The '''BBFC''' ('''British Board of Film Classification''') is a film and video game classification system used in the [[United Kingdom]]. All [[Grand Theft Auto]] games have been scrutinized by the ''BBFC'' and each one has been given an '''18''' rating. No Grand Theft Auto games have ever been re-rated or considered for re-rating, unlike in [[Australia]] where the [[OFLC]] re-rated [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] after the [[Hot Coffee]] debacle. The first edition of the game was also re-rated in the [[USA]] where the [[ESRB]] decided that an AO rating was needed. Recently, the BBFC banned another Rockstar Games publication, Manhunt 2 in, the UK. <ref name="Manhunt">{{cite web | url= http://www.mcvuk.com/news/27545/BBFC-rejects-Manhunt-2 | title=BBFC rejects Manhunt 2 | work= MCV | accessdate= June 19 | accessyear= 2007}}</ref> It is currently the only game to have been banned by the BBFC, after Carmageddon had its ban overruled in 1997. | The '''BBFC''' ('''British Board of Film Classification''') is a film and video game classification system used in the [[United Kingdom]].
