"The British Board of Film Classification's successfully argued that the game had been approved for release on a misinterpretation of the law."

Rockstar must be getting a bit ****** off now. Told that it is fine then getting the decision turned around.

I, personally, am not bothered about playing the game but this is getting a bit ridiculous.

Do you think they are stopping it as they are sure under 18's will play it?
 
Well didnt you know? If you wrap everything in cotton wool the problem will go away ;)

But in all seriousness, well said. I really couldnt careless about Manhunt 2, since if I dont like something I dont play it. Its more about the principal of the matter for me because what is going to stop them going after other games when someone else decides its not suitable for anyone to play? :rolleyes:

I'm not saying let kids play the game but why the hell should adults have to suffer just because some parents cant keep an eye on what their kids are up to? It doesnt take a lot of effort to talke a small interest and keep an eye on what they are playing.

Couldn't agree more. Don't really care about Manhunt 2 but instead what it could mean in the future.
They are deciding what we can and can't play.
If it is being banned to stop under 18's playing it then what is the point of the BBFC in the first place.
However, if it is to stop over 18's playing it, surely we can decide that for ourselves.
Parents that don't take an interest in what their kids watch or play should not be angry at anyone else if they find out it is violent or inappropriate for their child.
