In a statement issued today by Take Two Interactive chairman Strauss Zelnick the publisher has expressed its disappointment in the decision by the BBFC to appeal the decision of the Video Appeals Committee to grant Manhunt 2 an 18-plus certificate.
“We are disappointed that the BBFC has decided to appeal its own Video Appeals Committee’s judgment in favour of an 18-plus certificate for Manhunt 2,” said Zelnick. “We believe the VAC decision was correct and do not understand the BBFC’s decision to expend further public resources to censor a game that contains content well within the bounds established by the BBFC’s 18-plus ratings certification.”
Earlier this week the BBFC said it is contesting the decision made by the VAC “because in the Board’s view, it is based on an approach to harm which is an incorrect interpretation of the Video Recordings Act.”
