Ireland bans Manhunt 2

Ireland bans Manhunt 2

None

The news keeps coming for Rockstar.  In addition to the U.K. ban and the Adults Only rating, Ireland has now officially banned Manhunt 2 from sale in the country.  This completes the trend, as the previous Manhunt was also banned in Ireland after it was cited as inspiration for the murder of an Irish teenage boy.

The Irish Film Censors Office had the following to say.  “IFCO recognizes that in certain films, DVDs and video games, strong graphic violence may be a justifiable element within the overall context of the work. However, in the case of Manhunt 2, IFCO believes that there is no such context, and the level of gross, unrelenting and gratuitous violence is unacceptable.”
