Ok I haven't played this game yet so my review maybe a bit biased, but not my fault that the damn BBCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, it looks amazingly gory and has huge amoust of swearing. If Rockstar keep it like this then it is going to be my type of game. So Right now I need to go find a bootleg copy. Holla at me if you know one.

i don't have this game cause as everyone knows by now the release of it never happened because of its adults only rating, but that can't make me want it that much more...i really hope they don't cut stuff out of this game 2 make it a mature rating cause that'll suck

When it comes and it will come I will get it and so should you. ( That is if your old enough and mature enough or have your parents consent.)

It has a lot of flaws. For starters, the graphics are basically first gen PS2, which is nothing impressive. The Wii is capable of so much more. The characters mouths don't even move when they talk half the time. There's no excuse for that anymore. Sound effects are terrible. You knock random objects over and they make no sound whatsoever. The AI is full-on retarded. You can rip apart someone's spine right next to another dude. He'll see you and come running. You run into the shadows about 5 feet away, and he magically forgets that his friend was just brutally killed and goes back to walking around. The assassinations are very difficult to see thanks to the ESRB. If you get good at assassinations, you can eventually pay more attention to the kill itself rather than the icon in the corner telling you where to move the Wii remote.

Towards the end of the game, it becomes more of a chore. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. You want a good game that's like Manhunt 2, buy Condemned 2. It'll have what you want.

Anyone who has been following this game should know why I am giving it 3 stars. It saddens me that they had to edit this game, however that is not the whole reason for the 3 stars... the other reason is that you can tell, this game is a complete PS2 port. The graphics are pretty weak, and do the Wii no justice at all. If you can look past that, the game is pretty sweet and if you pay attention, you can make out some of the execution moves, but for the most part they are blurred out. I personally think its a unique touch (or thats how I am looking at it). This is another game that pleases me for the mere fact that it is another franchise that came to the Wii.

This game is borderline appalling in the control it places in your hands. The way the game puts you in control of murder is nothing short of amazing...

MOTION SENSITIVE MURDER...

It'll make you cringe as you reign crushing blows with hammers upon your victims. This is truly a unique addition to this genre and an innovative upgrade from the first Manhunt. If you enjoyed Manhunt, this game will make you flip out.

Wanted to like this game, and I think it did have some good ideas for mixing stealth and action gameplay... but the forced censoring of "gore" scenes hurt the games main conceit, and some of the better ideas don't seem to be carried through as well as I hoped.  The atmosphere developed early on was great, even if the enemy AI wasn't, and might have set my expectations too high for the rest of the game.


Have to play more, and it's possible that the rating can improve if the game gets much better.  Don't count on it though.  I'd say that you are better off looking at either Godfather or Scarface on Wii, both of which provide some of the same thrills but with better storylines and execution (harhar) of ideas.

The game is nowhere near as good as the original Manhunt. Still though at times it's very enjoyable but unfortunately most of the time it's very, very unsatisfying. The AI is lacking, the censoring of the executions is preposterous. 9 out of 10 times you can't see what's happening and the environment isn't as moody as in the first game. It's all a bit flat. Only for the die hard fans of Manhunt.
