The other problem I had, which is not too uncommon with Wii games, is that the camera angles are really off at times.

It really could have been a lot smoother and it will cause situations where you may draw unneeded attention. One of my biggest complaints with Manhunt 2 is that it controls stiffly. Whether you do it quietly or not is up to you, although it is clearly more beneficial to you and your health if you don’t cause a raucous. New to Manhunt 2 are leaping kills where you can fall from above and take out the person. Pistols, shotguns, machine guns and sniper rifles become available after a while of playing. Of course you can use a number of different weapons and objects, but you can also set enemies on fire. It is, afterall, the main selling point of the game. There are many ways to kill your enemies in Manhunt 2. Depending on which one you pull off, the longer the kill sequence will last. You can pull off one of three in Manhunt 2: a Hasty kill gets things over quickly, a Violent kill takes a little longer but as the title suggests, it is more violent, and lastly a Gruesome kill. You will learn about the kill system as well. It is more of a tutorial for how the controls work and the radar system. You do not spend much game time in the prison itself. Although there are no monsters in this prison, unless you count the prisoners. This reminds me a lot of The Suffering, where the lights quickly go out and the prisoners start to over-run the place. When a power outage releases the prisoners, they seek out revenge. This place is definitely not the Holiday Inn. As my grandma used to joke, prison is not the Holiday Inn. Your character witnesses brutal beatings from the prison guards and staff. We are left with a slightly above average stealth-action game, lots of publicity and media scrutiny, and thousands of disappointed gamers expecting better. It is neither the most engrossing story in a video game, nor the perfect mix of action and stealth. To that extent, Manhunt 2 is less noteworthy of a title. What matters to us is if it is indeed a good game. The added interaction with the Wii underscores the controversial content.Īs a reviewer, though, we do not judge games based on controversy.

Now that Manhunt 2 has been released on PS2, PSP and Wii, having had played it extensively, I can say this is one of the most violent games ever. Manhunt gave them even more ammunition in 2003. Politicians of all stripes love to point to games like Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto as evidence of an industry that fails to restrain itself. Violence in video games is a touchy subject.
