Rockstar’s Manhunt 2 has secured a European release in its uncut format, albeit exclusively in Holland for the time being.
According to an Associated Press report, the Dutch Ministry was powerless to ban the controversial title as any intervention would have contravened the country’s laws.
In a letter to Parliament, Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin said:
‘The current law is based on the principle that every adult is considered capable of deciding for himself which games he wants to play, unless it contains illegal material.’
It is still possible to prosecute anyone who distributes the game to minors, but no such case has yet been tried in the country.
Ballin added that his ministry was currently debating whether new laws were needed ‘to better protect the youth’.
