  • Summary: 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 Dixmor 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. [Rockstar Games]… Expand

    Shocking for all the right reasons...Simply, it's never been so difficult to keep a Wii-mote still. [Sept 2007, p.79]

    Punchy, cheap and cheerful splatter gaming. [Christmas 2008, p.60]

    It's hardly the pinnacle of stealth games - the enemies are dumb, and there's not much to do aside from sneaking and killing - but if you're in the mood for something creepy and horrific that'll leave you feeling a little dirty, Manhunt 2's still-shocking murders and eerie, is-it-real-or-am-I-just-insane storyline won't disappoint.

    It all comes down to the basic fact that a work of art, created specifically for a mature audience, should not have been forced to compromise the way that this game has been. Gamers who have been waiting a long time for this game to come out, or even just gamers in general, should definitely stay far away from Manhunt 2. While it is definitely not the worst game I have ever played, it is definitely one of the biggest letdowns.

    For the amount of violence this game sure has a great plot. Try playing this game alone at night. Sleep tight ;-).

    It's a good game hindered by its bad propaganda. For those who enjoyed the first game, you'll enjoy this second installment as well. Pros: The Storyline exists. Unlike the first game where it started out with a little voice acting and then petered out to nothing more than script captions w/o voice. The execution sequences allow user input at scripted intervals that adjust the effect of the execution, very similar to how God of War does its special attack sequences. (Except with the Wii, it's gestures rather than button pushes) Cons: Due to all the bad hype, the execution scenes have a lot of noise added and images blurred in order to gain an 'M' rating. This really distracts from the association of gesture commands to the scene. Half the time you can't make out what's going on to warrant the user interaction. Overall: if you enjoyed the first, you'll definitely enjoy the second. The inclusion of a storyline helps outweigh blurred executions and the gesture inputs help add to the fun of the game. Comment: I'm disappointed in the overblown hype around the supposed graphic violence. In the end, this game is no more graphic than the common episode of CSI on prime-time TV. However, I'm not arguing that it should be less than an M rating and in no means given to a child. Had it remained in it's previous form, it still would've been no more graphic than your current horror movie and still only needing an M rating. If they re-release a 'Director's Cut' version of the game, I will purchase that as well. No matter what the platform.… Expand

    Mediocre at best. I didnt find anything about this game that was different and/or better than the first one other than wii controls. Godfather is such a better game in every way.… Expand
