Amazon.co.uk Review
Considering the furore that greeted the release of the first game it’s a genuine surprise to see it get a sequel, especially one as uncompromising as this. However unpleasant the original was though there was no denying it was an excellent game and one of the most original and effective stealth-based titles of recent years. The story in the sequel is at least slightly less disturbing than before, as the snuff movie theme of the first game is ditched in favour of you escaping from a mysterious research facility.
The gameplay is more familiar, as your limited access to heavy weaponry and the large number of enemies out to get you mean that you have to spend much of the time creeping about in the shadows. It gets to the point where you have to shoot out lights to increase the gloom and have to regulate your breathing when an enemy is nearby – to ensure you aren’t spotted. The stealth aspects work just as well as Metal Gear or any of its progeny, the difference here being that hiding isn’t an occasional novelty or plot device but the only way to survive the game.
Of course what Manhunt is most famous for is the violence and that has not been toned down in any way as you use everything from a ball point pen to a plastic bag to perform some of the most gruesome attacks in gaming. There are also new environmental kills, similar to those in THQ’s The Punisher, where you can drown enemies in a toilet or strangle them with telephone cord. It’s not a game for the faint of heart, but for those that can stomach it there’s plenty of gameplay here amongst the gore.

Manufacturer's Description
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.

Fun:
I must says as a manhunt fan I am disappointed with the censorship of this game because it spoils it! I have played the uncensored & censored version. Of course the Uncensored version is better.
I have played manhunt 1 many times and I have not killed anyone or have been affected by the game mentally. I am a martial artist and know how to kill in many ways!
I feel all this controversy is a waste of time!

Rockstar are at the top of their game (no pun intended) with Manhunt 2. Great gameplay and more evolved than the original Manhunt.
Despite the so called 'censorship' that other Amazon members complained about, if I didn't know of this 'censorship' during the executions I would have passed it off as a stylistic choice by the game developers. You can't see blood but you can see what is happening so no big loss.
Overall a great game and well worth the time to play.
5/5

I remember the original Manhunt and that was far superior to the follow up. When it comes to games like this, if you don't like violence " DON'T BUY IT". When during the game you have to execute someone the execution scenes are Censored, what is the point of that BBFC.

Manhunt 2 is not as dark as its predecessor, but it's still worth a playthrough. I preferred the original to be honest but it's still an enjoyable 7-10hours
