Taken from gopetition.co.uk:

"The BBFC have banned the game Manhunt 2, saying it is 'Morally irresponsible'. Even though many ultra violent/graphic films such as 'Hostel 2' have been awarded 18 certificates Manhunt has been shunned.

It seems that the BBFC has fallen prey to political pressure over this game, with many people suggesting that the original Manhunt was the cause of a stabbing of a 14 year old boy in 2004; even though a police investigation determined the motive of the stabbing was robbery, and the only relation between the game Manhunt and the attacker was that he owned a copy*.

*Many people have commented that it was the 14 year old victim who owned a copy of the game and not the attacker. At the moment though I am only going by what the BBC have reported on the incident (See sources)."

You don't really think this will work, do you?

Don't encourage Rockstar’s unhealthy habit of making ULTRA Violent games just for the free publicity of having them banned.

Not really, but whatever... I couldn't hurt.

Rockstar can do what they want... That's what this is about. Censorship is a bad thing, as it takes away the right for people to make and play whatever they want.

Stuff like this is making us revert back to the days of claiming someone's a witch, and burning them at the stake. Only now the "witches" are Rockstar and the "burning" is taking away their right to freely create what they wish.

I dont think it will work but hey its worth a shot.

[mesosade]

everyone! all aboard the bandwagon heading off the cliff!

[Demolition49]

i signed all of them, i dobut it will help but no harm in trying.

[Mister Klownes]

I signed them all, and I also doubt it will accomplish anything. I'm actually not against them censoring the game and releasing one toned down enough for an M rating, so long as they're allowed to produce their original idea, and that Sony and Nintendo won't shut them down with an AO. It seems foolish that they'd deprive themselves of game sales, for what the ESRB considers enough adult material to merit and extra year of life, minimum.

Everyone keeps saying that this is a violation of free speech. This is true but at the same time just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should. Ithink R* should have used a little common sense when making this game they most likely knew it was going to be very graphic half way through the development. But they chose to keep upping the ante to the levels they have now.

this will never work but its fun trying
