Manhunt 2????
i saw a video on youtube of all the kills possible in Manhunt 1. I then saw links to the Manhunt 2 trailer and was wondering what's been up with this?? I tried to dig up more info but nothing! And in the trailer it said it would also be on the Wii! Crazy!
Manhunt 2?...oh hells yeah! 
With the Wii, you'll be going through the motions of the kills yourself 
Gameplay
From the Manhunt 2 website:
"With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and story telling forward," said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive producer of Rockstar Games.
The UK's Official Playstation Magazine #84 (April 2007) revealed that:[1]
Bag, glass shard, 'heavy handgun', nightstick and double barrel shotgun return, and are joined by the syringe and a biro.
The Director, CCTV cameras and the protagonist James Earl Cash from the first Manhunt won't play a part.
Manhunt 2's main character, scientist Dr Daniel Lamb, is locked in a private asylum by The Project - shady backers of a top secret drugs-based weapons program that Lamb was working on.
After breaking out of the asylum, Daniel Lamb goes on the run with psychotic inmate Leo Kasper, who is happy to coach Lamb in the brutal art of violence.
Like the first Manhunt, kills are executed in three deadly shades - Hasty, Violent and Gruesome.
Environmental kills have been introduced (push an enemy face-first into a live fuse box, use telephone cords to strangle an enemy or you can drown an enemy in a toilet)
Loud ambient noises can be exploited by Lamb to drown out his own crashing about.
When hiding in shadows, if an enemy comes close the player will sometimes have to copy a button combo to regulate Lamb's breathing and ensure he remains undetected.
Lamb can climb and crawl, two things James Earl Cash could not do in the original.
Guns can be used for executions.
You can smash lights to create pockets of shadow.

it's almost impossible to process the fact that Nintendo is breaking out of their circa-young targetted audience with this game. I wold've thought they'd work their way up the ladder with cop shootings and beheading, but going straight to caving out someone's anus with a spoon?

well it comes as no surprise. Manhunt 2 has been banned across all platforms in the UK. Take a look.
Manhunt 2 banned in the UK
http://gamepolitics.com/2007/06/19/...be-adults-only/
Around the offices of Take Two Interactive, they�re undoubtedly calling this �Black Tuesday.�
In the wake of this morning�s word detailing Britain�s ban on Manhunt 2 comes more bad news for publisher Take Two and developer Rockstar.
Citing concerns over the Nintendo Wii�s popular motion control system, the Center for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) has demanded that Manhunt 2 be rated AO (adults only) by the ESRB. The game is scheduled for release in North America on July 9th. To date, Manhunt 2 has not been rated by the ESRB.
The watchdog group�s demand was made this morning via letter to ESRB president Patricia Vance. In a press release, CCFC also says that it will launch a letter-writing campaign �so that parents and advocates for children could share their concerns.�
AO ratings for commercial video games are virtually unheard of and are considered the kiss of death at retail, since many stores won�t carry AO-rated titles. The only commercial game to receive an AO in recent memory was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas following the 2005 discovery of the notorious Hot Coffee animations and the game�s subsequent recall.
From the CCFC press release:
In Manhunt 2, players can saw their enemies� skulls in half; mutilate them with an axe; castrate them with a pair of pliers; and kill them by bashing their heads into an electrical box, where it is blown apart by a power surge. On Wii, players will not merely punch buttons or wield a joy stick, but will actually act out this violence�
Said CCFC co-founder, Dr. Susan Linn of Harvard:
If ever there was a time for the ESRB�s strongest and most unambiguous rating, it is now. An Adults Only rating is the only way to limit children�s exposure to this unique combination of horrific violence and interactivity�
An �M� rating is more like a wink and a nod than an effective safeguard. The industry appears to be going through its paces, but as the FTC�s most recent data show, these games are still being marketed to children.
Also quoted in the CCFC press release is Dr. Michael Rich, Director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children�s Hospital Boston:
Video games are among the most powerful educational tools yet developed� players experience and learn the game�s skills, whether they be based in strategy, logic, or violence. The content of Manhunt 2 and the unique physical interaction with the Wii control combine to take this simulation a level closer to reality - we can expect that the effects of this experience will be even greater.
On June 6th GamePolitics broke the news that, prompted by Miami activist Jack Thompson, Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum was looking into Manhunt 2 on the Wii. It is unknown what role, if any, Thompson may have played in the CCFC�s action, but it�s clear that he knew it was coming.
The original Manhunt, controversial in its own right, was rated M (17 and older) at the time of its release in 2003. In addition to the Wii version, Manhunt 2 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 2 and PSP.
GP: it�s unclear what effect the U.K. ban may have on the ESRB�s rating decision, but it would only seem to strengthen the CCFC�s position.

| Take-Two shelves Manhunt 2 Plans to release game "temporarily suspended" while publisher continues exploring options. By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot Posted Jun 21, 2007 6:16 pm ET In the wake of international bans and an Adults Only rating in the US, Manhunt 2 won't make its July 10 release date, Take-Two Interactive has confirmed. The game had been expected to ship that day for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo Wii. "Take-Two Interactive Software has temporarily suspended plans to distribute Manhunt 2 for the Wii or PlayStation platforms while it reviews its options with regard to the recent decisions made by the British Board of Film Classification and Entertainment Software Rating Board," a representative told GameSpot. "We continue to stand behind this extraordinary game. We believe in freedom of creative expression, as well as responsible marketing, both of which are essential to our business of making great entertainment." While the ESRB's initial rating of an AO for Adults Only doesn't explicitly prohibit the game from being sold, most major US retailers refuse to carry AO games, and console manufacturers prohibit their third-party publishers from releasing AO titles on their systems. |
