Following the BBFC’s decision to refuse Manhunt 2 a certificate, Rockstar was given six weeks to lodge an appeal. The software developer and publisher left it to the wire, but has now lodged a plea with the Video Appeals Committee.

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. confirmed today that Rockstar Games has appealed the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) decision that prohibited the release of any version of Manhunt 2 in Britain,” reads a statement issued by Rockstar yesterday.

The Video Appeals Committee has the power to overturn the BBFC’s decision, which would see the game given the green light to go on sale in the UK. The VAC will now set a date for a hearing to decide the game’s future.
