Manhunt 2 Reviews

Reviews from Amazon.co.uk

Fun without the polish!!!

Manhunt 2 was always going to be controversial and after playing the first one wondered how this would follow up. Thankfully the game is still fun in a sick sort of way and doesn't disappoint too much.

The idea of the game is to try and escape different areas without being caught by the other gangs. To avoid detection you have to move quietly and lurk in the many shadows and then take the bad guys out one by one.

The executions in the game have been heavily censored now, so all you get is a blury red smudge on the screen as you murder your victim in a violent manner. This doesn't really spoil the game and in a way makes it more stylish.

Graphically, the game doesn't look amazing but does have some nice atmospheric locations. Lights flicker in seedy nightclubs and hospitals and light shines through broken roofs in old lofts. All though the effects aren't amazing, it does fit in with the locations perfectly.
The frame-rate is fairly steady, but does dip now and then creating small stutters in the gameplay.

The sound is amazing and also very atmospheric. Police sirens can be heard in the distance, dogs barking and people screaming.. very unearving!

Controls aren't amazing, but do work. The nunchuck and wiimote can be swung in different directions to cause different attacks and seem ok most of the time, but can feel unresponsive occasionally.

So overal, the game is far from perfect, but VERY fun for adults looking for a more mature game for the Wii. The price is very reasonable now, so buy it before it gets banned again!!

A great sequel

You will have heard about the controversy that this game has provoked, and therefore you will know that it is extremely violent and pretty brutal. Let me tell you that even though the executions have been blurred with a high contrast filter, it does not obscure what is going on. You can see pretty much everything, unless you are a dark place...in which case you cant see anyway. Seriously, the game is VERY violent and VERY bloody. The gameplay is exactly like the original, and works extremely well and the new weapons and characters make the experience more fun. Weapons such as the sledgehammer and pliers are new to this game and the pen which is exclusive to the wii version. The motion controls are excellent. They are very intuitive and when you are required to (during an execution) thrust a crowbar into a neck and yank it up and then hack them on the ground with for good measure, it is disturbing but (gulp) feels freat. The movements are sensitive and work unless you do it wrong. Shooting is easy and reminds me of resident evil 4.
Graphics are ok, not brilliant but pretty good. Everything is through a grainy CCTV filter anyway. The sound is incredible, the blood splatterings and screaming, brilliant. And the hunters say some disturbing and funny things to try and fush you out. My only gripe is the AI of the hunters, as sometimes they will turn around loads or climb up a wall and jump down repeatedly. Not very often though. Overall, a great game for wii.
Have fun, especially with the saw!

Pre-order rave

Furthermore, I have just called Amazon and they are unsure whether this item will be dispatched or not, my advice is that as you'll not be charged any money until they acutally dispatch it, keep your order open.

Don't get too excited...

This game has been banned in the UK by the BBFC due to it's "unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying".

Might as well cancel your pre-orders!
