This isn’t the best of news, especially for the rest of Europe, but Holland has been officially granted to receive Rockstar’s Manhunt 2. Because of the current Netherland Law, the Dutch Ministry decided not to get involved in the matter, so now the game is legally able to retail in the territory.
In a letter to Parliament, Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin said:
The current law is based on the principle that every adult is considered capable of deciding for himself which games he wants to play, unless it contains illegal material.
Deciding on whether children should be allowed to play a game is currently ‘the joint responsibility of parents, the audiovisual industry and the government,’ he continued.
He also noted that the ministry is examining new laws and policies to protect the youth.
