The National Institute of Media and the Family (NIMF) has chimed in on the recent news that Take-Two Interactive has opted to suspend distribution of Manhunt 2. In their recent statement, the NIMF was more or less pleased by the occurrences, calling it “a victory for parents and children.”

Regarding the ESRB‘s handling of the matter, the NIMF had only praises for them. Said their statement,

Because of the their thoughtful decision to give Manhunt 2 its strongest rating, ‘Adults Only,’ the ESRB has sent a strong message to Take-Two and other game makers that they no longer can push the envelope on gratuitous violence in videogames. The ESRB showed real leadership in assigning this rating and further evidence it is making significant progress in keeping extremely violent and graphic materials out of children’s hands.

According to the IGN report, the NIMF has yet to play the game, basing its decision on the trailers viewable on the internet, as well on the fact that the game makes the player act out the violence prevalent in the game.
