Product Description:
The sequel to Rockstar's sinister action game about a man who wakes up in a living nightmare where he is being stalked for sport and must sneak through the shadows and kill by whatever means he can devise in order to fight his way out. The sequel picks up with a new lead character, new gangs, a new storyline with gruesome twists and turns, and much more. The urban horrors of Cancer City are gone. Manhunt 2 takes place in a dark, shadowy, asylum filled with dark realities and psychological turmoil.
Danny and Leo were subjects in a diabolical experiment that had gone wrong. They were the only two survivors. The game starts in a dingy asylum. You're Danny and your goal is to escape and let no one stand in your way - guards, inmates, nurses, doctors - are all enemies. Can you? Leo talk to Danny throughout the entire escape. There are questions about Danny's sanity but you don't have enough time to consider it as he rampages through the 'hospital' killing his way from one level to the next. He is, of course, relentlessly pursued by a group of viscous hunters who will also stop at nothing to finish Danny off. Actively pursued, the hunted Danny Lamb must tackle his way out of a nightmare where the stakes are as real as they are dangerous. While the core gameplay is still sneaking, shooting, and performing stealth attacks, there are a number of new options available for players in this exciting new version that's ripe and ready for the Wii. It's bound to be a major hit with Wii owners.
Like the original Manhunt, Manhunt 2 isn't for the faint-hearted ( ESRB rating is M for Mature). Death scenes are particularly gruesome, gory and bloody. Improved AI and advanced graphics make the game seem more realistic. Coupled with an eery soundtrack and sensational audio effects, Manhunt 2 is a sure-fire sequel for fans in search for frenzied action, explosive gameplay, and pulse-tingling adventure.

- Great game
Not as easy to control as the PSP version but still awesome. The only game I wanted for the Wii. My kid/wife plays all the mario crap and I play Manhunt 2. My gaming lies with Xbox 360 which is a way better system.

- Not for kids, teens or adults, just kind of sick and that's all
Maybe I'd rate this game "just for adults" if it had some interesting gameplay and wasn't just appealing to a sick mind. I guess we can hope that the existence of this game will keep a few frog rectums free of firecrackers by occupying the time of people with those sorts of hobbies. That is about the best I can say for it.

I will read game reviews a little more literally in the future, as I thought the negative reviews on this were just hyperbole. What's so mind-boggling is that some group of people thought this kind of stuff needs to be in the world, and put their energy and money into developing it.

- Manhunt 2
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.
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.
