aww its always something

I seriously think people should stay out of gamers lives. Let us kill who and what ever we want. Better to do it in the game than real life and I get a kick out of shooting up someone in GTA and running people over. Let us be

Amen falky

Lets face it.. theres bias on BBFC's behalf. Its Rockstar. Its Manhunt. And unless they  have fairies and elves dancing around a camp fire singing a PG-Britney Spears song, they wont have a bar of it. If it got an M in the US - it should at least get approved in the UK.

well I live in US, as long its not banned its good to go for me

wow this is a  joke just f-ing release it

But isn't the leak unedited version of Manhunt 2 a PAL game?....just get that one and call it that. Yeah you will need to meet certain requirements to play it but hey...if you planned on buying it in the first place, now since its not being released in your region you guys would have alittle extra cash to make it happen ;)

Don't see what the big issue is.  This kind of game should not be on the Nintendo console anway since it is fared as a "family" machine... No matter what it gets released as... It will have at least a "M" rating which just means you have to be of age to get it......  Sounds like a great game...never played the first though.  Would like to get the original version that T2 planned to release... wonder if that is possible.

The worst part about things like this is that, The rating system is voluntary, so companies do not have to submit a game for rating before selling it. However, most game publishers in the United States use the system. The reason they use the system is because the sponsers usually will not give any companies money if they don't use the system. If a company were to put up it's own cash and release a game that didn't use the stupid rating system, I for one would buy a bunch of copies just off of principle. We need to stop letting random people put ratings on games they don't understand, never play, and try to limit our enjoyment by forcing developers to change the incredible game that they made to something more mediocre

im getting sick of briten with there fear of games

ima do a manhunt execution on the BBFC director and film it lol, that should show them!

Doesn't concern me since I live in America.

thats bulls!!t

Oh, screw this. It's BBFC that controls the whole European market, right? This way, R* might as well cancel the whole European launch. Noone's going to buy it anyway I guess.

i don't understand the problem?? can they not release the game at all?? i mean this game clearly shouldn't be played by children under the age of 18 so what is Rockstar trying to get it rated at??  i feel way too many games get by too easy as it is with these ratings....and then game stores selling them to kids who are clearly underage is worse. i am glad they aren't giving it a rating that would allow children to play this game. at least let their parents be forced to judge if it is ok for them. i wouldn't want my kids playing this and alot of parents don't have the time to keep an eye on what their kids play or purchase. at least they would have to be aware what this game is about and how callous this game is. now if we could just get america to wake up and fix the ratings and start cracking down on underage gaming. that said....i can't wait to pick this up. should be a killer game.

F-you  BBFC. I'll just import it.

This game can't be any worse than the first Manhunt. I reckon someone put preasure on BBFC not to allow the game come to UK at all.

I bet David Cooke is someone who has watched far worse in his personal collection and snorts crack at the same time.

aww crap. well since i can't kill people viciously in video games....

THEN I GUESS I'LL DO IT IN REAL LIFE!!

yeah, haven't these people ever heard of "emotional outlets"?

I played the first one and the executions were really really graphic. I understand why BBFC wont allow a second one to be released, although I dont agree with them. but one can understand their concern, those images can really damage a young and fragile mind.

I guess I am the only gamer here that agrees with the decision. They did not ban the game because of violence people. Get your facts right. They did not care how graphic or intense it was. They banned it because "...the bleakness and callousness of tone" , which is arguably a good reason. They banned this because this game has a sociopathic outlook on murder. They realize that GRAW2 ,for example can be as blood-y and realistic as real warr, and it probably wont be banned. BUT, to go around and brutally victimize people for no redeeming cause whatsoever is a major cause for concern. I for one think they did they right thing in banning this. Face it, even if this game was released rated AO ,and the console makers allowed an AO game, this game would still make it into the hands of children and teens. You all know this to be a fact, as you all just said "i will just download it then" or "time to import it then", so banning it just makes it harder for youth to get a hold of this. And you know what? Censorship is neccessary at times. That is the cold truth we have to realize, that a balance between freedom of expression and protection of civility must be maintained. Besides would you want your 6 year old brother or child to walk in on you playing a game that has you smashing someones skull in with a hammer with a complete lack of remorse? How would that make you feel? If it would not evoke any response in you, then you just proved my point as to why these games should be banned.
