Manhunt 2 Has Rockstar On The Front Foot
After the various tabloid mishaps surrounding the original, you'd have figured Rockstar's legal team would be fully armed and operational for the announcement of the sequel. And...they are. As if they could sense the coming storm, they've gone straight onto the offensive:
We are aware that in direct contradication to all available evidence, certain individuals continue to link the original Manhunt title to the Warren Leblanc [the boy found guilty of murdering Stefan Pakeerah] case in 2004. The transcript of the court case makes it quite clear what really happened. At sentencing the Judge, defence, prosecution and Leicester police all emphasised that Manhunt played no part in the case.We respect those who have different opinions about the horror genre and video games as a whole, but we hope they will also consider the opinions of gamers. The stories in modern video games are as diverse as the stories in books, film and television.
Rockstar submits every game to the appropriate bodies for rating and classification and in the case of Manhunt 2 it is clearly a game aimed at an adult audience and we anticipate that it will receive an 18+ rating.
That's an 18+ in the UK, mind you. What that means for those of us in nations without 18+ ratings is not yet clear, but if you live in Germany or Australia, you might want to start considering importing...
