Would I buy this game? No. Not even remotely interested in it. I don't even own a Wii. Should it be sold? Yes. I might not want it, but someone else might. That's the beauty of living in a free-market economy in that there's always something to cater to your own tastes.

I hope the ESRB does not cave in to pressure on this, and they shouldn't. Hot Coffe was one thing, but now there are people out ther condemning a game they've hardly seen let alone played. It's almost like Bully times 10 now, even if Jack Thompson isn't directly involved he's still doing everything he can to stir the pot as it were.

Hopefully the ESRB will keep a level head in this and rate the game on its own merits as opposed to what everyone else wants it to be rated. If it's rated M, they can scream all they want about it. If anything, the ESRB can use this game to make a point that not all games are for kids, that some are actually intended for adults, and that the ratings need to be enforced and paid attention to.
