Frankly, I think there's a time for Manhunt, and that age 13 is not it. Grand Theft Auto is one thing. There are missions, objectives, and exploration goals layered in with the possible harm you could do. But Manhunt is a disgusting murder simulator and honestly I don't even think it should have been released (but that's another topic altogether). Regardless, if you want to play it, I think 16 is more than young enough.
I know people here will disagree with me on censorship complaints, but I really think there needs to be an intervention at some point. And ManHunt is it for me - it pricked my comfort bubble.
