(NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 system, PSP system, and Nintendo’s Wii™. 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." IGN has a teaser video here: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/883/883115/vids_1.html Gotta wonder what the controls for Wii will be like? Simulated neck slicing? Suffocating? Not exactly the kind of software that Nintendo is usually known for, but they have been trying to shed their "kiddie" image. I hope its good, I liked the first one, even if it was just a mindless gorefest.

who cares?, with all the trouble that faced there first i doubt very much it would get released, plus it was god aweful anyway in my opinion.

It will definitely get released, I don't see why it wouldn't. What didn't you like about the first one?

[Danny]

dunno, everything maybe, it wasnt my kind of game, just killing for killings sake, like what kind of target market is a game like that aimed at?

[Craig]

I quite liked Manhunt, I just wish they would leave some games (and films) alone nowadays and just kept Manhunt as a 'one off' thing.

dunno, everything maybe, it wasnt my kind of game, just killing for killings sake... I know what your saying Hellz, I like my killing with a bit of class. Like Silent Hill 2 for example. No point here really, just thought I'd plug that game again seeing as though it ain't been raised in a while.

Zzzzzzzzzz. I'll make sure to avoid this. I'm still mad I spent like $40 on the first one.

[Chaos]

Yeah. The Manhunt sequel was already moving forward with last-gen dev kits. That's why you're seeing it on ps2 and the Wii (the Wii uses gamecube dev kit). I wouldn't hold your breath if you're waiting for Manhunt II on the 360 or PS3.
