"Hot Coffee" Take Two: Censored "Manhunt 2" Content Unlocked by Hackers

Ah, Take-Two Games must live on controversy. Anyone remember the "Hot Coffee" mod, where a mo to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas allowed access to a sex mini-game? Looks like Take-Two Games has "take two" of that issue.

Manhunt 2 initially had an "Adults-Only" rating, and several changes were made to lower that rating to Mature, enabling a wider release. Rather than removing the content, it was simply hidden, and that's where the hack comes in.

It only works on a PSP, and a hacked one at that. The hack, according to postings, isn't that difficult (well, for those who have modded their PSP, anyway). It should be noted that so far only some, not all of the content has been accessed. Also, there's no way of knowing yet if the PS2 or Wii versions can be hacked ... though undoubtedly this discovery will encourage people to try.

Notably, this time Take-Two hasn't tried to deny anything, but simply admitted the existence of the hack.
