 Honestly, you can't sell this kind of junk and get away with it. December 24, 2007

The Wii version has several bugs in navigation and in loading. The navigation bug happens sometimes when you start the game and the wii controller gets mis auto-calibrated. The loading bug is horrible, and the screen freezes while the next enemy scene is loaded, which takes away the surprise, interrupts the gameplay and will wear on you the 8th time it happens within the first 15 minutes of the game.
Also, the game is specifically about violent executions, and it blurs them all out, almost completely. With no real violent cut-scenes, play control that's worse than Castlevania I, and long periods of no-action "sneaking" (who doesn't want to sit in a shadow for 5 minutes waiting for a CPU to walk by?) I can't remember a worse game for the Wii. And there have been some awful ones.
 Good, but lacking any replay value December 18, 2007
This game features some intense violence and gore, but does not focus entirely on that. It is a stealthy action game that involves hiding from a group of enemies and slowly trying to find your way around them (usually means killing them). The story and acting is the best Ive seen in a game, so if you really enjoy a good story, Manhunt 2 in definitely worth it.
But if you like the original Manhunt, you may be a little dissappointed in Manhunt 2 mainly because there is no bonus levels and no rankings on the levels, meaning when you beat a level, theres really no point in playing it again because you cant even try to beat your last time or anything. I did like the new weapons and new execution types, but since the game got filtered, there is no point in trying to do the most gruesome execution, which was another replay value for me in the first one.
Overall, a good game and story, but since theres no replay value, its really only worth renting.

We all have played better games and much worse games.
Pros: Graphics, Gore, Sound, Controls
Cons: Story is ehhh which counts a lot for me.
Not really satisfied December 9, 2007
Well, I got this game thinking that it would be a great killing spree kind of game. With violence and the whole bit. It's sad to find that this game didn't show the violence action that I was looking for. The blurred out scenes made it hard to follow the cruel executions because you're trying to read the controller's instructions AND trying to focus in on what's going on. It's almost impossible if you're not used to the controls yet.
The storyline is about the only thing that is keeping my interest. I can see where the storyline is going but playing this game feels like watching an action/horror with the action part missing. It's pretty sad.
The graphics of this game is alright, you can see they really tried to integrate a somewhat realistic game with the wii's compatibilities.
All n all, it's a solid game but it's missing a few things fans would love.
Finally here, for better or worse December 2, 2007

Rockstar is no stranger to controversy, which Manhunt 2 garnered much of when it was labeled with an Adults Only rating not too long ago. Now, Manhunt 2 is finally here and carrying a Mature rating instead, but don't think that this game has been watered down a whole lot. If you played the original Manhunt, you'll feel right at home here as you play as escaped inmate Danny, who is on a mission to seek the truth. However, as the title of the game implies, you've got some trouble approaching on your tail in the form of hunters, who are looking to do some harm to you, which is saying it quite lightly. As with the first game, stealth is the name of the game, and it requires quite a bit of skill that proves pretty rewarding once you get the hang of it. The execution moves serve up ample amounts of blood and guts as well, even though a blurring effect has been added to the most violent scenes of the game. Manhunt 2 isn't without it's flaws though, including the fact that the game isn't really all that suspenseful compared to the first game. The atmosphere remains eerie, but it just feels like there's something missing here. The music and sound effects are well done, but the graphics engine looks incredibly dated. Gameplay wise, the stealth tricks work wonderfully, but the gunplay elements are rather disappointing in terms of style. The story is pretty engaging though, and it's good to have a gritty and adult-themed game on the Wii, no matter what controversy develops. All in all, the controversial Manhunt 2 is finally here, and it's definitely worth checking out, but whether or not it's worth adding to your library is entirely up to you.
