Censorship in the UK


Will it be censored within the UK?Like I can see it not getting the AO version but will the executions still be blurred ect.

reply

Of course they will. There's no way will we be getting The AO rated version...which is a pity as it's the greatest game ever. The m version sucks.
Hopefully, they'll see sense and release it uncut in Belgium, Scandinavia and The Netherlands where we can import it legally.

Why is there no way?The Byron report that was made by the government about cencorship in the UK wanted no censorship, but stricter ratings and punishments...

It's not available uncut anywhere except online to
download as an illegal BETA early AO rated version
on PS2. This is the only way gamers can experience
this awesome game in its uncut form at present.
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo won't allow AO rated games
to be brought out on their consoles so that put's paid
to PSP, PS2, Wii and PC versions seeing an uncut release
any time soon. The only way, is if R* release the uncut
version in The Netherlands/Belgium/Scandinavia as these
are the only places that are allowed to have Manhunt 2
released uncut legally. We can all import then as that's
legal to do and we'd all be happy and perhaps all this
crap about violence will be forgotten after they see that
Manhunt 2 really wasn't that bad at all. COME ON R*, MAKE
US ALL HAPPY CHAPPIES.

We don't have the same rating system as you....we have u,pg,12,15,18...there is no AO style of rating within the UK,unless the BBFC were to class it as R18 (Pornography). So that's why I think there is a slim chance...

I’m frome the UK and I wish I could say undertaker is wong but it looks like he is right! if you look at the bbfc website you can see the running time is the same as the censored game that was rejected.

Even in the bbfc news it says rockstar appealed the censored version http://www.bbfc.co.uk/news/pressnews.php

but one little bit of hope is still thar on the manhunt 2 page it says “This work was passed with no cuts made.” And it dose not say it is the modified version. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/45236E635BF5F2328025740C005DBAE4?OpenDocument

However don’t get your hopes up because as you say it is a very slim chance.

Ah so we might get the uncesored version but not the testicle ripping AO banned version America was denied...well that's pretty cool.

i hate the BBFC, why cant they just let games be released with warnings and 18s? just because parents are irresponsible enough to let their kids play 18s, the people who are over 18 and are mature enough have to suffer and lose out.
censorship is a joke!!
