The BBFC has called for a Judical review on the successful appeal made by the games developer Rockstar games. Not only that, the board want the suspension of the committee’s decision to grant a classification for the game.

Twice now, the BBFC has banned the game due to its extreme violence, later Rockstar won the appeal to have the game classified for sell in the UK.

In a recent statement the BBFC stated that if their original decision isn’t accepted then significant consequences would be made to future classifications.

“The BBFC is contesting the VAC judgement because in the Board’s view, it is based on an approach to harm which is an incorrect interpretation of the Video Recordings Act. The VAC judgement, if allowed to stand, would have fundamental implications with regard to all the Board’s decisions, including those turning upon questions of unacceptable levels of violence.”

Manhunt 2 will not be classified until after the review.
