Manhunt 2 Banned Again in the UK

by Adam Montgomery on January 25, 2008 at 4:11 pm

manhuntpicagain.jpg Rockstar’s battle to get Manhunt 2 released in the UK has taken another turn, effectively resulting in the game being banned once more.

Previously, the British Board of Film Classification’s decision to ban the controversial game was successfully overturned by an appeal. However, the BBFC has continued the matter by taking it to the High Court, who has now ruled against the appeal that overturned the original banning. Manhunt 2 has been “re-banned”.

It was argued that the decision to have the game released, as decided after the appeal, would “undermine the BBFC’s authority,” and not just in the medium of video games.

Presently things look bad for Rockstar’s game, but something tells me this matter is far from over.

    Now this process will start to cost the taxpayer, this will probably receive alot more bashing in the UK press.

    It does indeed, but I was under the impression that Manhunt 2 is not as revolutionary and fun as Manhunt 1.

    I think a lot of people have lost track of this banning/unbanning - and subsequently given up on the title.
