Manhunt 2 - October 31st

[Johno]

I'm surprised it's not been posted yet (or it has and I have just totally missed it!)

Manhunt 2 has been given a release date of October 31st by Rockstar!

Time to sharpen your axes because controversial gorefest Manhunt 2 is coming to the UK this Halloween.

Rockstar has finally given a release date of October 31 for the grisly game, a full 7 months after the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) was forced to give it an '18' rating. It was originally banned in June last year.

So why did it take 7 months after the clearance for a launch here? No one's saying but there's no chance Rockstar is going to miss the Christmas run-up.

Those wanting a cure for all that Christmas kindness will probably find something suitably brutal and nasty in Manhunt 2, where death by axes, power drills, syringes and anything else you can grab is the order of the day.

At the time of trying to ban it second time around in March, the BBFC said:

"We twice rejected Manhunt 2, and then pursued a judicial review challenge, because we considered, after exceptionally thorough examination, that it posed a real potential harm risk."

The game has been out in the US for a year, proving to be one of the biggest sellers, and in 3 weeks UK splatter fans will be able to get it on the PS2, PSP and Wii.

Is it just me, or does there appear to be no mention of the X360 and the PS3?

Sorry, what I mean't was I would have expected it to be on the Xbox and the PS3.

Its just out on PC?

I suppose if it was on PS3/360 the graphics would be too realistic.

[Test:Tube:Baby]

Looking forward to it, but it's a shame it's not on the PS3.

Good thing though really, as I'd probably ending up getting scared

[Neil]

It's a shame it's boring as hell, better than the first one I guess though >.<
