 DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) - Ireland imposed its first ban Wednesday on a video game, citing what it called "gross, unrelenting and gratuitous violence" in the latest offering from Rockstar Games.
Irish film censor John Kelleher said "Manhunt 2," which has already been banned in neighboring Britain, features "sustained and cumulative casual sadism." He said some games could justify their depictions of bloodshed on storytelling grounds.
"However, in the case of 'Manhunt 2,' IFCO (the Irish Film Censor's Office) believes that there is no such context, and the level of gross, unrelenting and gratuitous violence is unacceptable," Kelleher said in a statement.
