Australia to ban Manhunt 2 too? |
Ó
Now it seems that Manhunt 2 will not be arriving in Australian shores as well. The Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) review board has yet to issue an official statement on the matter but insiders from Australia's Federal government believe that OFLC's decision will be similar to that of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
"We don't want to preempt the decision of the Office of Film and Literature Classification Review Board but it is looking very doubtful," commented a representative from the Attorney General's department. It should be remembered that the original Manhunt was released in the Land Down Under and sold 18,000 copies on Xbox and PlayStation 2 (PS2).
OFLC has been aggressive in recent times in "refusing to classify" controversial titles such as this. Among the various video game titles which weren't released in Australia include Grand Theft Auto III, the Postal franchise, and even Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.
As of this writing, the initial release date of Manhunt 2 both for Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Portable in North America still stands.

Unless the developers make some changes, it is not looking good for this game.
ya its sad so many people have died for freedom and these people are "protecting us" F()CK JACK THOMPSON F()CK AUTHORITY
jack thompson is a war draft dodger and he shouldnt be allowed to have a mouth. Jack Thompson is a weasley little slime ball and probaly a closet pidifile. Jack wii dont care what you think and wii want you out of ower way so get a life and leave video games alone you garbage sob.
I find it kind of weird how they have censorship of speech in so many countries like the uk and apperently the U.S by not allowing the game to be sold there (who makes these decisions) but these countries dont put the effort into putting roman polanski in prison despite him raping little girls and being a fugitive for like 30 yrs, and depsite of how easy he is to reach in France or Poland, and allow polanski to keep making movies because its "freedom of speech". Apperently those countries dont find it disturbing that a child rapist is making movies and distributng them there, and even allow holywood to give him academy awards, but find a violoent game bannable.
NO $$HIT THIS IS A HYPOCRITICAL CONSPIRASY.and rockstar is taking the brunty of the blow and its not rite.
Manhunt 2 has been banned in Ireland too, as of this morning as far as I know. "in some films or video games strong graphic violence may be a justifiable element within the overall context of the work. However, in the case of this game, there was no context and the brutality was unrelenting and gratuitous."
Thank GOD this game is being banned and attacked from everywhere, hopefully this game won't be released
