They are probably just porting the same game across all three platforms. They couldn't get away with a port of a PS2 game on a 360 like they could a Wii.

Frankly this makes me happy. Notice how different people are making the PSP/PS2 versions then the wii versions? The wii version has to be more uniqe then "just another port"

I don't think it's a port. A completely different studio is working on the Wii version while the Psp and Ps2 versions are being worked on together. In fact, I think the studio that made the original is making the Wii version.

Bad publicity is still good. And always has been.

This is likely due to Reggie asking Rockstar to make M rated games.
Talk? Reggie probably played the real life version of Manhunt at the Rockstar office to convince them to port the game to Wii.

Naah. Manhunt has you SNEAKING up to enemies. Reggie doesn't need to sneak, he deals with these things Serious Sam style.

Except Okami
Think about it, there were two different studioes working on splinter cell double agent, one for the 360/pc version and the other for the ps2/xbox/gamecube/wii version. They both had the same story but everything (even how thge story was told) was almost compleatly different. Its possible that might be the case with this version. Just speculation.
