Manhunt 2 Finally Dated in UK - Image 1Rockstar finally gets to release Manhunt 2  (Wii, PSP) in the UK after a long and grueling year-long battle against the BBFC. UK gamers can expect the game to hit shelves on October 31.

Perfect timing too. Guess UK gamers have some inspiration for their Halloween costumes?

This is the modified version of the game that was released in North America exactly a year ago. If you remember, this technically this isn't the "original" version of Manhunt 2. The first version submitted to ratings boards was either faced with a ban or a rating that was too high for being too violent.

Hackers later managed to find a code that will partially lift the game's censors, which led to to more trouble for the game as it caused Target to it from shelves days after its release. Wonder if Rockstar was able to take care of that little loophole for the UK release.

I loved ManHunt too..

.. can't complain about anything. But with all the ruckus it has made in the past, I doubt Rockstar would make a 3rd title. I'm hoping not, but who knows?

the game was meh

I've got the uncut version on my PS2 and I've seen more offensive things on TV (like Big Brother... *shudders*). The BBFC (and other rating authorities) made a mountain out of a molehill. The game is no worse than GTA4. I wonder if Australia will get this game...
