VAC Votes in Favour of Manhunt 2

Published at 12:31 PM PST

After the much expected controversy, bannings and wii-makes-it-all-worse-ness Manhunt 2 may finally be making its' way to UK stores following the Video Appeals Committee’s decision to vote against the BBFC.

Strauss Zelnick was naturally full of praise for the VAC:

We are committed to making great interactive entertainment, while also marketing our products responsibly and supporting an effective rating system. We are pleased that the decision of the VAC has recognized that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18+ rated entertainment.

Meanwhile the BBFC are left to ponder their response and no doubt attempt to re-ban the game. Good luck! For those hoping to have a black Christmas, don't hold your breath. We're expecting it sometime early next year.
