1 - Ah, no next gen version?

(I don't count Wii as next gen, I call it 'different gen.')
Imagine procision knife cutting with the Wiimote, awesomeness.

1.1 - Actually

We're in the current gen, and like it or not, the Wii is in the current generation of consoles, in a purely logical manner. But I think I know where you're going with that. So technically this game is being made for a last-gen, a new-gen, and a crappy portable system.

I'm banking that the Wii version will probalby be the most interesting, and best selling, of the three.

The wii sure is trying to shake the kiddy image. We already have Godfather, Driver and Scarface.

3 - I hated this game

It made me feel dirty for playing it. I've lost my respect for Rockstar, it just seems like they sink to new lows with every game they make. To this day I have never played San Andreas and I will not be playing this game either.

3.2 - Dont' be blinded....

It was actually a very good game. And an extremely good concept - which mocked are reality television, showing how extreme it may get to. Or at least taking the mick at the very concept of reality shows for entertainment.

Intelligent game, with amazing game-play system and atmosphere - and hell the voice acting was some of the best I have ever heard in a game.

Absolutely amazing voice-acting. Some of those mental-patients were harrowing and amusing and the voice-over guy 'controlling' you was such a great performance that built until the end of the game.

Don't be fooled by the violence - hey "Saw 3" was an intelligent film....really taking the genre to a new level.

3.3 - _

A game could have the best mechanics, but if the source material disagrees with you then the game suffers for it. Im sorry I stopped playing the game after I beat someone to death with the bat and the man on the radio said, "Oh yeah, your getting me off." That was it..end of story.

3.4 - Did they forget to tell you

It's a game! If you want to keep away from explicit content including incest, rape and violence I suggest you never read the bible. It has made many people mix up fiction with reality!

The point is that it is mocking what has both become of television entertainment and video games. Yes the guy is crazy - yes you're meant to be disturbed. Thankfully you're killing crazy gang members.

But heres the thing, for once it points out how far it can go and you are desperately aware that you are killing for entertainment - so far games have had people running around killing people and we have become desensitised...HALO, Killzone, Prince of Persia - they'll all about killing people for your entertainment and nobody gives a crap - it seems like a natural thing to do and that's scary.

This game highlights why this is so scary, bringing what playing this 'game' in life would entail and you get to kill the sick producer who made you do it. It's clever, it's disturbing, it's hard to play, but it certainly is not desensitising violence in games.

You hear it got banned in the UK for a while since a kid killed his friend and apparently was inspired by manhunt. Stupid, it's like blaming Marylin Manson for the Columbine shootings. And one the kids shouldnt have this game, and second it was his friend who played it - the killler kid had never played it in his life.

yeah still not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's a shame that a title now will have to put an incredible amount of effort and money to be a title on the ps3...as if they aren't amazing graphically then they are accused of illustrating that the ps3 cannot perform graphically. Slightly sad that games like this may not see the light of day on the ps3. Imagine this game as completely realistic...it just wouldn't work.

7.1 - Good game acutally.....

if you like the Movies like Saw & Hostle with a slighty better story Manhunt is it. Controls solid, Story pretty well written and acted, A.I. is pretty good even in it's default setting. You can find the orginal for about $8 used check it out well worth it if your a fan of the genre.

7.2 - Headphone support was AMAZING

On the Xbox (never played the other versions, if there are any), if you wear your headset while you play, the "announcer" whispers messages in your ear to coerce you into attacking people.

Very freaky effect but very cool use of the headset for offline play.

8 - Oh man -

I loved this game when it first came out and hate that I ever traded it back in after beating it. It was one of those games, where you nearly knew what the outcome was everytime after the play through, but just couldn't quite pull your eyes away from the screen or help telling someone else across the room to, "look" whenever massive violence against some a**hole was to take place. MH 2? cool. Just wish it was on PS3.

I never played the first game on my Xbox or PS2. I wonder if Rockstar will make a new Manhunt 2 which was built from the ground up, or it uses the RAGE engine that they used for the game Table Tennis. Well i would get the Wii version of this game as it should have better graphics and the controls would be sooo awesome.
