Does this game suck or what?

I think everyone here is too scared to play it. Who's gonna take the leap first?

I played through the first two levels (about 1 hour into the game). So far, I'm diggin' it. It seems to living up to it's hype and I actually like the way they have altered the kill sequences to appease the ESRB. The new effects seem to work in the game's by favor giving it a sense of "style". You still see the "kills", but through a bunch of different angles and tricks which don't give you a clear look at what's going on. If you didn't know the game was edited, you would never be able to tell.

My only complaint is that there doesn't appear to be any way to control the camera (it moves as you move). Ideally, a game like this should allow you to control the camera in a similar way as EA did for The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. It hasn't been a problem yet - but I just know that sooner or later the lack of camera control will become an issue.

I didn't play as much as Rhoq, but man, the atmosphere in this game is bananas. I really like the screen noise (which can be turned off in the options menu, though I wouldn't recommend it), and the sound design is really nice. The motion control seemed to work really well too. In the first 5 minutes of the game, someone tries to piss on you and another guy throws feces at you... (WTH!?).

So far, I don't see why the game is getting such piss-poor reviews. It's probably due to it being neutered. I'll play some more soon. But with Z-Dub, BWii, and replaying Fire Emblem: PoR, I probably won't get to it until Winter Break.

OHHH My, What The holy hell!!!!!!!

I think Manhunt 2 sets a new standard for the Wii and Dolby ProLogic II. It proves that PLII is more than capable of delivering a quality surround experience without the need for true 5.1 output.

got this game. played the first three or so chapters. was kinda dissappointed with the graphics, they still seem very PS2ish. however the overall gameplay was fun. the bad guys take one or two too many sledgehammers to the face, i think, but that is a part of video games in general i suppose.

OBVIOUSLY after just a few short hours of playing this game i am fully trained at the ways and means of being a psycho killer.... /sarcasm

oh and the game says "EDTV/HDTV Compatibile" on the back... anyone know what that means? (i mean, other than the obvious...)

It means that it supports 480p

jakeOSX, how are the stealth elements? Can you fight your way out if you get detected?

Click here for the video report that CBS did. I agree that the news segment is retarded and the over kill of waggling is hilarious, but at least CBS did something right and acknowledge that the Wii has parental controls that can lock out specific rated games and keep it secure via a PIN.

it depends, on one of the levels i could, because i only got two at the most at one time.

the level i am on now, no. i get seen i get four of them beating me to a pulp. perhaps if i had more time practicing to fight, but i suspect that this is on purpose...

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #412 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:56:27 AM »

CBS with Dr.Phill chimming in on Manhunt2 I guess CBS cant get enough of manhunt 2!

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #413 on:** November 01, 2007, 11:25:35 AM »

Atleast Dr. Phil was sensable about it. "The truth is, is somebody plays this game, and then they go and do this in their life, then there was something seriously wrong with them before they got the game."

NeoThunder · « **Reply #414 on:** November 01, 2007, 01:15:06 PM »

I don't believe this crap!!!!!!

I rented the game, and it would be enjoyable, but the executions are all blured and crap. This would be so much better if i could actually see something. The fact that this could have looked better but was forced to be stripped makes me pissed

and shame on that dumbtard in the video for not using his Wiimote Wrist strap!!!!! Clearly with such a violent game you shouldn't take any precautions

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #415 on:** November 01, 2007, 02:17:28 PM »

From what I have seen, the game sets a new standard for crappy, lazy visuals.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #416 on:** November 01, 2007, 05:14:03 PM »

Prepare for a recall soon:

People have already hacked the PSP version and got the uncensored version

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #417 on:** November 01, 2007, 05:22:02 PM »

Is there a Game Genie for the Wii yet? I would love to un-censor my copy.
This news alone will probably boost sales of the PSP version, specially if you own a PSP Slim and put the game up on the Big Screen.

Besides, I believe I called that this was gonna happen somewhere on this site. The Manhunt debacle was begging for some Hot Coffee.

Stogi · « **Reply #418 on:** November 01, 2007, 05:28:59 PM »

Ya, you definitely called it out.

To bad there's no way to play the uncensored version on the Wii.

Kairon · « **Reply #419 on:** November 01, 2007, 05:32:04 PM »

Urgh. Just like I was late to the party with PH, so too will I probably only open this game up after all the hullabaloo has died down...

I hope they tone it down, but "forget" to take out the extra violence code, then "anonymously leak a way to unlock it about 6 months after release. Sort of like Hot Coffee, only intentional.

I found my quote.

Adrock · « **Reply #421 on:** November 03, 2007, 09:04:45 PM »

The most offensive thing about this game is how much it insults me as a gamer. I believe publishers should be allowed to produce games of graphic violence and whatnot. Why not? I oppose this kind of censorship, especially when irresponsible parents try to pass the blame onto something else.... instead of raising their children the right way. Don't want your children to play games like Manhunt 2? DON'T BUY IT FOR THEM.... and on top of that, all 3 console makers made it even easier for them by adding parental controls. You can't cry foul when you're too damn lazy and irresponsible to be a good parent.

Ahem.....

What I do have a problem with is when publishers release half-assed games. That insults me as a potential consumer. I don't want to spend my money on a sh*tty game. Granted, I rented Manhunt 2 for free, but that's besides the point. It's not a very good game.

The controls are just terrible and at points, maybe to show how insane Danny Lamb was, he'd just stand there and I wouldn't be able to move him for a few seconds while the screen slightly shook. Think along the lines of the insanity effects in Eternal Darkness, except annoying and not creative. I was thinking maybe my Wii was just messing up, but then I tested Wii Sports and Metroid prime 3 and they ran fine. Maybe that's because Nintendo's studios are good at developing games.......

Can't skip cutscenes?! Nooooooooooo.............

And the camera sucks hard too? What? Nooooooooooo........

I should have rented The Simpsons Game.

Now that would have been a good move!

NeoThunder · « **Reply #423 on:** November 04, 2007, 01:54:39 AM »

well....don't forget, that when you tilt the nunchuck sideways you lean to view around corners and you can't move when you do it......if your not use to a game using a lot of tilt in the nunchuck it might catch you off gaurd

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #424 on:** November 05, 2007, 02:12:51 PM »

I was just about to post about that - I thought it was a glitch in my game, guess I should have read up about it. Thing is, it happens at times when you're not in a corner too, or at least at some things that aren't that corner...ish, for lack of a better term.
