"Manhunt 2" Given Green Light in U.K.

The video game "Manhunt 2", which was originally banned in the United Kingdom and given the "Adults Only" rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) here in the states, is now finally available in England. The game attracted controversy from its brutal content. "Manhunt 2" was later toned-down content wise and given the "Mature" rating from the ESRB, but was still banned in England. Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive appealed the decision and won, but the British Board of Film and Literature Classification (BBFC), Britain's rating board that refused a rating for the game which led to its banning, appealed the decision to the English High Court. The Video Appeals Committee (VAC) lifted the ban on "Manhunt 2".
