The hell?

manhunt 2 still hasn't been released here o_O

I've heard of Manhunt 2, but why's it not released there in England?

The BBFC didn't rate it. Even after Rockstar made revisions, they didn't give it a rating. So it can't be released. First game in like 10 years that's happened to. I don't it'll be getting a release in the UK.

well it keeps getting pushed back currently
there saying halloween

Oh, so it's getting released? Didn't know that.

Not that I care anyway really. Manhunt was rubbish, and from all I've heard this one is worse and the violence is even more pointless. I gather that's why the BBFC didn't rate it, because for the amount of violence it was just so stupid and needless. And that must be some spectacularly pointless violence, because they let the first Manhunt through.

I don't know. I just read that people were complaining about the game not getting released and about censorship in general, and it was pointed out that games not getting released because of ratings is incredibly rare (that's of those games that are planned for a release).

Hmmm... I know that the older Contra games went through a lot of makeovers before the series made it to Europe under the name "Probotector".

a lot of games got censored in the past castlevania bloodlines being one of them

They might have censored. It's rare that a game doesn't get rated at all and not get a release.

really if your gonna censor manhunt
they just shouldn't release it its kinda pointless

Yes, the one called Castlevania: The New Generation. Apparently from what I remembered, both series when they first came to Europe were toned down because some countries look down on violence some.

yeah thats the one still a grat game

I played all versions of Castlevania: Bloodlines, and they're all good either way. Just gets difficult with the spinning blades towards the end of Stage 5, though.

the only tricky bit in that game for me was the mindfuck room
i think it was section 2 on stage 6

mind in those days i could get through a game without getting hit

last section of final boss was a bitch though
that weird ass bone attack screwed me over royally

Death was always a tough customer. And in the case of this game, so was Elizabeth Bartley.

oh i weren't talking about those guys
death could never land a hit on me and medusa/bartley was sucky to
i was talking about the death/dracula/weird monster thing

and it was only the lweird monster thing who i struggled against
i never got how to avoid his most of the screen attack

I think that's the second game that I've seen Dracula taking three forms. The first was Dracula's Curse, and the next time I saw it was on Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles.

>.< Manhunt 2 was a give and take kinda game. The violence was epic win...But it was turned into epic fail with the censoring done to it.


As for Castlevania, What was that one for the 64 with the whip dude and the little girl with orb powers? It had skeletons on motorcycles! XD It was fucking cool.

yeah that was cool
i don't think its considered canon though

You would be right. Iga retconned both N64 Castlevanias, Castlevania Legends (Gameboy), and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA).

circle of the moon o_O
why was that?

Just didn't quite fit with the series' timeline is said to be the reason.

oh right that seems weird and pointless
