3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, but only just..., October 30, 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Manhunt 2 (Video Game)

If you loved the first Manhunt, you'll probably like the sequel enough to make it worth buying. The over all freaky, gritty, and gross feel of the first game is there. The basic mechanics work much the same way as well.

There are a few cool new features. You have to react to enemies searching for you in the shadows now. You can also climb and crawl.

But like it or not, the edited version DOES hinder the game playing experience. Manhunt is a perversely violent and demented trip through a nightmare world. It's SUPPOSED to be. The flashes of static every time you slash, stab, or bludgeon in execution mode does effectively mute the money shot. Manhunt 2 doesn't even contain half the gore of its predecessor. Sickos (like me) who enjoy playing games like this simply BECAUSE of their graphic nature, will (and should) feel cheated.

There are other disappointments. The graphics and physics are not any better than the first Manhunt's. In fact, thanks to the edits, they're probably worse. And the camera spins like crazy whenever you try and run from multiple enemies.

Buy it if you loved the first one. Buy it just to show that there is a vibrant adult market for games like this. But hopefully, once the silly controversy blows over, an adults only version will be available for purchase online.

4.0 out of 5 stars Manhunt 2 will punch your balls off, October 30, 2007

If you liked the first one, you should enjoy this one.
The story is interesting, though I see where they're going with it. The graphics are definitely not state-of-the-art, nor do they need to be. Gives it a more gritty, sleazy feel. Nice touch on the health kits... very much in keeping with the character's mental state. The Wii controls are taking me a bit of getting used to, but I can tell once I get the hang they'll be a snap. So far as the controversial way Rockstar dealt with the executions... come on. If you are that hard up to see them go to youtube, there's a 10 minute "greatest hits" video highlighting all the unedited kills. At least we got the game. The sound design is outstanding and is making me rethink my career arc. A solid buy for only $40.00, and its only $30.00 for the PSP and PS2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not For The Faint Of Heart, December 1, 2008

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!
