Report: Manhunt 2 (Nintendo Wii, PS2) Ban Will Be Appealed

It looks like hope is still alive for Wii and PS2 gamers that have been anticipating playing Manhunt 2 in the UK.

The Rockstar title had been scheduled for release on Nintendo Wii and PS2 but a ban by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) put Manhunt 2 in purgatory.  However, a new report by the website CVG claims that the publisher plans to appeal the controversial decision.

“A source who wished to remain anonymous told CVG that the firm will indeed appeal against the decision and that the company believes the game could be released in around six weeks’ time. Whether this means in its current form, or a toned down, edited version is unclear,” the website reports.

The BBFC has given them a six-week time period to appeal the decision.  Currently, Rockstar is remaining mum on its intentions, with a spokesperson telling the site that the company ”is considering all its options.”
