Manhunt UK Rethink

Manhunt 2 has already been rejected twice by the BBFC for certification, effectively banning the game for sale in the UK.

Developers Rockstar contested the ban at the Video Appeals Committee, which ruled in the firm’s favour.

The game could now go on sale if the BBFC, which is “considering the judgement”, takes no further action.

In a statement, Rockstar said: “We are committed to making great interactive entertainment, while also marketing our products responsibly and supporting an effective rating system.

“We are pleased that the decision of the VAC has recognised that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18+ rated entertainment.”

David Cooke, director of the BBFC, said that the body “exercised great vigilance and care in ensuring that all violent games which are submitted to us are correctly classified”.

He said the body had twice rejected the game “for its focus on varied and cumulative killings”.

They did spend “over 30 hours” playing the game……least we know it’s playable then ;0,
