Manhunt appeal could take months

via Computer and Video Games

UK trade paper MCV is reporting that Rockstar's case, being considered by the BBFC, will take a considerable amount of time to come to a head. It warns that this could leave the publisher in danger of releasing the game long after after the intial wave of hype is over.

James Pond (we're off to change our names at lunch after seeing that), associate at law firm Osbourne Clarke, said told MCV, "Rockstar has taken a while to build its case, so they've obviously been taking stock of what the BBFC have said. They will have to work together to agree on making the right cuts. But there could be problems if the BBFC feels that the violence running throughout the game is too much - it's not like a film where you can just cut certain scenes."

I think that when Manhunt 2 finally gets a release it won't be the same game, it will be cut down so much it would be similar to a 15 rated game but with an 18 rating

Technically, there is nothing wrong with the game. I think all the speculations over the Manhunt series came from a killing of somebody (a dumb kid) playing the game, which led to a recall on the game in some countries.
