Manhunt 2 cleaned up for 'M' rating
US rating board gives game go-ahead for retail sale

Controversial video game
Manhunt
2 has been given the green light for retail sale in the US.
A modified version of the game was given an updated 'Mature' rating by the
Entertainment
Software Rating Board (ESRB) from an 'Adults Only' rating in June.
Plans to release the game had been suspended after the ESRB issued the adult
rating, which would have barred the game from sale on the Wii, Xbox and
PlayStation consoles, as well as at most major US retailers.
The game also received a
ban in the
UK, becoming the first title to earn such a dubious distinction in 10 years.
That ban is currently under appeal.
Rockstar
Games, the studio which produced Manhunt 2 and the Grand Theft
Auto series, now plans to release the game in the US on Halloween.
"Manhunt 2 is important to us, and we are glad that it can finally
be appreciated as a gaming experience," said Rockstar Games founder and
executive producer Sam Houser. "We think horror fans will love it."
