UK anti-censorship petition regarding Manhunt 2 in full swing

The BBFC refusing to rate Rockstar Games’ Manhunt 2 for either the Wii, PS2, or PSP has sparked the ire of many an adult gamer in Europe. An online petition which was started on the website of new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has emerged with hundreds of people joining in to fight the censorship of the game.

Only UK citizens are open to join in this  petition, though it may be assumed that more of these will be occurring in the next few weeks. So far there are 830 signatories in this online petition. Bradley Smith, the creator of this movement, gave a few words that are reminiscent of those spoken by Former ELPSA boss Roger Bennett.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Restrict the powers of the BBFC with regard to the banning of videogames.The BBFC have recently refused to rate the videogame Manhunt 2.

As such, adults in this country will never be allowed to play this game. Adults should be allowed to make their own decisions with regard to what videogames they want to play. We all understand that this game is extremely violent and unsuitable for children. As such an 18 rating should have been applied.

If you are from UK, take some time from your busy schedule to check it out. If you believe it is worth fighting for, click on our read link below and please sign up. Take note that the petition is only open until August 25, 2007.

People wholeheartedly agree that Manhunt 2 is not for children and should not be played by them. However, to prevent adults from playing the game may not have be the best way to handle the situation.
