Manhunt 2 could see uncut release

[KKND]

The BBFC has rejected          a revised version of the video game Manhunt 2. This follows the rejection          of the original version of the game in June. The distributor had set in          motion an appeal to the Video Appeals Committee against that decision,          and this was suspended while the revised version was considered for classification.
       David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said: “We          recognise that the distributor has made changes to the game, but we do          not consider that these go far enough to address our concerns about the          original version. The impact of the revisions on the bleakness and callousness          of tone, or the essential nature of the gameplay, is clearly insufficient.          There has been a reduction in the visual detail in some of the ‘execution          kills’, but in others they retain their original visceral and casually          sadistic nature.
       â€œWe did make suggestions for further changes          to the game, but the distributor has chosen not to make them, and as a          result we have rejected the game on both platforms. The decision on whether          or not an appeal goes ahead lies with the distributor.”
