Manhunt 2 Banned In Uk!

[declaration]

Football Manager was banned in China iirc because they referred to Taiwan as a country.

The funny thing being that the police would go into markets and confiscate pirated copies of the game not giving a shit about the copyright infringements.

PAL Manhunt 2 Uncut has been leaked onto the internet for the PS2

I believe the Wii version has been as well. I might be wrong though as I remember reading about the leak. Tell us what its like Steve-o if you get a chance to play it.

Its great .. Only played the first 2 levels and so far I like it. Its quite a violent game Eg stabbing someone in the back at the bottom of the spine with a Crowbar and twisting it, stabbing someone and slitting their throat with a bit of broken glass etc so be warned if your thinking about buying this for your 10 year old kid . So far it looks alot more violent than the first one and I have only used 3 weapons to kill people with!!.

All I have to say is buy it!! I will be importing the Netherlands version as its getting released fully Uncut over their

Will let you know more info about it when I have played it more

Probably just the BBFC.

Dont do that .. Rockstar will have them removed and will most likely keep your details on record You tube had loads of videos after the leak but Rockstar removed them.

you just get it from somwhere and burn it to DVD and play it on your modded PS2.

Another twist in the Manhunt 2 ban. Well not a twist but.... Anyway, the BBFC have denied the revised version of the game for release in the UK on both the Wii and the PS2. Looks like it will never ever come out in the UK. So if you do want the game, best just import it from the Netherlands.

You even by an 18 rated game and you could get arrested in germany.

BS! You cannot get arrested in Germany for buying a game. You cannot get arrested in Germany for owning a game aswell. German laws restrict distributors to sell games rated 18+ only to adults, however, games that do not receive a rating can be sold to whoever is buying (until they get rated that is). We do have a special list of banned games though, that is called the "index". You cannot get arrested for selling a banned game, you can be fined though, and I think there might be other consequences aswell. Owning a banned game is not a crime though. They might confiscate it for certain reasons, but usually you can import any violent movie or game you want to unless it is strictly criminal (you cannot possess child porn and the likes).

Games in Germany get banned for the following reasons: Extreme violence, depiction of banned symbols (swastika etc), glorification of the third reich and racism/antisemitism blah.
If the game is changed in order to rectify these things, it can be rated again and then distributed. Lots of releases in Germany have the blood removed or instead of red blood they have green blood. Or you are not able to severe parts of bodies, spread out their intestines and such things. If there are banned symbols in the game such as the swastika in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the devs can replace these graphics with a placeholder and it can be sold afterwards.


Back on topic: Censorship is stupid in most cases. People should be able to decide themselves what they would like to be entertaining them. If people like snuff and want to play a game revolving around graphic violence, cruelty and torture only, they should. Still, I cannot find any point in playing manhunt 1 or 2. Whatever anyone here offers as an excuse for playing the game, the reason is known by everyone and remains the same: sheer brutality. It really doesn't offer anything else gameplay-wise. I really don't give a crap about the game and it doesn't bother me that it is banned in the uk and will get banned in germany. Really folks, don't try to elevate this issue to some civil-rights infriction. There is things that really piss me off for being censored in germany, like halflife for example. Both games of the series had in-depth gaming, an astonishing story and a shitload of other reasons for leaving it the fuck alone... but no, german idiocracy has struck again... blood has been turned yellow, people do not die anymore but duck into some corner and soldiers are now robots. I wanna see that done with one of the flipping thrillers running on national tv each night where people are being raped, shot and beaten to death. wtf? Can't they treat a good game just like a good movie?
