You put that disc in - it loads up a little bit then you swap it for a imported game (and yes it works with backups and 'other' games) and it works.

you have to fiddle around with the tools and if your ps2 is newish you'll probably have to unscrew the case to remove a metal piece blocking tool 2 from going in (but you dont need to do any chipping)

Yes, the game was revised and sent back to the BBFC (Big Bunch of Fu**ing C**ts) and they have banned it AGAIN!

So if you want the game you'll need to DL it from a P2P site and get swap magic as mentioned above. Or go to Amsterdam and buy an uncut copy,

The ban on controversial video game Manhunt 2 in the UK has been lifted and the game will now go on sale.
The Video Appeals Committee upheld an earlier decision that the game could be sold, following a nine-month battle between makers Rockstar and UK censors.

The British Board of Film Classification had taken the fight to ban the game to the High Court, saying the game "went too far".

An edited version of the title will be released with an 18 certificate.

The game was first banned in June 2007 and an edited version of the game was later rejected by the BBFC.

David Cooke, director of the BBFC said: "As I have said previously, we never take rejection decisions lightly, and they always involve a complex balance of considerations.


Who should we believe when it comes to video games - developers or the BBFC?

"We twice rejected Manhunt 2, and then pursued a judicial review challenge, because we considered, after exceptionally thorough examination, that it posed a real potential harm risk.

"However, the Video Appeals Committee has again exercised its independent scrutiny. It is now clear, in the light of this decision, and our legal advice, that we have no alternative but to issue an 18 certificate to the game."

Developers Rockstar Games has always maintained that the content of Manhunt 2 is no different from other 18-rated entertainment products, such as the film series Saw.

In a statement, the company said: "We are pleased that the VAC has reaffirmed its decision recognizing that Manhunt 2 is well within the bounds established by other 18+ rated entertainment.

"Rockstar Games is committed to making great interactive entertainment, while also marketing our products responsibly and supporting an effective rating system."
