Manhunt 2 Stuck In Legal Quagmire News

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.

I gotta stop reading this site, the posters are clearly unintelligent and can't tell the difference between the ESRB and the BBFC. Pretty much Anonymous = moron here.
