Manhunt 2
Manhunt 2 is the debut title from the newly formed Rockstar London studio, which is developing the game in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North. The Wii version is being developed by Rockstar Toronto. Manhunt 2 will be available this summer.
"With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We are also excited to have our newest development team, Rockstar London, working on the title alongside our two established UK studios, Rockstar North and Leeds."

Yeah baby!

Manhunt rocks! Thank you Rockstar! The Wii truly is a great system.

I live on the estate where the teen manhunt killing happened, yes I really do. This could be very very good or just a lame ps2 port.

Nice graphics.
Pottsy said:
Looking good so far!
Ekaj185 said:
Ohhhh yeah finally.
Owlboy said:
Well the first one was very repetitive but since the wiimote is just plain fun to use and they may have switched things up a bit I think this game should be at least decent, otherwise it'll still stand out as nintendo's leap from the "kiddie" label.

Wii. Kicking sony & microsoft ass.

I want GTA 4 and Valve's Portal and Half Life 2 out by the end of 2007.

Good to go!

You know I have been a Nintendo fan all my life, in fact I still have my original Nintendo, SNES and N64 but the GameCube really disappointed me. It's great to hear that Nintendo is FINALLY focusing on adults, the people who actually buy consoles.
Crimson Hawk said:
Hey kids buy consoles too Utimer, adults aren't the only ones who bought the Wii.
Wiipaw said:
Hey, what do you mean? My mommy says I'm a big boy!
jaden wii said:
They will make it less violent than the first one so it doesn't get banned.
Gonzo said:
They're taking baby steps. Their first big step is going to be GTA:4.
Drunkspleen said:
I don't think Nintendo is finally focusing on the adults, I think they just acknowledge that the same people who played the NES and SNES are playing the Wii so they are happy to have this game. If you look at the actual Nintendo produced titles they haven't really made that jump yet though.
Bobs Ya Uncle said:
I bet this will get banned.
Franksy said:
Man this is going to be good. And I mean GOOD.
Master Foot said:
There are ports everywhere! LoZ:TP, Prince of Persia, The Godfather: Blackhand Ed, and even Resident Evil 4. For goodness sake Rockstar, strike the iron while it's HOT! By next year, nobody will be porting last gen games and the prime period for port cash-ins will be over. Rockstar can at least use a GTA port to get acclimated to the Wii so that they can at make a Wii GTA 4. Shame on you Rockstar!
Gonzo said:
Yea, I want a GTA 4. I want it badly, we need the good games. I've seen trailers of GTA 4 and the game is crazy. It's in New York City, and I live there. Everything looks the same. And on the Metlife building, it says GETALIFE instead!
DragonFoxCoon said:
I'm telling you; Nintendo won't allow a GTA title on the Wii. I'm surprised to hear that Manhunt's coming our way. And to Utminer, Nintendo's primary focus is on accessibility. They want everyone to play the Wii, from long time gamers to your old timer grandmother.
Franksy said:
Let's have grand theft auto instead.
[RS]Omega Red said:
I doubt we'll see Rockstar even offer GTA4 for the Wii. The system and the capacity for the disks probably can't handle the game. If they did make it for the Wii (which I hope they would find a way to do) it would probably be some stripped down version. A GTA PS2 port would be more likely.

I saw the trailer to this game and it looks CREEPY.

Can't go wrong with Rockstar. Now bring us GTA.
Necrozombie said:
For god sake, never mind GTA you people. This is a forum for manhunt 2. You'll get gta 4 when they're finished with it. Until then let them be and let us manhunt fans talk about manhunt 2. Damn.
phoenix said:
This will be weird. I loved manhunt on the pc but you killed Starkweather, this means a whole new director and a new character to control. I hope they tie it in somehow, let's hope and pray. Still going to buy though.
ps3 sucks said:
Looks like a promising game, it has a deep dark secret in it - action and also your character is mental. Just shut up, this is for people who are talking about Manhunt not GTA. There won't be one until 2008, so just take in all the great games that are coming out soon.

Yay gore.
BrothaZ said:
Don't forget pals, this is the GORIEST game EVER made.
JONATHAN KENT said:
The game is now OFFICIALLY banned in the UK. Can anyone tell me if it's banned in US or other countries in europe?
itstimetoplaydawii said:
I think they may lift the ban if they tone the game down a little (which they are being forced to do).
Deadlyblack said:
I don't think this shoulod be on the Wii. Should be on 360 or PS3.
Divinity Boy said:
This game looks disgusting. I read a interview with one of the creators. This is one of the more gruesome attacks. Creep up on the guy from behind, clamp on one of his balls with wire-cutters, rip it off, and then when he's squirming, clamp onto a spinal disk and rip it out. GROSS! Another one is lock him in a dentist chair and work on his skull with drills etc. GROSS! And all this happens in mini-cinematics and on-screen prompts.
Zak said:
It's not banned in France. I ordered mine from france, should come soon, and it is the PAL version so it will work in the UK.

I love the fact that Nintendo is finally allowing more mature games to be released for their consoles. After the gamecube I wasn't planning on obtaining another Nintendo system.

I think the Nintendo Wii people are the best because they are bringing the best games out.
