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.:barf:

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.

Adolescents they love this kind of thing.

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. :D

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.
