Hi all,

Just a heads up that Manhunt is banned, so if your were looking at getting one - better grab one before they are pulled from the shelves.

Cheers.

In Australia? Because I know it's banned in New Zealand, and available here in Australia.

Heck! I can even go rent it from my local video store!

stupid games deserve stupid bans.

id be more happier if they just admited the real reason they banned the game, this whole "its too violent thing is just a cover for the real reason"

"its a really s*** game so yeah, we have decided you are stupider for playing so we are going to ban it"

but seriously it is wrong to censor us in this way, and yeah it doesnt make sense why to realise then ban 3months later i guess they needed teh complaints.

but ohh its a stupid game, if you took the violence out there would be no game, thats how stupid it is. so its only selling factor is violence isnt that just stupid.

Thats ridiculous, its been out here already for ages. Anyone who wanted to play it would have already played it by now. Why wasn't it banned right from the start? Did they just neglect to review it properly or what?

They needed time for people to complain so that they could work out which conservative group to cave in to.

Still, I'm glad that they've done this, might save some people from paying money for a repetitive one trick game.

It appears that normal people and organisations have to query a rating decision within 30 days of it being announced, and request a review. After that it's no go.

If you are an attorney general you can query a rating and request a review whenever you want. Manhunt was given the MA rating by the oflc roughly a year ago.

I think the ppl that made the game are retarded.

Its like they went "Hey lets bait the censors and make a real video nasty"
