It looks to be a rude awakening over in Britain for Rockstar, as the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has rejected the changes made to Rockstar's Manhunt 2 (Wii and PSP).

The BBFC mentioned that Rockstar seemingly ignored the suggestions made by the BBFC to address the game's content. It is currently unclear if these changes are the same as in the revised edition made for American audiences.

David Cooke, director of the BBFC, had this to say about the changes made to the game:

We recognise that the distributor has made changes to the game, but we do not consider that these go far enough to address our concerns about the original version.

The impact of the revisions on the bleakness and callousness of tone, or the essential nature of the gameplay, is clearly insufficient.There has been a reduction in the visual detail in some of the "execution kills", but in others they retain their original visceral and casually sadistic nature.

We did make suggestions for further changes to the game, but the distributor has chosen not to make them, and as a result we have rejected the game on both platforms. The decision on whether or not an appeal goes ahead lies with the distributor.
