Manhunt 2 Banned in the U.K.

»Manhunt 2 Banned in the U.K.

Apparently even mentally healthy adults over the age of 18 have to be protected from this game. I always thought the Wii version would be highly controversial, what with you acting out the actions, but I notice (and am somewhat surprised) the PS2 version didn't make it either.

The highly anticipated upcoming title, which casts gamers in the role of doctor Daniel Lam--who offers himself as a guinea pig for a neurological weapons project--was due to go on sale in the country on the Wii, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2 on July 13. However, both the PS2 and Wii versions have been refused a rating by the British Board of Film Classification, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK.

I'll admit, I'm marginally surprised by the fact that Big Brother is telling you what you can and can't play these days Bang Head

My vocabulary is di...di...dimi...dimini..........killing itself.

I haven't heard very much about that game, so I don't know what it's about. Is it just that it's highly violent, or what? Do you think it'll be banned in other places, too?

I am clueless when it comes to this game also. This is the first I have heard of it myself. I am not surprised though. I kind of seen something like this coming eventually.

Its has also been rated AO in America too, it seems, so maybe the ESRB is finally pulling their head out of their asses and rating games as AO just for extreme violence now.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
