Product Description

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.

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.

- On censorship -
Apart from a hacked web version there is no uncensored Manhunt 2 to be bought.
The versions for PS2 and Wii are quite different in their way "blurring" the execution scenes. So, which one to buy? The Wii version, though looking best and being controlled quite cool with its different motions required for different execution movements, blackens
and blurs the screen to such a degree that you can see almost nothing. Additionally,
after the kills, the screen remains red/black-scratched for a few seconds, making it difficult to escape eventual attacks from other enemies.
The PS2 version, on the other hand, reveals much more of the execution scenes and furthermore, controls are overall more smooth.
- on the general game -
Manhunt 2 is not at all such a great game as its snuffy predecessor. The story is unoriginal, though suspenseful at times and the film-simulating view makes no sense anymore, since the scenes are not filmed by CCTV anymore. Nevertheless, it's very fun to play, since the game is long, diverse in level design and still has a great sound (funny voice acting of the enemies and good music).

After well over a year, Manhunt 2 has finally got a UK release. But the problem is that it had no chance to live up to expectations due to the controversy it caused. And that's just a start...

The first Manhunt game was a finely crafted combination of stealth 'em up and survival horror, with an air of menace and a grimy, dank and disturbing atmosphere. The idea, too, made a lot of sense - albeit in a twisted way. The second game is none of these.

The atmosphere is ruined by two major aspects.

Firstly, the game more often than not features shoot-outs with a number of enemies at the end of several levels, which is anachronistic with the stalk & slash premise of the first game and, by extension, the second. Indeed, the flashback sections are shoot 'em ups and nothing more.

Secondly, too much of the game seems to be going out of its way with shock tactics, rather than create an atmosphere. So there are levels taking place in S&M clubs that turn out to be snuff movie studios, or feature a shoot-out in a porn theatre. In short, the game seems to be catering to a lower common denominator than the first.

But the lower denominators will be upset at the fact that all executions have been censored for this release, as the screen blurs and pixelates so you can't make out what's going on (there's at least one environment execution where you literally can't see a thing). Considering the first game featured the executions in uncut detail, and there are editions of Manhunt 2 that're also uncensored, this feels like a cop-out. It also causes a double standard: the gun executions are censored, but if you shoot an enemy point-blank with a gun it isn't, although the final effect is more or less the exact same.

I played the original Manhunt a few years back and totally fell in love with it. Great concept, challenging but rewarding gameplay, awesome use of stealth, gritty, nasty and absorbing. I wasn't surprised to find out that the sequel had been delayed due to issues with the censors, but I hoped that the game would eventually get released so that I could explore another level of video nasty style gameplay.

After purchasing an Xbox 360, it seemed rather odd dusting off my PS2 to play a previous generation console game, but I wasn't disappointed. The vibe from the original game was here, and it felt like getting settled in with an old friend. Granted, the graphics are obviously nowhere near as amazing as the 360, and I've even seen better on the PS2, but it's the gameplay that counts and that's where this game excels.

If you've played the original Manhunt game then you'll be familiar with the controls and the aim of the game: stalk bad guys, creep up on them, perform a variety of grisly and inventive executions on them, rinse and repeat. But there's more than that to the game. You have to help the main character, Daniel Lamb, piece together his life (and memory) after escaping from a mental asylum. You'll do this with his friend, Leo, by exploring the past and present episodes of their adventure and the circumstances leading up to it.

The plot is awesome and lengthy and is quite original in comparison to the first game. The two games aren't linked in anyway, but that doesn't matter. You'll be able to spot the plot twist from a mile off, but it doesn't detract from the absorption into the game. Each level (or episode) draws you closer to the truth behind Daniel's past and the ultimate outcome of the experiments that he's been involved in.

I don't know how anyone could have found the original Manhunt superior to this game. The controls in the first game were clunky and awkward, this game vastly improved the play with a lock on system that looks like it was lifted and modified from the GTA series.

About the only thing I found annoying was the way they dealt with the mechanics of hiding while out of breath with a mini-game like when you're trying to dance in the clubs in GTA:SA. Although I can only really put down the fact that I dislike this mechanic to the fact I'm crap at it.

The guns in no way impair this games game-play I've successfully crept up on and executed the enemies many times with a gun, then ran like hell to avoid detection. Also you don't have stupidly small amounts of ammo like in the first game, where one stray shot could cost you your life in one section that you would then find yourself retrying umpteen times.

The range of new executions is superb. With close range gun kills and environmental kills all adding to the havoc you reek can on the poor unsuspecting enemy animated mannequins bodies.

There have been several story comparisons made, however, the most obviously overlooked is the film "Fight Club." A psychotic inner you? Seems familiar doesn't it? Ok so it uses the same device in a different story but I just get a sense of deja vu from all the cut scenes.

I'd recommend only the uncut version as basically the BBFC version robs the player of their reward for playing the game well. This review is based on the game as it should have been.

Rockstar has still done pretty well out of my pockets with the purchase of the entire GTA back catalogue, Bully, Manhunt and more recently GTA IV and "The Lost and the Damned." So do yourself a flavour, if you haven't already got a modded PS2 to play the game as it should have been, get one!
