When purchasing Manhunt 2 realize that it was modified after being threatened with an Adults Only rating - meaning that the executions (one of the largest and most time consuming/exciting elements of the game) are censored with a strange blurring/coloring effect. This blurring effect gets really old, really fast especially when it completely masks everything that's happening and it is obviously an out of place tacked on addition; it's not enough to break the game, but it most definitely takes away from the experience (there's not much to be horrified or disturbed by except the executions - well that and perhaps the language and bondage themes). The graphics are great, and the rest of the game is executed nicely - mission areas are well developed, they load fast, there are interesting obstacles and 'puzzles' (very minor) to overcome as you move along. The AI is decent, though one wonders what kinds of shadows there are in the world of Manhunt 2, even while being thankful for their amazing powers of deception. The NPCs also say all sorts of funny things - they're not comedians but you will definitely get a kick out of the things they say.
You have several feedback tools including alertness levels, noise meter and radar (based off of line of sight and noise - it's not a freebie). Your view is a little restricted, but since the emphasis is on using your environment and stealth effectively (i.e. you'll have time to look around from shadows and such - usually - and plan your next move) it's not a big deal. The environments are interesting and well done, complete with plenty of action beyond the player's area, simply to create an immersive experience. The game saves at checkpoints automatically allowing you to progress quickly and without interruptions.
If you have the patients and interest in a horror survival game that focuses on killing in a real world setting as opposed to simply surviving or monsters and such then this is a great PSP game for you. The game recommends playing with earphones, and it truly is a better experience this way - the sound effects are pretty good throughout (and the expletives are there throughout as well).
This game is not (in my opinion) particularly scary, though it does have a wonderfully dark environment and emphasis, even if the story is somewhat lacking in intensity.
This game is over the top, it's fun and it's unfortunately hampered by the fact that Rockstar Games was threatened with an AO rating. Thankfully it's still fun to play - so good luck Danny.

I have not played the game yet, it was deliver before the arrival date. The game is in great conditions, and has the instruction booklet. There is some scratches on the game, but that is probably just normal wear and tear. Once I play it I will come back and add additional comments and give it five stars if I like the game. I will definitely buy more games from GameSwift.
