The Manhunt is back on in the UK

Well, for those of you in the UK who wanted to enjoy the ~~murder sim~~ latest game from Rockstar, your time will come. Even with all of the fuss about the game going down in the UK, the BBFC's decision to ban the game in the country has somehow been overturned by the VAC (Video Appeals Committee), who have decided to affix an age 18 certificate to the title (meaning you have to be that old to purchase it).

Although we've really heard nothing but bad things about Manhunt 2, surely some of you in the UK are happy to hear about this new state of affairs involving the game? Not like it matters, because thanks to the Freeloader, you could have just imported the game from North America.

[Thanks, Jon!]

I definately like that it's not banned anymore.

That said, I almost definately won't buy it, as from what I've seen and heard, it's pretty ass. MAAYBE a rental.

I always thought the BBFC judges a book by it's cover or in this case a game....as there are much more violent games out there...it only deserves to be banned for the fact that it sucks..........
Good to hear the game got a release though :)

Even with the freeloader, it still matters that this game was unbanned because of the censorship issue.

But yeah, this game sucks so don't waste your time, British folk :)
