The developers of controversial videogame Bully have defended the title in the wake of a threatened injunction in Florida, in the US.

Lawyer Jack Thompson is attempting to stop the game going on sale, arguing it would cause a public nuisance.

The judge in the case has agreed to take a look at the title and play it before reaching a decision.

A spokesman for developers Rockstar said the game had a teen-only rating in the US and a 15 rating in the UK.

Mr Thompson filed his legal action last month, claiming that the game would violate Florida's public-nuisance laws.

They are typically used to prosecute environmental pollution. The legal action is against the US publisher Take 2, as well as retail giants Wal-Mart and GameStop.

Oh great not another one of these. I just knew Jack Thompson was going to say something. I thought it was bad enough when they did something about GTA San Andreas.
