So, despite having twice been banned by the BBFC, Manhunt 2 is finally due for a UK release. Firstly let me just say that I have not played the game, and that I have no basis on which to comment if it should or should not be released/banned/censored or whatever. What concerns me here are the inherent flaws in the UK’s video game rating and censorsing procedures that this whole process has exposed, and which surely must be addressed in view of the fact that the gaming industry is only due to get bigger, (current global net worth is £20bn a year) making similar situations in the future pretty likely.
