Jack Thompson is going to have a field day with this game.

Jack Thompson is also face possible disbarment for five counts of professional misconduct.

Now, let's all point and laugh in Jack Thompson's direction.

Manhunt was by far, the most violent & brutal game I have ever seen. Gears of War is a disney cartoon in comparison. The only way I could get over the violence is that the characters that you are killing are trying to kill you. They are not just innocent bystanders like in GTA. I just hope they don't edit the Wii version at all. **cough** green blood in Doom GBA **cough**

I'd put the chance of edits at near zero unless the game is a huge departure from the original. This game is the definition of a "Hard M"... no amount of green blood is going to get this thing a T rating.

The first game was shyte. I expect the same from this one. I really don't expect much else from Rockstar, honestly.

jasonditz · « **Reply #29 on:** February 06, 2007, 09:27:27 AM »

While the content of this game seems very "un-Nintendo", I'd caution against rejecting it unless you've actually played the first. The level of immersion was impressive for a mere PS2 game, with nice little "attention-to-detail" things like the ability to use the microphone to alert people to your presence.

While I'm a little concerned that it may be possible for a murder simulator to be "too immersive" and go from entertaining to creepy I can't wait to try it.

Reading everybody's responses to this post is very interesting. Seeing as most members of this forum are hardcore Nintendo fans, i'm not surprised to see so many "man hunt sucks" responses. Never until now did I see how much Nintendo has built a completely different fanbase from Sony and Microsoft. Ever since FF7 was released on PS1 i have been a sony fan. Sure I had a N64 and a Cube (and loved both) but my PS2 and PS1 got 10x the use that my Nintendo consoles got (excluding SNES and NES). I just thought it was very interesting to see because most readers on sites which are not nintendo based are very excited for manhunt on the Wii. Sorry if I sound negative at all because I don't mean to be. I don't mean any offense to anybody who is not a fan or dislikes violent games.

Hey, it helps destroy any "kiddie" image Nintendo might have had left so I'm not against it by any stretch.

I'll give this a rent through Gamefly, but I likely won't buy it.

Pittbboi · « **Reply #32 on:** February 06, 2007, 10:38:17 AM »

Ohhhhh, this is exciting. The fact that this game is coming to the Wii only of the next gen consoles is a great indication that Wii really is going to shed the Nintendo is for kids image.

Or they could just be making it for the Wii because it's a lot easier to put a cheap port on it than the other next gen consoles. Eh, no, I think I'll remain optimistic about this.

Just two things:

1) Nothing about this game better be Nintendo Censored. If Nintendo really wants to shed that kiddie image, the game better be as it is on the PS2 in terms of gore and story.

2) I know the PS2 is still really hot right now, and as such this game is going to most likely be developed from the ground up with the PS2's hardware in mind and then "ported" in a sense to the Wii. However, with that said, I really hope the take advantage of the Wii's power and controller and make the Wii version at least look noticeably better and run smoother and more innovative. Because, as nice as it is that the Wii is getting a game so full of gore as Manhunt, it's still not going to be a good look if both games get released at the same time and the Wii version looks no better than the PS2 version with the wiimote tacked on.

I'm not interested in Manhunt because the violent snuff film theme of the first game really turns me off. But I think it is a huge deal for Rockstar to put a game like that on the Wii. I don't really care one way or another if exploitative violent games appear on the Wii or not but I do want games the involve some violence and some dark themes to be on the console. If having a game like Manhunt 2 on the Wii also means having some great first person shooters or Grand Theft Auto or something like that alongside games like Mario then I'm all for it.

I don't want nothing but gorefests but I don't like having nothing but fluffy-fluffy-rainbow-land either.

"Nothing about this game better be Nintendo Censored. If Nintendo really wants to shed that kiddie image, the game better be as it is on the PS2 in terms of gore and story."

Nintendo doesn't censor games anymore. BMX XXX had nudity in the Cube version but NOT the PS2 one and Resident Evil 4 has a death animation where the main character gets his head chopped off by a chainsaw. Nintendo is willing to have "mature" content on their consoles, they just didn't used to have the third party support.

Ehh, I didn't like Manhunt for the same reason I don't like GTA or Dead Rising. It just got old after a while. It's not my cup of tea. I don't mind violent games, but they have to keep me interested. I have a Wii and I bought a 360 for my brother last year. There are better games I can get on either of those consoles than Manhunt 2.

Oh, by the way, that avatar is hilarious. I love how the button doesn't allow the user to "touch." Hahahaha... genius....

jasonditz · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2007, 11:12:10 AM »

Oh yeah, I just thought of something: the original Manhunt supported the headset attachment (and was a way better game with it, IMO)... does this mean wii'll be getting some sort of (preferably Bluetooth) headset?

MaryJane · « **Reply #37 on:** February 06, 2007, 12:52:02 PM »

I liked the first manhunt. I liked listen to "Killers Are Quiet" by Slipknot while playing it.

It's not in the terms of epic, but it's a distraction every now and again when you don't feel like sitting down and concentrating on a game. Every time I picked up Zelda I knew I was going to play for at least an hour, same thing with Madden, so I would play WiiSports just to play for 5 - 20 minutes and move on.

That's what manhunt is, I'm not a fan of GTA but it's o.k in that respect also, but manhunt 1 was far superior, because it actually played like a game, with a point, rather than missions as an afterthought.

Pittbboi saying something positive about Nintendo? I am shocked, not sure I can recover!

If you look back even further, IanSane actually DEFENDED Nintendo from Pittboi on the topic of censorship!

Well Ian is happy that the image on the console will have a more mature one. And if things go like they are now the Wii is a well balanced system for any demographic where people won't bitch that there is a lack of something since they are satisfied by the games available on the console. And that my friends is a good thing. And it looks like the kiddy image on the Wii right now is small to nil where the system would be called kiddy is by the immature/misinformed or blind Sony and/or Microsoft fanboys.

I believe the expression is, "Kids games like "Manhunt 2", right?"

Adrock · « **Reply #42 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:02:33 PM »

Did anyone watch the teaser trailer?

"This game is not yet rated."

hahahahahahaha.....

By the way, they don't show gameplay (as expected) so I guess we'll have to wait a little longer to see how this looks on Wii.

Kairon · « **Reply #43 on:** February 06, 2007, 02:17:46 PM »

Manhunt? Sounds like a kiddeh tag game. Wii for children confirmed.

Manhunt 2 trailer

I know, IGN sucks, but if you're patient enough to sit through all the buffering, it's up there... though in 17 seconds it'll probably be on youtube and you can squint through the whole thing.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #46 on:** February 06, 2007, 03:40:58 PM »

Awesome, thanks!

Nothing is shown, though.

I know that this is a teaser, and teasers shouldn't show much. But some gameplay footage, or at least give us a glimpse of what to expect would've been appreciated.

First of all

That is why I shall buy this game even though I don't have a real interest in playing it. I am going to support the greater cause. I want the Wii to be the next PS2 even if that means that every single PS2 game worth a mention that comes out over the next two years is co-developed for Wii at the same time then GREAT!! I'm all for it. Wii will be the safe haven for all gamers. All the PS2 fans that feel betrayed by Sony and their outrageous pricing of the PS3 can find a new home on the Wii and all those X360 fans that are too proud to ever buy a PS3 can find thier way over to the much hyped Wii60 camp and never have to look back.

And if Nintendo does plan to release a (bluetooth)headset w/ mic then I hope they bundle it in with this game and don't save it for Mario Party 8/9/10 (I have no idea what # they are up to). I hear from others that the game(MH1) was a much better experience with the headset on.

Why would Nintendo bundle with a 3rd party game?
