Hi,
Manhunt 2 has been banned by the BBFC in the UK, making it illegal to supply it anywhere in the UK. Both the PS2 and Wii versions of the game were banned with the BBFC unable to recommend cuts or modifications to remove the offending material. The last game to be banned by the BBFC was Carmageddon, banned 10 years ago in 1997 this decision was subsequently overturned on appeal. Publisher Rockstar do still have the right to appeal against this decision.
Director of the BBFC, David Cooke, commented that “Rejecting a work is a very serious action and one which we do not take lightly. Where possible we try to consider cuts or, in the case of games, modifications which remove the material which contravenes the Board’s published Guidelines. In the case of Manhunt 2 this has not been possible.”
