Manhunt 2

The sequel to Rockstar's sinister action game about a man who wakes up in a living nightmare where he is being stalked for sport and must sneak through the shadows and kill by whatever means he can devise in order to fight his way out. The sequel picks up with a new lead character, new gangs, a new storyline with gruesome twists and turns, and much more. The urban horrors of Cancer City are gone. Manhunt 2 takes place in a dark, shadowy, asylum filled with dark realities and psychological turmoil.
Danny and Leo were subjects in a diabolical experiment that had gone wrong. They were the only two survivors. The game starts in a dingy asylum. You're Danny and your goal is to escape and let no one stand in your way - guards, inmates, nurses, doctors - are all enemies. Can you? Leo talk to Danny throughout the entire escape. There are questions about Danny's sanity but you don't have enough time to consider it as he rampages through the 'hospital' killing his way from one level to the next. He is, of course, relentlessly pursued by a group of viscous hunters who will also stop at nothing to finish Danny off. Actively pursued, the hunted Danny Lamb must tackle his way out of a nightmare where the stakes are as real as they are dangerous. While the core gameplay is still sneaking, shooting, and performing stealth attacks, there are a number of new options available for players in this exciting new version that's ripe and ready for the Wii. It's bound to be a major hit with Wii owners.
Like the original Manhunt, Manhunt 2 isn't for the faint-hearted ( ESRB rating is M for Mature). Death scenes are particularly gruesome, gory and bloody. Improved AI and advanced graphics make the game seem more realistic. Coupled with an eery soundtrack and sensational audio effects, Manhunt 2 is a sure-fire sequel for fans in search for frenzied action, explosive gameplay, and pulse-tingling adventure.

manhunt review (Jon Lowe, houston tx, 2008-12-31)

I found this game at hollywood video in the bargin bin and i think I paid about 15 dollars for the game.It reminded me of silent hill without the satanism.The game is interesting and it trys to be twisted with all the insane stuff going on and cursing, the game was too dark so I brighten the screen so I could see better.I had problems with the charater movement freezing and the aiming of the gun sight otherwise the game was amusing and fun.I recomend it for those who find this stuff funny.I wasnt scary.

Not For The Faint Of Heart (Kevin Tracy, Indiana, 2008-12-01)

There was a lot of controversy when this game came out, which meant I had to play it. I bought it for the Wii immediately and loved this game. Yes, it's a very deranged and bloody game with a horrifically demented story told like none other... but you'd have to be an idiot if you didn't know that before buying the game.

The Wii motion controls get you all the more involved in the game and you will at times find yourself so immersed in this game that it's frightening.

Definitely not for the faint of heart or children... or something you'd want your girlfriend's parents to see you playing.

My only gripe was that the murders were distorted due to government censoring. I'm not going to hold that against the game though, it wasn't their fault and they didn't let it affect the quality of game play.

I can't wait for Manhunt 3!

Great game (P. Myers, Alberta, 2008-05-26)

Not as easy to control as the PSP version but still awesome. The only game I wanted for the Wii. My kid/wife plays all the mario crap and I play Manhunt 2. My gaming lies with Xbox 360 which is a way better system.

Not for kids, teens or adults, just kind of sick and that's all (Tom Joad, California, 2008-02-05)

Maybe I'd rate this game "just for adults" if it had some interesting gameplay and wasn't just appealing to a sick mind. I guess we can hope that the existence of this game will keep a few frog rectums free of firecrackers by occupying the time of people with those sorts of hobbies. That is about the best I can say for it.

I will read game reviews a little more literally in the future, as I thought the negative reviews on this were just hyperbole. What's so mind-boggling is that some group of people thought this kind of stuff needs to be in the world, and put their energy and money into developing it.

My husband loves it (Michelle Bradley, Raleigh, NC USA, 2008-01-19)

I bought this as a gift. It came quick as promised for a timely gift. My husband loves it.
