Rockstar unhappy with BBFC over Manhunt 2
Rockstar the developer of the controversial computer game Manhunt 2 is very unhappy after the BBFC again refused to classify an edited version of the game for a 18 plus classification! However Rockstar is thankfully fighting back saying that adults have the right to chose what they can and can't play on their computers and has vowed to fight the BBFC decision. I'm right with them too, not because I'm a fan of violence and gore, but I hate this nanny state in which we live telling us we can or can't watch this film or play this game because my head might explode! 
A Rockstar statement said "We are continuing to appeal the British Board of Film Classification's decision to deny the edited version of Manhunt 2 an 18-plus certificate and thereby ban its release in the United Kingdom. The changes necessary in order to publish the game in Britain are unacceptable to us and represent a setback for videogames. The BBFC allows adults the freedom to decide for themselves when it comes to horror in movies and we think adults should be similarly allowed to decide for themselves when it comes to horror in videogames, such as Manhunt 2."
Rock on Rockstar.
