James_banned Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Yay I will finally be able to get my hands on this.
Gizmo Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Wouldn't it be funny if the guy who tested it for the BBFC turned out to be a mass murderer.

Zelda_Rulez Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Manhunt 2 Re-Banned High Court blocks Manhunt 2 Phil Elliott 09:22 (BST) 25/01/2008 Judge orders Appeals Committee to rethink decision on legal flaw Rockstar's battle to get Manhunt 2 on to the shelves of UK stores took another twist yesterday as the High Court ruled against the Video Appeals Committee, who had previously overturned the British Board of Film Classification's decision to prevent the game from going on sale. Mr Justice Mitting told the committee that it must reconsider its decision, reached by a narrow majority, because it had committed a "clear error of law" in relating the game to the question of harm. According to a report in The Metro the BBFC had argued that the VAC's original decision had threatened to undermine its position as a content watchdog, not just for videogames but for other entertainment genres, such as film. The result means that publisher Rockstar, who had attempted to submit a new edition based on the cuts made for the now-passed and M-rated US edition of the game, is still unable to sell the game in the UK.

darksnowman Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Lol. Sure the game isn't that bad? I think they are just goin a bit too far and making an example out of this in particular. Not that its even meant to be a great game.
Cube Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Lol. Sure the game isn't that bad? I think they are just goin a bit too far and making an example out of this in particular. Not that its even meant to be a great game. It's not even about the game anymore... According to a report in The Metro the BBFC had argued that the VAC's original decision had threatened to undermine its position as a content watchdog, not just for videogames but for other entertainment genres, such as film. It's just about their reputation.
Gizmo Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, everyone has passed caring about this now. If they had gotten it banned, then unbanned quickly and released, alot of people would have bought it out of principle. Now, nobody cares and it's just about the ego's of the two organisations.
Cube Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Well. Manhunt 2 was banned, appealed against, banned, then appealed against again which succeeded but was then overruled and now the appeal has finally finished. Manhunt 2 will finally be released in the UK. http://gonintendo.com/?p=37843
Strange Cookie Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 ... Truth be told, I don't really care if they release this or not. There are better games that deserve my attention.
... Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 http://gonintendo.com/?p=37843 "(...) However, the Video Appeals Committee has again exercised its independent scrutiny. It is now clear, in the light of this decision, and our legal advice, that we have no alternative but to issue an ‘18’ certificate to the game." Haha, BBFC = pwn3d finally. I don't really care for the game anymore either, but it SHOULD be released. Fuck the BBFC.
Owen Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I wouldn't build your hopes up on this being amazingly fantastic because frankly it isn't. It's a good, thriller type game, which comes across quite old-fashioned now, thankfully the wii-controls are very good! Afterall this hyping up about how sick it is, sure..i suppose it's the sickest game out there, but i think it's got too much attention and anyones high expectations could well be squashed after playing it for an hour or so... Thats my opinion anyway! To be honest, i wouldn't of bothered trying to release it here now, it will draw unwanted attention to the games industry which could see some huge changes because of it, and that won't be good!
dazzybee Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Wish they released the unaltered version, just to see how sick it REALLY was. So is the game good fun Owen or really average? I'm tempted by it, especially when it's in a sale!

I'm tempted by it, especially when it's in a sale! It's fun because it has a great thriller type story, i suppose it could be still worth a purchase because of that! The killing is pretty sick, obviously, but the wii controls are very good, i give it that! Other then that the gameplay is quite average. If you've played the first one, you'll like this (i personally think it's slightly better then the first).
dazzybee Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah, I'll pick this up when it's £20 or under.
... Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 And here we go again... http://wii.ign.com/articles/916/916595p1.html They mention that its slated for a late October release in Europe... Hadn't heard about that.
Zechs Merquise Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I might pick this up, but it's not the number one game on my list.
Aalborg Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 still censored right? i wouldnt wipe my behind with it... now the un-censored version that's another story
Tellyn Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 And here we go again... http://wii.ign.com/articles/916/916595p1.html They mention that its slated for a late October release in Europe... Hadn't heard about that. Yeah, October 31st. It's pretty pointless, they've literally butchered their own game to high hell. Considering it still got banned when there was NO visible violence, only suggestions of it, this really doesn't bode well for MadWorld.

It was the REAL depiction of violence and the context it was in. You can't get more violent than Mortal Kombat yet thats been fine since day 1. Madworld is so stylised and cartoony it will be absolutely fine!

darksnowman Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I reckon I'll be givin Manhunt 2 a miss... but don't talk about Mortal Kombat like that, my Snes cartridge is fine just the way it is so don't hurt its poor, bloodless feelings.
ShadowV7 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I don't really have any interest in this at all just now, especially now since our version is filled with cute teddy bears and hugs now. I even seen this in America and just didn't feel the urge to buy it, so doubt I ever will here.
