Rockstar Games' Manhunt 2 has been to all intents and
purposes banned in the UK after the British Board of Film
Classification (BBFC) refused to certify the PS2 and Wii title.
Without a BBFC certificate, the game can't legally be sold
here.

The BBFC's verdict of the game is damning: "Manhunt 2
is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its
unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall game
context which constantly encourages visceral killing with
exceptionally little alleviation or distancing," the organisation
said today.
