Shocking game has ban lifted

The evil and demented horror game, Manhunt 2, has won its 9 month legal battle against the BBFC to have its ban lifted.

It was banned in 2007 after being accused of having overly graphic and gory content. also it was seen that the film was unsuitable for children and for that reaason should not be sold in the UK. However, it is now free to be sold and purchased in brittish shops, further increasing the chance that children of an unsuitable age obtaining a copy.

Although the game has been modified in order for it to pass the BBFC's quidelines, there is still an unnecessary amount of gore. th creators of the game, Rockstar, beleived that the game is well within the legal boundaries and not even the most gruesome game on the market.

They also argued that the system used for the certification of media, should be revised to take into account the gaming industry. especially as more games of the type will surely be produced, and with the vast array of new media technology that we, and in this case young children, have at our finger tips, they are not safe from the danger's that these types of medium produce.
