Europe's Manhunt 2 green-lighted...in Holland

Manhunt 2 - Image 1While 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.

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.

# Holland is soft on everything...Guest 2007-08-30 09:37
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.

# great newsGuest 2007-08-30 20:56
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.
