I agree, now this is a real kiddie game. All the boys will want to play this for sure. I guess people were right to call the Wii a kiddie machine.

I think they will tone it down to get a mature rating. It's going to be hard since the ESRB probably already have it their heads that you mimick a killer's actions in the game instead of merely pressing buttons.

Well if that was true why didnt they just ban the Wii version and make it AO?

I'm not sure I understand the question. They can't ban it in the US, that against First Amendment rights. 

Ban the Wii version and make it AO? Please elaborate. BTW, I was being sarcastic about eh AO rating, but I want to answer your question anyway. I am sure Take Two does not want their game to carry an AO rating.
