I think I might opt to get the Wii version, should be fun to ''act out'' the executions with the Wiimote. Jack Thompson is going to have a fit.
The original is one of the scariest/funniest/awesomest games ever.

Yes, during the cutscene kills, it'd be good to be able to take over control. I can just imagine people screaming whilst stabbing wildly with the remote.

1000 copies I believe, although I'm not 100% sure of that.
Does anyone remember that news story where the loony-tune 14 year old kid who killed his mate with a hammer blow to the back of the head? The press were trying to make out it was because he was obsessed with Manhunt (which, in any event, he shouldn't have been playing). In reality, it was the victim, not the perpetrator, of the crime that was the manhunt player.

Here's some new info. This game sounds so horribly and brilliantly over-the-top. No doubt there will be some great stealth action underneath the sensationalism, but geez.
Later in the game, a member of The Project has both his plums and a pair of vertebrae removed with a pair of pliers
• The Director, gangs, CCTV cameras and death row dodger, James Earl Cash, from the first Manhunt won't play a part.
• Manhunt 2 's main character, scientist Dr Daniel Lamb, is locked in a private asylum by The Project - shady backers of a top secret drugs-based weapons program that Lamb was working on
• After breaking out of the asylum, Daniel Lamb goes on the run with psychotic inmate Leo Kasper, who is happy to coach Lamb on the brutal art of violence
• Like the first Manhunt, kills are executed in three deadly shades - Hasty, Violent and Gruesome
• Environmental kills have been introduced (push an enemy face first into a live fuse box, for example)
• Loud ambient noises can be exploited by Lamb to drown out his own crashing about
• When hiding in shadows, if an enemy comes close the player will sometimes have to copy a button combo in order to regulate Lamb's breathing and ensure that he remains undetected
• Lamb can climb and crawl - two moves that Manhunt's James Earl Cash couldn't do
• Guns can be used for stealth kills
• Bag, glass shard, 'heavy handgun', nightstick and double barrel shotgun return. One bag execution has Daniel standing behind an orderly punching him in the face while the orderly is on his knees. There is also what appears to be a smaller hammer in one image, although I can’t confirm that.
• Biro, sledge hammer and spiked bat join the party.
• There is a brother level named 'the Honey Pot', a woman named Judy is here – the brother is a ‘front’ for recruiting for ‘The Project’.
• Environmental kills are noted by white x on the h.u.d. The radar returns.
• There are telephone and toilet environmental executions

• There is now a weapons inventory which now pauses game. No idea if this means you can carry more than 1 item from each grouping.
• Free aim shooting – the magazine notes shooting as being easier due to free aim shooting, but this was also present in the original game. It is presumably enhanced.
• Rockstar North is doing the audio for the game, which means the return of Craig Conner and Allan Walker.
• Hinted at that the USB headset will return - Just my assumption, not confirmed!
• Level design and (most) game mechanics are very similar to the first game. No free roaming (GTA).
The magazine appears to have had the chance to play the first two levels from the game, the first acting as a tutorial. They say that Daniel had been working on a drugs-based weapons program (for ‘The Project’) six years prior to the events in the game and that he is a lot more complex than Cash was. The game picks up with Daniel in containment, and his first victim is a female doctor, which he kills by strangling her. An electrical storm soon hits and knocks out the power to the hospital, freeing the patients, as Daniel passes by the cells an inmate throws urine over him! And this is where the stealth mechanics of the game begin to come into play. Apparently if you aren’t quiet in your escape then a ‘larger’ inmate will throw faeces over you, sound lovely. Before long you meet Leo, the magazine goes onto explain that Daniel is so helpless in the beginning that he won’t fight back when attacked, it isn’t until his health drops so low and he has had enough of Leos taunting that he stands up for himself.

The magazine skips forward ‘several hours’, it doesn’t explain if this is through a cut-scene or if they are jumping ahead of levels in-between. But the level they describe is the brothel level ‘The Honey Pot’, the purpose of the level is to find Judy. Upon arriving at the brothel they are greeted by a pimp, who takes Daniels ID, this is when you are introduced to environmental kills. The level is described as having pimps, project members and people having sex everywhere. The sounds of people having sex allow for Daniel to manoeuvre his way around the brother easier due to them drowning out any sound he may be making.
The magazine states that the game is due for release ‘this spring’ rather than summer, this is likely a difference of opinion but isn’t spring usually around April or May?
Studio manager for Rockstar London, Mark Washbrook also participated in a interview in the magazine. When asked 'Any chance we'll see Piggsy again?' Mr. Washbrook responds with ' Ah, we'll see’..

• No title has satisfied the fiercely loyal Manhunt fan base since its release and there was no question that we could leave them hanging any longer!
• Although there's no denying that Manhunt contained violence and gore it would be missing the point if people thought these elements were what made Manhunt as great as it was.
I also want to add that the game looks great; it is easily the best looking Rockstar game graphically (with exception to Table Tennis – obviously). It retains the same art direction of the first title but looks a whole lot more polished than anything that has come before it. So far everything is looking outstanding in my opinion, Rockstar have attained everything that made the first game great all while expanding upon it and they appear to be making it for the people that want the game, rather than trying to change the opinions of others.

Yes, Manhunt 2 is a nice, dark game that's the Wii's line-up needs right now. I'm pretty sure it's due in August now, though. Oh well. Maybe Metroid Prime 3 will get here. Which will be never.

Banned in the UK.
Shocking.
Now I can't play this because some sap who got killed (IE wasn't the killer) was obsessed with the game and his parents (who illegally permitted him to have a copy) sought to blame their bad parenting on a video game. It's enough to make you stab someone in the eye with a biro, then put a plastic bag over their head.

Yep, the police never claimed it was anything to do with the game and the courts didn't find it in any way responsible either. The newspapers didn't publicise this quite so much as their inital story though (strange, eh)? It seems the whole time the parents (perhaps understandably in their grief) were looking for some explanation/something to blame and the media cynically latched onto it/hyped it up. If I worked for Rockstar I would have attempted to sue The Daily Mail et al for their libellous suggestion. Perhaps if they had, there'd have been less negative press around manhunt 2 (which has undeniably been at least a contributory factor in the banning- contrary to their claims the BBFC do let public pressure/the press influence them).

I should hope so, but sadly I think not. If it had been the other way round and their son had been the killer, I suspect they'd have kept quiet about allowing him to have a copy.
As an aside: Bollocks to the ban, I have just made arrangements and should be having my (legit, uncensored, UK version) copy of game a few days prior to the release in the rest of Europe. Up yours BBFC! :-P
I know it'll probably quite horrific, so guess what? I won't play it with kids about, nor will I write in and complain if I find the game offensive. "Law is for the guidance of wise men and the blind obediance of fools."

Presumably it's so close to the release that at least some of the copies have already been made up (lets be honest, it was never going to recieve any rating other than an 18 if it wasn't banned)? I don't know the specifics of where it's coming from, a friend is sorting it for me. I'll post pics once I have it.

IMO Manhunt 1 is not as good as say, GTA, but as usual with 90% of rockstar's output, it is a very good game. It's probably my favourite stealth based game (ultimately, I consider it a very violent MGS/Splinter Cell). Great atmosphere, sound design, music, tension etc. even the storyline and voice acting is pretty good for a videogame. The ultraviolence is only really a small part of the game (and it's actually entirely down to you how brutally you choose to kill someone), but as usual, that's what makes the headlines.
I suspect the use of the Wiimote in the Wii version stirred up more controversy than ever (IE actually acting out the stabbing/slashing motions with the wiimote) and probably impacted on the release of the others.
Let's also not forget that a large number of xboxes and ps2s are chipped and we'll soon see pirate copies changing hands for large sums of money at markets and car boot sales all over the country. As well as the odd "legit" copy going for big money on flea-bay.

That's a good description. I love the first Manhunt but it's definitely from the Splinter Cell school of stealth, which is NOT for everyone... strict, linear, unforgiving and very trial-and-error if you don't have the knack for it. Do you like stealth games, Paul?
These kind of games almost feel like puzzle games to me. You're presented a problem in the form of a patrol, and have to figure out how to bypass it. There's almost always a few solutions. Then you move on to the next area and try to solve that one. In this case I love the linearity, it's key to the experience.
It's nowhere near as good as Splinter Cell in terms of gameplay but the atmosphere it what makes the game. The final levels and really intense. And yeah the violence is actually wildly overemphasized in the media... not ONCE did I even bother with the most violent executions.

I agree with you about the way splinter cell makes you do things and in a way that's one of the things I prefer about manhunt. There's more choice in how you choose to beat a level, whereas in splinter cell, it's like learning a complex set of instructions and reciting them perfectly. I suppose an analogy would be breakdancing compared to classical ballroom dancing. More room for flexibility and improv in Manhunt and personally I prefer it for it (although I can see why some people prefer splinter cell). I agree Splinter Cell is more polished/refined, but for me it's just a bit less fun.

Have you played Chaos Theory and Double Agent? IMO these games fixed most the flaws of the first two Splinter Cells, which were REALLY brutal and strict. In the last two SCs you're basically free to kill anyone and tackle the missions as you like (except for a few missions that take place in friendly territory), although of course there's consequences. Chaos Theory especially is really wide open. They even give you a shotgun, though it's really dangerous use.
SC Pandora Tomorrow, on the other hand, is the cruelest stealth game ever.
BTW there's a new stealth game demo up on Xbox Live called Vampire's Rain... it's a Splinter Cell ripoff, but you're sneaking around VAMPIRES, and as soon as they see you, they go after you at superhuman speed and rip you apart. The demo kind of sucks but I like the premise of sneaking around supernatural beings that you stand NO chance against. It's intimidating. Too bad it looks like they dropped the ball.

Fascinating, Manhunt 2 has received an AO (Adults Only) rating for North America.
This is big news, business-wise, because many retail outlets won't carry games with the dreaded AO. And Nintendo does not allow AO games. And no game has ever earned an AO rating for its violence. The plot is getting pretty thick.
