I've never played Manhunt 1, and find games like Grand Theft Auto hugely boring. But how does a game go about being banned? Is their a body who regulate them like movies? Or is it just pressure not to release it?

The BBFC have the power to refuse a certificate, which is what they seem to have done in the case of Manhunt 2.

Looking forward to Resident Evil though, I've not played it before but the reviews I've seen have all been good.

Resi 4 on GameCube was in a word, epic!
One of the best games I've ever played!
I certainly will look closely at the Wii version and may consider buying (although I still have the GC version, so not entirely sure!)

Yeah Manhunt 2 banned by BBFC which is odd because the UK is generally regarded as (one) of the most lenient on game releases....
No doubt released in a few months with revised content.
I'm looking forward to it! biggrin

What's the over/under on buying it (manhunt 2) from ebay from another country that happens to speak English (Australia, America to name but two) and it appearing in a jiffybag on my doorstep?

It hasn't been released in either America or Australia either I think.... frown
But according to BBFC it is illegal to import it, but not illegal to have it in your possession...
The "import" bit I assume is the same for importing one copy for personal use and say Game importing for multi-sales....
Shame though!

This is going off topic, but I didn't know it had been banned. Is it that much worse than the first one? I thought the first one was a good game. Obviously it was disguisting, but I thought it was capitvating to play.

How come it isn't on PS3/X360? Just appears on Wii, PS2, and PSP?

You can personally import it. You can import anything so long as it contains no illegal material and is solely for personal use. Manhunt 2 was rejected a classification meaning it cannot be sold anywhere in the UK, its content is not illegal though.

But since Manhunt 2 has been given a AO (Adults Only) rating in the US, which Nintendo and Sony do not allow on their consoles, it is not looking like it will be released at all without cuts.

That seems crazy!
What a hell of a development cost to waste!
I would have thought they'd just do what they had done with previous games that had been refused classification (i.e. Carmageddon) and jsut revise content!
Shame if they don't I was looking forward to it!

I heard someone asked the BBFC what would need to be revised to get a certification and their response was - basically all of it!

p.s. I think the decision not to give Carmageddon a rating was overturned on appeal

Well that sucks!
Maybe I will end up getting the revised Resi 4 then... (I already have the GC version and hope it is different enough!)

So back to the original question, is Resi 4 any good?

On GameCube it was awesome and I can't see it being any worse on Wii.
I'm sure with the Wii mote it will be even better, especially for the bargain price of £30!
Sorry for going off topic... wink

Yes, I've been enjoying it a lot. I didn't play any of the previous versions of it, so it's all new to me.

I picked this up yesterday and had a quick couple of hours with it. Having not played any resident evil games before and not really being into this game genre I was fairly open minded.

First thing I noticed is how poor the graphics are. Switching between Forza 2 on the 360 and RE4 on the Wii, I had to rub my eyes as everything was blurry! I know that the Wii is no where near as sharp as the 360 but I did expect a little more.

The long story/cut sequences were ok and introduced story and set the scene/mood fairly well, but again lacked visual impact and any wow factor.

Once the game got going though... The controls work very well and the sound helps create a great atmosphere. I had decided to play it in the dark at home with the sound cranked up and must admit that I jumped a few times as I was attacked from the side or behind.

I can see myself getting into it more and can understand why it is rated so highly - just a pity the graphics are so piss poor. Now, if this was on the 360 with the same intuitive controllers - that'd be one hell of a game!

Brought this game last night in the end and i am so glad i did. This is the best game i have played on the wii so far. Yes the graphics are never gonna be able to compete with the 360, but if i wanted good graphics i would buy a 360. They are better than other games i have played, but its jus the game play is so addictive. Was on it for 4 hours last night.

A note to Skibum, dont ever play Spiderman 3 on the wii. The graphics are vomit
