Europe's Manhunt 2 green-lighted...in Holland |
Ó
While gamers in parts of Europe have a long road ahead regarding their copy of Take-Two Interactive's Manhunt 2 (PSP, Wii), word is out that the game is expected to be released in the Netherlands. According to Holland Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin, this is because existing Dutch laws do not authorize banning games due to violent content.The Minster noted that theoretically, it would still be possible to prosecute people who distributed the game to people under the age of 16 provided the images were violent enough. "The current law is based on the principle that every adult is considered capable of deciding for himself which games he wants to play, unless it contains illegal material," said Mr. Ballin in a letter to the Dutch Parliament.
Ballin further noted that the decision of what sort of video games children are allowed to play is "the joint responsibility of parents, the audiovisual industry and the government." Ballin wrote in the letter a plea for unified EU standard for video game ratings. As it stands, Manhunt 2 has been re-rated M by North America's ESRB, and has been cleared for an October 31 launch in the region.

Ah that's why i love my country :)
we don't give a crap bout stuff like that. we allow almost anything in movies and games.
I guess teh question is, are they getting the unedited version so i can import it?
Guess what i will be putting on ebay :D ... I live in a dirty rotten place......... We just believe its the responsibility of the parents/stores. HE ITS YOUR KID SO LOOK AFTER HIM/HER :D:D
Yeahhhhh! Eat it BBFC, CCFC Jackass Thompson and Leland Yee. All these douch bag people and organizations have lost and should now STFU! Take Two / Rock Star WINS! Its a shame they didn't win without needing to editing the content first though.
i felt so happy when i saw "europe's manhunt 2 green-lighted" YAY ... then i saw "...in Holland"...
IMPORT.......ever heard of the internet :D
we need the unedited. I wonder how much more gore can they put in? oO; *drools*
Wij Nederlanders ownen jullie dikke USA'rs hard! :P
Aah heerlijk toch, ik hou van onze politiek :P I love my country, everyone will start importing it like a motherf :P
Thank you hirsch ballin xD I love my Netherlands Nederland oo nederland, jij bent mijn kampioen
The Netherlands win again :P Nederland doet het weer. xD
Holland for live :D We don't fear games, we just plat them!! wilders for president:P
Normaal vind ik Nederland idiote zakken, maar m'n noorderburen stijgen nu hoog in mijn achting...
This is the first time that I see politicians actually making sense, on another note, we need more no non-sense laws here in the US.
thats why your country is the way it is
Wilders for president, lol =p=p Heeft die mongool van een Hirsch Ballin toch nog wat goed gedaan als minister....
I mean, weed is legal in Holland. But it's not negative so many things are allowed there, it's just that dutch people are very responsible, organized, educated that they're not affected by negative variants that much as in the US, UK, ect.
3 w00ts 4 Holland!!1!
We've been at this since the dawn of time. Lets not worry about morals if it brings money.
outravez a falar sobre este jogo paleleiro... Este site e mesmo fodido e mal pago. Se nao tem outra coisa para falar que peguem na pombinha e vaiam brincar para a areia.
So is the UNCUT version going to be released October 31 still?? or does it have a different release date?
lol someone will release the rip and we can all pirate it! whooo-hooo! altho im not gonna play...this gam is so messed up what is the fun in killing and torturing for no reason wutsoevr? it makes my skin crawl.
Nu gaat die gast van de pvda dijsellbloem waarschijnlijk weer zeiken dat de game niet op de markt mag komen!
you meant awesome huh ^.^
If someone plays manhunt they will become a serial killer! Just as people turned into yellow blobs, started sayin "waka eaka" only lived on pills and where afraid of ghosts when they played pac man in the eightes!
en wat denk je van de christenunie die gaan waarschijnlijk ook zeiken
everything goes in computergames in the netherlands, sex drugs, voilence. in fact we do have a low crime rate, we legalized prostitution (instead of closing our eyes to the oldest profession in the world) and we allow people to buy small amounts and smoke weed (sadly we did not legalised it yet). still we have less percentage of people smoking pot than in belgium or the uk. And on the magic muschroom matter: 90% of the people that have problems with muschrooms are TOURISTS! we have it all but still we don't go crazy and shoot people up. suck on that Thompson.
No Wilders for president please, he probably would ban games in the Netherlands... @Rock Star, keep those great games commin'!
Arme idioten zuigen enorme ballen.
So now we're not only famous because of the coffeeshops, but also 'cause of manhunt :-)
Aaaaight, vette *****. Lekker voor die schijtamerikanen dat ze em geedit krijgen Nederland is gewoon PWNAGE
Die mongool van een Dijsselbloem kan er toch geen ene flikker aan doen. Het is de wet, je weet tog...:')
