your ratings process, particularly for this genre of ‘ultra-violent’ videogames and advances in game controllers.”

'advances in game controllers'
Well the 360 controller has stayed the same, so I guess its a dig at the PS3 Sixaxis and the Wiimote? But what on earth has this got to do with controllers through? Unless they are taking it a step further.
I have to admit though Manhunt 2 is terrible and should never have been released.
