A Fine Piece Of Art

The chairman of Take Two - the US publisher of Manhunt 2, a video nasty I reported banned by the British Board of Film Classification last Wednesday (CLICK) - has defended the game. Strauss Zelnick declared Manhunt 2 has his full support and is a "fine piece of art". Nobody is criticizing the artistry of the graphics, Strauss, old son. This example is a very dramatic and powerful 3D image. It's the psychological impact on the player that's the problem. With street crime out of control in the UK - schoolboys being shot, schoolgirls stabbing one another almost daily - we don't want anything that might encourage murder.
