Reviewer, Review Thyself

Upset by the fact that the ESRB rated the revised Manhunt 2 game as "Mature" instead of as "Adults Only", four U.S. senators - Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Evan Bayh and Sam Brownback - are calling for the ESRB to review its own practices. At issue for the senators is not only the violence of the game itself, but also the fact that, on the Nintendo Wii, the use of the WiiMote "permits children to act out each of the many graphic torture scenes and murders” in the game.

All four senators are noted opponents of video game violence, though senators Clinton and Lieberman had praised the ESRB in 2006.
