Manhunt 2 - 18 cert in the UK.

March 15, 2008

After months of legal appeals Manhunt 2 will go on sale in the UK and will not be banned as previously expected due to its extreme violence. When the original was released it was blamed for a number of deaths in real life so the BBFC took a number of issues into consideration when judging if the sequel would be fit to play in the UK. A retail date is yet to be announced.

What does this mean for you? In this case it looks like capitalism has beaten good taste and a lot more violent titles will be able to make it past the conservative law makers. Good news for fans of violent games, bad news for GTA hater Jack Thompson.
