10 Horrifically Illegal Things You Can Do In Rockstar's Games

3. Brutally Murder Someone With A Chainsaw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGuhX5AmjuA#t=189 In all honesty, this entry could just be entitled 'Anything In Manhunt'. Easily Rockstar's most controversial franchise (and really, as we've already established, that's saying something), Manhunt is a psychological horror game centred around executing enemies stealthily. To put it bluntly, these executions are horrific. From simple stabbings to clubbing people around the head with a hammer, every execution is bloody and violent. Gamers and gore-fiends loved it. The media didn't. The game's finale sees 'protagonist' James Earl Cash confronting antagonist Lionel Starkweather with a chainsaw; naturally, it ends pretty gruesomely as Cash proceeds to disembowel and behead Starkweather to close the game (if you're not squeamish, check the footage above). It's incredibly brutal and even now (what with all the death and gore we see in games, films and television shows), it's pretty shocking stuff. According to former Rockstar employee Jeff Williams, even staff members felt like the game was way overboard. Various U.S politicians condemned the game for teaching kids how to kill while others highlighted the hypocrisy in criticising Manhunt but not other forms of entertainment. In the UK, a copy of the game was seized as evidence in the murder trial of 14 year old Stefan Pakeerah (although it was later exonerated of any responsibility for the tragic death) and follow-up Manhunt 2 was twice refused a classification from the BBFC. For one moment in time, merely owning a copy of Manhunt 2 could have been deemed illegal in itself.
