BBFC Not draconian to Manhunt 2

Upcoming Manhunt 2 game got banned in the US and UK, Rockstar revised the game and it passed in the US but the UK ban was not lifted. Rockstar got pissed off and submitted an appeal, fighting for game to be released, but British Board of Film Classification stood still. BBFC spokeswoman Sue Clark issued a statement regarding Manhunt 2, and the reasons behind BBFC rejection of revised game classification even though ESRB rated granted it Mature classification in the US.

Sue Clark, BBFC spokeswoman
Manhunt 2 is the second game we have rejected in 23 years. I’d hardly call that draconian. DVD companies don’t complain when we reject their products. The creator of the Struggle In Bondage didn’t get up in arms. Manhunt 2 went beyond our guidelines when it came to gross violence and we had a public duty to reject it.
