The game's lack of any real innovation is certainly something the critics can use against the game, but if it wasn't like the first game was the most innovative game on the block.
MANHUNT 2 KILLS FULL
While none of this is especially scary, it does tell an interesting story full of twists, turns and a ton of ultra-violence.Įven though the game may have a stronger narrative than the original game, in practice this is pretty much the same old game we played four years ago. Together the two character set out to not only escape the hospital's personal goons, but also to uncover the secrets of something called "The Project." Throughout this lengthy adventure you will be given hints about the man you used to be, what happened to your family, who Leo is, where the two of you have gone and ultimately why you ended up in the Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane. In Manhunt 2 you play Daniel Lamb, a Dixmor patient who manages to escape his confinement thanks to his "friend," Leo. There's still a fun game to be had in Manhunt 2, but Rockstar's track record is better than this.
MANHUNT 2 KILLS SERIES
Fans of the original game will no doubt continue to love this continuation however some may wonder why the series hasn't evolved much and why the look and feel of the game is so dated. but that doesn't keep it from being a disappointing Wii game. Apparently when it came to the Wii Nintendo wanted to shake some of that stereotype, because they shocked everybody by giving ridiculously violent action game, Manhunt 2, the green light.īut don't get too excited, because Manhunt 2 may be violent, gruesome and made specifically for adults. As a first party developer Nintendo has focused most of their attention on games that appeal to all ages, and for the most part third party companies have followed suit. I'm not sure what to make of that.ĭespite a few notable exceptions, Nintendo consoles are generally regarded as a kid-friendly game system. This is the kind of thing I would expect from the PlayStation or Xbox, but I'm playing this on the Nintendo Wii. What does surprise me is where I'm playing this over-the-top, ultra-violent game full of brutal murders, sexual diversions and non-stop four letter words.

And it certainly doesn't surprise me that this sequel has become a lightning rod for controversy. It doesn't surprise me that the developers set out to make a game that is even more twisted and disturbing than the first game. It doesn't shock me that Rockstar Games decided to create a sequel to the gory 2003 stealth/horror game.
