BBFC: Wii's motion-sensing not the reason why Manhunt 2 is still banned |
Ó
Those who are following the Manhunt 2 news probably know by now that, despite the fact that the controversial game (by Rockstar Studios for the Wii) will be released in the US (albeit after a cut or two), UK's BBFC is still standing by its decision to ban the game. But why? Considering that one of the Wii's selling points is adding more depth to the gaming experience by letting gamers simulate actual movements in game using the Wiimote, some gamers think that being able to act out violent blows more realistically using the Wii remote's motion sensor is the reason behind BBFC's insistence to ban the controversial title.
When asked about this theory, BBFC has denied banning the game due to its motion-sensing capabilities. Said BBFC's senior examiner Gianni Zamo:
Under certain circumstances and in certain contexts it is possible that motion-sensing devices might have an effect on category decisions. It is not a prime consideration for at the moment and has not affected any Wii games we have passed so far.
Zamo also said that Rockstar Studios' Manhunt 2 wasn't singled out for prompting gamers to perform realistic motions when carrying out acts of torture, the PSP and PS2 versions of the game are in fact banned in the UK as well. "Indeed, motion-sensing devices are nothing new," Zamo remarked.

But the UK BBFC sucks majorly. I hope someone bans them.
