Manhunt 2 Stuck In Legal Quagmire News

By Gwynne Dixon on 17/12/2007 The BBFC is applying for a judicial review of Rockstar's successful appeal against the game's UK ban...

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has announced that it's applying for a judicial review of the Video Appeals Committee's (VAC) decision to overturn Manhunt 2's ban. The BBFC also wishes to put any possible classification of the game on hold.

This follows Rockstar Games' successful appeal (via the VAC) earlier this month against the BBFC's initial ban on the game in the UK. The regulatory body's application for a judicial review is set to bog down the game in a legal quagmire, further delaying any possible future release of the game in the UK.

The BBFC gave the following reasons for requesting a judicial review:

"The BBFC is contesting the VAC judgement because in the Board's view, it is based on an approach to harm which is an incorrect interpretation of the Video Recordings Act. The VAC judgement, if allowed to stand, would have fundamental implications with regard to all the Board's decisions, including those turning upon questions of unacceptable levels of violence. If the VAC's decision is suspended, then the game will not be classified before the outcome of the Judicial Review."

Manhunt 2 is currently available in the US under an 'M for Mature' rating for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 2 and PSP consoles.

these are the alternate endings of manhunt 2 DONT READ IF YOU HAVE THE GAME and havent played the end. the first end is danny kills leo. danny automatically wakes up in the middle of a street somewhere and recieves a letter of his new identity and a address to go to live in and basically he has to start a new life and it is a cliffhanger sort of. the second ending is leo killing danny in a shootout sadly. he steps on danny and kills him after he makes him angry by saying oh i killed your wife and that. then like the physcho he is he screams i wooooooooooooooooooooooooooon and wakes up. a nurse wakes danny up and tells him hes been in a coma the past 3 weeks. leo is know 100% control of danny's body. he asks the nurse if he can have a minute then looks in the mirror and see leo face. but he is in danny's body and that is the end. cool endings both ways. thanking you for reading post comments if you wish.

I played this game last few days, it so nice, everything it's very nice, specially the dialogue. It's realy different from the other survival horror, I played. It's realistic, It'seems I feel the presence of the enemy, like I played I was the character in the story. Very good, excellent.
