It's been a long, hard, tedious battle but it's all over now. Rockstar now has their hands on a ratings certificate for the censored version of Manhunt 2 with a rating of 18+. The Video Appeals Committee has come to a decision that their previous OK of the game will still stand forcing the British Board of Censorship Classification to rate the game 18+. Rockstar has released a statement saying:

"We are pleased that the VAC has reaffirmed its decision recognizing that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18+ rated entertainment. Rockstar Games is committed to making great interactive entertainment, while also marketing our products responsibly and supporting an effective rating system."

Now that the rating problem is out of the way, Rockstar should be announcing a release date soon pending manufacturing. Personally, I hope everyone gets and enjoys Manhunt 2 as it's a great game regardless of the reviews the game has received.
