Manhunt 2 is definitely sparking quite the stir, as it is being banned in many countries such as Spain, and now the U.K. I’m feeling as if the world is being censored from entertainment, but that’s just my opinion. Personally, I can’t wait for this game.
“Rockstar’s Manhunt 2 has been banned in the U.K. for what the British Board of Film Classification calls its ‘unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying.’ ‘There is sustained and cumulative casual sadism in the way in which these killings are committed, and encouraged, in the game.’ The company has six weeks to submit an appeal. The last game to be refused classification was Carmageddon in 1997. That decision was later overturned via the appeals process.”
