THE West Australian opposition has appealed to the censorship committee of the Office of Film and Literature Classification to ban one of the most violent video games ever produced.

The game Man Hunt, which is rated MA 15+, features violent and graphic murder scenes and has been blamed for the murder in February of a 14-year-old British boy.
Opposition Leader Colin Barnett said today the game encouraged the player to kill in the most gruesome manner possible.

"Players are required to viciously murder other characters even after they pleaded for their lives," Mr Barnett said.
