GameSpot is reporting that in the wake of international bans and a possible Adults Only rating, Take-Two has temporarily suspended plans to distribute the game. That means it won't be making its July 10 release date, if at all.

"Take-Two Interactive Software has temporarily suspended plans to distribute Manhunt 2 for the Wii or PlayStation platforms while it reviews its options with regard to the recent decisions made by the British Board of Film Classification and Entertainment Software Rating Board," a representative told GameSpot. "We continue to stand behind this extraordinary game. We believe in freedom of creative expression, as well as responsible marketing, both of which are essential to our business of making great entertainment."
The issue is that the AO rating prevents Take-Two from distributing it for either a Sony or Nintendo console, due to their policy to not allow such games on their systems. The question now is whether Take-Two will fight to have the game reclassified, modify it or just kill it all together. Brian CrecenteTake-Two Shelves Manhunt 2 [GameSpot]
