darkdogg Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 "MANHUNT 2 BANNED AGAIN" I know it ain't related 2 GTA IV but it's definitely related to ROCKSTAR. I just thought that i would let u guys know. I know i know most of u already know this by the time u're reading this, it's only 4 those who doesn't aight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A revised version of video game Manhunt 2 has been rejected by censors. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) first banned the game in June, saying it demonstrated a "casual sadism" and "constantly encourages visceral killing". It was the first video game in a decade to be refused a classification. The distributor lodged an appeal and submitted a revised version. But David Cooke, BBFC director, said: "We recognise that the distributor has made changes to the game, but we do not consider that these go far enough to address our concerns about the original version. "The impact of the revisions on the bleakness and callousness of tone, or the essential nature of the gameplay, is clearly insufficient. "There has been a reduction in the visual detail in some of the 'execution kills', but in others they retain their original visceral and casually sadistic nature." He added: "We did make suggestions for further changes to the game, but the distributor has chosen not to make them, and as a result we have rejected the game on both platforms." The game, for PS2 and Nintendo Wii consoles, is made by Rockstar Games. The company has described the subject matter as "in line with other mainstream entertainment choices for adult consumers". It caused controversy and was blamed for the murder of a schoolboy. Stefan Pakeerah, 14, was stabbed and beaten to death in February 2004. His parents believe the killer, Warren LeBlanc, 17, was inspired by the game. Police and lawyers in the trial said there was no evidence Manhunt played a part in the murder.
