MANHUNT 2 BANNED IN THE UK
(Posted 2007-06-19 16:36:37 by basscomm)

It's being reported absolutely everywhere that the BBFC [
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ ] has banned the sale [
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=25909 ] of _Manhunt 2_ in
the UK. While I don't plan on ever playing this game _or_ moving to the UK
to do so anytime soon, it's worth noting that this is an impressive act of
censorship. The game is being restricted from everyone, not just from the
impressionable young 'uns that don't know any better.

"Against this background, the Board’s carefully considered view is that to
issue a certificate to Manhunt 2, on either platform, would involve a range
of unjustifiable harm risks, to both adults and minors, within the terms of
the Video Recordings Act, and accordingly that its availability, even if
statutorily confined to adults, would be unacceptable to the public."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
To be fair, the game is about indiscriminately hunting down and killing
people.
