Manhunt 2 banned in UK - again!

Even though revised version of Manhunt 2 got an M for Mature rating from the ESRB, Brits banned the game again. British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) again denied the classification of the game since the changes to the revised Manhunt 2 are not enough. Manhunt 2 was due on July 13th, and is only the second game ever banned in the UK.

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.
