Although the difference should not be exaggerated the fact of the game’s unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying and the sheer lack of alternative pleasures on offer to the gamer

Hvorfor nevner de det?

 

Dette spillet går ut på å drepe, drepe, drepe, på morsomme, sadistiske og faktisk litt praktiske måter. Det holder i massevis for å underholde en gamer.

BBFC Rejects Video Game

 

The BBFC has rejected the video game Manhunt 2. This means that it cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK. The game was submitted in both a PS2 and a Nintendo Wii version. The decision was taken by the Director and the Presidential Team of Sir Quentin Thomas, Lord Taylor of Warwick and Janet Lewis-Jones.

 

David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said:

 

“Rejecting a work is a very serious action and one which we do not take lightly. Where possible we try to consider cuts or, in the case of games, modifications which remove the material which contravenes the Board’s published Guidelines. In the case of Manhunt 2 this has not been possible. Manhunt 2 is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall game context which constantly encourages visceral killing with exceptionally little alleviation or distancing. There is sustained and cumulative casual sadism in the way in which these killings are committed, and encouraged, in the game.

 

“Although the difference should not be exaggerated the fact of the game’s unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying and the sheer lack of alternative pleasures on offer to the gamer, together with the different overall narrative context, contribute towards differentiating this submission from the original Manhunt game. That work was classified ‘18’ in 2003, before the BBFC’s recent games research had been undertaken, but was already at the very top end of what the Board judged to be acceptable at that category.”

 

“Against this background, the Board’s carefully considered view is that to issue a certificate to Manhunt 2, on either platform, would involve a range of unjustifiable harm risks, to both adults and minors, within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and accordingly that its availability, even if statutorily confined to adults, would be unacceptable to the public.”

Under the terms of the Video Recordings Act distributors have the right to appeal the Board’s decision.

 

Note for Editors

This is the first video game to be refused a classification since Carmageddon in 1997, when that decision was overturned on appeal by the Video Appeals Committee.

Spill blir ikke "bannet" i norge, store kjeder som Elkjøp og lignende nekter som regel å selge dem.

Mulig det. Er bare det at jeg har aldri opplevd at Space World har nektet å selge et spill fordi det er for brutalt.

Hva er det spillet går ut på egentlig?

Er det noe ala Hitman? Er jo utrolig gøy å drepe folksa på blood money på så mange forskjellige måter!  :D

1Ern gikk ut på at en fange dømt til døden ble "reddet" av en kar som drev med snuff. Det vil si, folk betalte han mye penger for å se andre bli drept. Fangen fikk beskjed at dersom han drepte nok folk, på mest mulig brutal måte, ville han til slutt kunne gå fri. De han drepte var også ansatt, ikke vanlige mennesker altså. Rått spill, god stemning. :thumbup:
