Rockstar Chairman 'Disappointed' By BBFC Appeal News
Strauss Zelnick speaks out against the BBFC's application for a judicial review on a UK release of Manhunt 2...

Take-Two Interactive's Chairman, Strauss Zelnick has today released a statement revealing the publisher's very obvious disappointment to yesterday's news that the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has applied for a judicial review of the Video Appeals Committee (VAC) vote to overturn the ban on Manhunt 2.
Earlier in the month, the VAC voted narrowly in favour of Rockstar Games' appeal against the BBFC's decision not to award the game an age classification - effectively banning Manhunt 2 for a UK release.
In the statement, Zelnick commented:
"We are disappointed that the BBFC has decided to appeal its own Video Appeals Committee's judgment in favor of an 18-plus certificate for Manhunt 2. We believe the VAC decision was correct and do not understand the BBFC's decision to expend further public resources to censor a game that contains content well within the bounds established by the BBFC's 18-plus ratings certification."
It's unclear whether the BBFC will be granted a judicial review, but either way, it looks like gamers here in the UK won't be getting their hands on the tension-filled title anytime soon.

well they can just give it a 18+ rating and start enforcing the sale of games to minors just like ciggarets and alcohol its that easy .anyway how many little divs can afford 35-40 quid for a game when there released.next they will want to ban porn!!!

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.
