 Manhunt 2 January 5, 2008
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I picked this game up a while back for the Wii, without renting it. Big mistake. This game lacks in just about every aspect possible.
First off, the controls are not that responsive and at times, the character would stop and look as if he were being cautious and the only way to break that was to shake my controller, causing me to swing my weapon. This caused me to give away my location. Being that stealth is a big part of this game, this was a major problem. Combat was pretty flawed. You'll find yourself swinging the controller and getting no response. The stealth kills are not anything to make a big deal about, which seemed to be one of the game's selling points. For the Wii, they were all edited out and they make no sense. Even if they had not been edited, it would not have made this game the least bit more enjoyable. Now don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of horror/gore, but I would not put up with this game's horrible gameplay for some petty gore.
Secondly, the graphics were horrible. I felt like i was looking at a badly made Playstation 2 game. It looks like they just went with the bare minimum on this game. I felt like I kept wandering off of the map to the places that were neglected by developers.
I can't fully comment on the story of the game, being that I never finished, but what I did encounter of the story was just not captivating. It did not suck me in at all. Escape from a mental institution, kill bad guys while trying to regain your memory, hide from more bad guys, and then, kill them! Hooray!
It feels like they were just trying to push the envelope with this game, not actually make a quality product. I'd be ashamed to have created such a game. They can't blame it on having to edit the game either because there are plenty of other elements that hold this game back. Stay away from this game unless you just like killing people. And that's when I would recommend therapy.
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.
 ehhhhh storyline, excellent controls December 12, 2007

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.
