 As entertainment and cultural artifact , Manhunt is totally disturbing . But so is the evening news , the " I 'll eat anything for money " lunacy of Fear Factor and the unfettered , misanthropic gunplay of Bad Boys II , so I will defend until my last breath Rockstar 's right to sell this stuff to me and anyone else who wants it . Do I think games such as these could have dire psychological consequences , particularly for young people ? As always , I remain agnostic on the matter . Who knows , really ? The debate will never be resolved . The American military obviously thinks there 's something there : The troubling new TV ad campaign for the U.S. reserves lures potential young soldiers with tales of adventure accompanied by blatant , video @-@ game @-@ styled animation . And , curiously , no one has complained about or tried to ban SOCOM : U.S. Navy SEALs , in which stealth and killing figure even more heavily than in Manhunt .
