Good news: Manhunt 2 has been re-certified and given an M rating and slated for release on October 31st.
The bad news: Rockstar had to make cuts to get it.

Manhunt 2 Receives “M” Rating, Coming Halloween 2007.
Manhunt 2 will be released for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, and the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo in North America on October 31, 2007. This announcement follows the submission of a modified version of Manhunt 2 to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, who has now rated the title “M” for Mature for ages 17 and older.
“Manhunt 2 is important to us, and we’re glad it can finally be appreciated as a gaming experience,” said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. “We love the horror genre. Manhunt 2 is a powerful piece of interactive story telling that is a unique video game experience. We think horror fans will love it.”

Well I'm glad it's getting released and it'll be the perfect time to pick it up given the holiday but I wonder what Rockstar had to cut given BBFC, the British ratings board, outright banned it mainly due to the tone and concept as well as the content and 3 months seems awfully fast to correct that.
Thoughts?
