Rockstar fights Manhunt 2 ban in UK, wins (for now)
You may remember that Rockstar appealed the BBFC's decision to refuse to rate Manhunt 2. Well, things seem to be finally going Rockstar's way, for once, as the Video Appeals Committee ruled in favor of the publisher by four votes to three. So, does this mean that this whole fiasco is over and Manhunt 2 will finally get its 18 rating? Not exactly. The BBFC can still take the case to the High Court in order to try to keep the ban on the game.
Whether you care about Manhunt 2 or not, we've already seen how the decision to ban the title in the UK has affected other games. At least this appeal is a step in the right direction regarding video game censorship.

The game is not that good... AI sucks, graphics are a big blur liek you if you drunk 500 bottle of bear, and somehow still alive. :(
I don't even know why they even put afford on "unbanning" the game

Sorry to all!
I pressed on "Enter" but instead of going to the next line, it posted my unread post. In addition, they are not "edit" buttons for me to perform any review.
Here is the correction version:
The game is not that good. For one the A.I. sucks and the graphics are a big blur, like as if you drank 500 bottle of beer, and somehow still alive. :(
I do not even know why they even put effort on this "unbanning" of their game.

why fight it? perhaps because it's the right thing to do? what will they ban next? all games shouldn't be like Petz. perhaps if this came sooner no more heroes would have blood in europe, and I then i would still want the game.
i dont like manhunt either but do i think it should be banned?
