Manhunt 2 Targeted by Thompson

February 28th, 2007 Posted in Action, PSP, PlayStation 2, Wii

It wasn’t too long ago that Rockstar announced the sequel to Manhunt. And it didn’t take too long for Jack Thompson to react to it either. It turns out he has been asked by “certain individuals in the UK” to help stop the distribution of the upcoming game.

Manhunt was the center of dispute in a UK case: the murder of Stefan Pakeerah by his friend Warren LeBlanc in 2004. The game was pulled from stores following complaints and calls from conservative media publications; however, it was later found that there was no link between the game and the murder, and, in fact, the victim himself was the owner of the game rather than the killer.

At the moment it is not known how Thompson plans on stopping the game. We expect him to make his moves quickly, as Manhunt 2 is set for release this Summer.
