________________________________________________________________________________

 

"An experiment at a secret research facility has gone catastrophically wrong. Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper are the only surviving subjects. The Pickman Project will stop at nothing to hunt them down and stop the truth from getting out.

Demented screams echo around the dank asylum that has caged you for the last six years. You open your eyes. A white-coated body slumps to the floor through your shaking hands. A bloody syringe slips from your arm. Waves of confusion and paranoia crash over you. You have no idea who you are or how you got here.

 

The door to your cell is open. One choice. One chance. They took your life. Time to take it back."

Manhunt 2 Facts

 

Main Character

The main character is Daniel Lamb

Lamb can climb and crawl, two things you couldn't do in the first Manhunt game.

 

Kills

Like the first Manhunt game, kills are executed in three deadly shades - Hasty, Violent and Gruesome.

Environmental kills have been introduced (push an enemy face first into a live fuse box, for example).

 

Weapons

 

You get a weapons inventory, which pauses the game when you enter.

Bag, glass shard, 'heavy handgun', nightstick and double barrel shotgun return.

Biro, sledge hammer, and a spiked bat are introduced.

Guns can be used as stealth kills.

Weapons come in four color-coded classes:

Yellow Throwable weapon

Green One-use wepon

Blue Weapon you store on your belt

Red Weopon you store on your back

 

Stealth

 

When hiding in shadows, if an enemy comes close the player will sometimes have to copy a button combination in order to regulate Lamb's breathing and ensure that he remains undetected.

You will have to make your own shadows sometimes, for example, breaking a light source.

Enemies looking into the shadows now have a chance of spotting you, unlike in the first Manhunt game.

Hunters will use flashlights, spotlights, and other ways to find you.

Games Radar give Manhunt 2 a 9/10 and says its one of the best games on Wii.

 

http://www.gamesradar.com/us/wii/game/revi...020611162342033

 

"Manhunt 2 is one of the best games on Wii. The astonishing level of brutality is an integral part of the experience, and probably the aspect that delighted fans and appalled detractors alike will focus on, but there’s a lot more to it than just digital blood".

M-rated Manhunt 2 coming on Halloween

 

From Joystiq

 

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/24/m-rated-...g-on-halloween/

 

____________________________________________

 

After temporarily suspending release of the AO-rated game back in June, Rockstar Games today announced a modified, M-rated version of Manhunt 2 will be release for the PS2, PSP and Wii on Oct. 31, 2007. "Manhunt 2 is important to us, and we're glad it can finally be appreciated as a gaming experience," Rockstar founder and president Sam Houser, said in a press release. "Manhunt 2 is a powerful piece of interactive story telling that is a unique video game experience. We think horror fans will love it."

 

The original Adults Only rating was a kiss of death for the game, leading to self-imposed bans from console makers and rental houses. It's still unclear exactly what modifications were necessary to achieve the lower rating and what effect the modifications will have on on Manhunt 2 bans in England, Ireland and other countries.

 

Whatever effect the controversy had on the game's content, you can bet that all the drama will have a positive effect on the game's sales. Remember, 2 Live Crew's As Nasty As They Wanna Be sold over two million copies despite being patently awful, all thanks to the magic of controversy.

Rejoice, oh fans of the kiddy console. Time to grow up !!

no i think they would have dumbed down the gory/ghastly killings. The game was rated AO on all the consoles, not only wii. Last i heard, you could jab a pen in a guard's eye with blood splattering all over the camera :thumbsup: - now who wouldnt give it a AO rating ? But thats what manhunt games are all about - sick, sadist and gory !

^^ the problem is that once a game gets a AO rating, then no consolemaker will allow that to come on their console. Also, many retail outlets like wal-mart have a policy not to sell AO games. So, in case, R* continues to sell its AO games, then, it has to release it only on PC and that too the retail reach will be very minimal....that should explain why R* backed out !

Manhunt 2 heading to Holland

from Joystiq

 

________________________________

 

 

Not everyone is getting in the way of Manhunt 2. The Dutch Ministry is allowing Rockstar's controversial sequel to be released in Holland. According to a report from Eurogamer, the Ministry said that getting involved would "break the regional law which considers adults capable of making their own decisions."

 

The game will be prohibited for those under the age of 16. Additionally, Justice Minister Hirsch Ballin is calling for a unified EU ratings system and said that they are looking into new laws for safeguarding children.

 

As for the rest of Europe, it seems as though the "Banhunt" will stick.

The saga of Manhunt 2 ban has came to an odd conclusion: Rockstar will release a tuned down version of Manhunt 2 next Halloween but P2P users have already put their hands on an uncut version of Manhunt 2, complete with all its Adults Only content.

 

The game was leaked by a cracking group named DAGGER which claims to have got it from a Netherland's source. Some sources claim that the 2.2GB ISO image is for a beta version of the pre-edited Manhunt 2, but more reliable source confirmed that the leaked game is a final version.

 

Netherland doesn't have any legal mechanism for banning, and it has been confirmed by their parliament that Manhunt 2 can be released there in its uncut form. On the other side, Sony prohibits Adult Only games from getting the necessary digital signatures to run on Playstation.

IGN Previews the dumbed down Manhunt 2

 

http://psp.ign.com/articles/819/819477p1.html

 

________________________________________________

 

What has changed?

 

Most of the content is still there. "Danny can still saw into the heads of enemies, or bludgeon them with a blunt object, or stab them, or use a syringe on them, or even use the environments to take them out," Matt Casamassima writes. "In one sequence, Danny uses a sewer cap to decapitate a hunter, at which point the enemy's body fell into the sewer hole." I think it's safe to say the controversy over this title isn't over.

 

The main change is the removal of the major death strikes, the ultra-gory killing moves that effectively work like Fatalities from Mortal Kombat, just far more disturbing. They're still in the game, but you can't tell what's going on. The new animations now have "an extreme blur effect," and the graphics are too dark to tell what's going on. Casamassima describes the new animations as being a "garbled, motiony mess that's far less satisfying."

 

___________________________________________________________

 

Frankly, I didnt enjoy the first Manhunt much and I dont think I'll be missing out on anything special by avoiding the sequel
