BBFC taking the VAC's decision to High Court

Published at 7:59 AM PST

Today the BBFC announced that it would be taking the VAC’s decision to have Manhunt 2 classified in the UK to the High Court. The BBFC are hoping to keep the game from reaching stores across the country so don’t be expecting the game in the UK for some time yet. Heres what the BBFC had to say:

“The BBFC is contesting the VAC judgement because in the Board’s view, it is based on an approach to harm which is an incorrect interpretation of the Video Recordings Act. The VAC judgement, if allowed to stand, would have fundamental implications with regard to all the Board’s decisions, including those turning upon questions of unacceptable levels of violence.”

It's a shame that Manhunt 2 is facing all these difficulties...
