Australia may be the next country to ban the sale Manhunt 2. The original Manhunt game was released in the country back in 2003 with an MA15+ classification, but after the UK's decision to ban the sequel, it seems that insiders at the Federal Government's Attorney Generals Department are starting to think about Manhunt 2's future in the land down under. According to the report at Smarthouse:

We don't want to preempt the decision of the Office of Film and Literature Classification Review Board but it is looking very doubtful" [a source] said.

The original Manhunt was released for Playstation 2 in Australia in 2003, receiving a MA15+ classification for "Medium-level animated violence".

Sigh. That's all I really have to say on this issue. Kim Phu
